I Got Nothin', or Workout Day 4 of 24 for May

My friend, KNBO'R (yes, initials) just asked me where my blog was. I feel like I have nothing to say. So I'll say it anyway.

I had scheduled to visit a friend at 9am, so my workout was delayed. I did, however, wake up, put on my workout clothes, and get prepped. When Lambie came home from school at 10:45, I dilly dallied for 20 minutes. Peach in her stroller, Lambie on her scooter, and I in my running shoes, went out for the week 1 day 2 of Couch to 5K.

What went wrong. Do you really want to know? Alright... One minute into the warmup, my shoelaces came untied. Next time, I will double knot them before I leave. Two minutes into the warmup, somebody stopped me to ask for directions to a location across the river. ...Which would have been easier to explain had there been a boat or ferry... rather than about 10 streets to describe. After the start of the first run of eight, I realized I didn't do the pre-run puff on the inhaler. hm. I still ran. During run number three, Lambie decided she didn't want to ride her scooter anymore, so stood there as I got further from her... we were on a cul-de-sac, and yes, I returned to her. During run five of eight, it started to rain. I actually discovered that didn't make me miserable. Which was a nice surprise. Between runs five and six, my water bottle fell, breaking in two. hm. Run six of eight, Lambie tripped over her feet on her scooter. And fell. It was just a little fall, but when you combine it with a little rain, and tired legs, it's very sad. So I did what I could for the training, and we headed home. I ended up running circles around my cul-de-sac to make up for the time lost, and I felt I did an equivalent of what I missed.

Sigh...

Note to self...

What went right, you ask?

I did it. That was very right. I also wasn't completely out of my mind exhausted, or begging for the runs to finish. It was awesome. I was much more resilient. I'm actually curious to try the next run, to see if I can do it.

And that's all I've got. If it's proof of tenacity, that's just fine. It was all I had today.
