I had planned to run three days this week: Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, but as usual, Wednesday was a bad day, so I ended up doing my second run today, on Thursday. (I should just stop scheduling runs on Wednesday, then I won't be disappointed when I don't make it.) I feel like I've been off forever, but it's only been two days. Since I've been running 4–5 days a week, I don't usually have two days off. Running three days a week feels like I've been sloughing off, although I always trained for my marathons and half marathons three days a week, so it shouldn't seem so bad. But I've had a stressful week and I've been skipping yoga and meditation, too. I just sort of feel like everything's falling apart. I've got a doctor's appointment today, maybe that will help.
Anyway. I felt slow today, and it looks like I was a bit slower than usual. I ran to Radio Abel and played Hawkwind's Warrior on the Edge of Time. I did a quick estimate of how long the album was, and it came to over 40 minutes, so I didn't run the whole album. There was one zombie chase, at 28 minutes, which I evaded. It helped that I'd decided to put my speed increase down to 10%!
I got up this morning at around 6:40 and didn't get out to run until almost 7, but the morning was cool. Sun's coming up a bit later now anyway, so I might just move my morning wake-up notification up to 6:30 AM.
