It's been about 3 weeks since I ran. I know, I know, it's horrible. Most times, I have a pretty good reason not to (MIGRAINES). Then other times I have a not so good reason, like laziness. When you stop being active, you begin to lose the desire to be active. Winter time is not helping either. I just want to hibernate.
So I made it out and it was about time. My clothes size is holding steady, but my stomach isn't as flat as I remember. Or maybe it's all in my head. Whenever you stop running, even for just a few days, you feel like you gain weight overnight. So on to the run, it felt very labored. That's what happens when you don't run for weeks. I actually felt like I was running in slow motion. But that's probably because my legs were numb. It's cold out. I really should put another layer under my gear. My core was fine though.
I don't know. Maybe one of these days, I'll start going to bed early enough to be well rested for a morning run. I'm not feeling that I've been neglecting my running. And it's sad because I don't even stay up late anymore. Work makes me so tired. Leaving with a headache almost everyday takes a lot out of me. I've had days where I fall asleep around 9ish and still wake up tired. Maybe I need to go to bed as soon as I get home. That's sad.
Anyway, I need to get my hot chocolate on. It's cold. Oh, and it was just 66° on Wednesday. And supposedly it will be 60ish on Monday. It's currently 28°. I hope I don't get sick.
