I can do nothing about this situation so I shouldn't dwell on it. Hopefully I can rectify the charging situation otherwise the expensive watch is getting exchanged. Happy this happened at the beginning of the run, I was free to do what I could and accept no way to track today's training.
It's been pretty windy around here. I contemplated running after work yesterday but on a drive back to town the wind showed me who was boss and I didn't feel like fighting it through a run either. Outloud I told Husband as we laid down to go to sleep, "I will run 5 miles after work tomorrow!" As soon as something is said outloud (or posted on Facebook) it is happening. That's my motto at least...
The wind bothers me...I always seem to catch it in my face when I'm running uphill and today was no different. However, as I was battling the wind I reminded myself that there will never be a perfect situation and someone is always going to be pushing or pulling you to do what they want you to do - similar to the wind. I don't get a choice at what the wind throws at me much like I don't get a choice at what life throws at me. Fortunately, I do get the opportunity to decide how I react to situations and to the weather. Running gives you A LOT of time to yourself and a lot of time to think. At the end of a run I always feel good about myself and ready to conquer any other challenge I'm faced with.
Today I put my head down and muscled through the wind and I'll do it again on Saturday for 9 miles if I have to. It's hard to say what the weather is going to be like on May 6th when I run my half though I hope it's mild and comfortable.
Day 31 - number of vehicles that almost hit me, 0
Day 31 - number of vehicles that I waved to, 2! One of which backed out of the intersections when they saw me coming so I could pass.
