Today was supposed to be my rest day, but yesterday turned into a rest day instead. So I got up to run this morning. I was off to a late start because I let my alarm snooze a couple of times. But I did eventually get out of bed and out the front door. It seemed a lot easier only a few days ago to get up early and run, but I guess now that Summer Break has officially started it is more difficult to wake up before sunrise to go for a run. It is going to be more tough next week when I have to start waking up earlier to beat the heat and the sun. I will at least have the opportunity to take a nap in the middle of the day since I am not working.
Time/Weather:
I was out the door at 05:55 this morning. My phone's weather app said it was 73ºF, but it felt much warmer than that when I was out on the road. I also noticed this morning that there is a weather advisory for this weekend with the hottest temperatures of the year so far. Great, guess I start my 04:30 wake ups tomorrow. Today was a clear morning and a bright sun. No breeze, not even cool crisp air.
What Worked/What Didn't Work:
Everything seemed in order this morning. Luckily I was able to adjust my time on Endomondo for my run because I spent so much time waiting to cross the street at the lights. I only changed it by three minutes, but it was probably a little more. I will have to start pausing my Endomondo when I get to a crosswalk so that it doesn't mess with my running time. I ran a Week Two program and then a Week One program. It was a tough run this morning.
Motivation:
Yesterday's "rest day" just seemed to be a lack of motivation. I didn't want to get out of bed, I didn't want to go to the gym, and I didn't want to do much of anything. But today, I got up and went for a run with a fresh batch of motivation!
