The alarm goes off at 05:25 this morning and I almost don't want to get up. On my phone (which is my alarm) I check emails and Facebook while laying in bed. Then I decide that if I don't get out of bed that I will have to be mad at myself for not getting up and walking this morning.
No coffee in the pot?! Not even day-old coffee in the pot!? No problem--just walk to Starbucks. The closest Starbucks is only a half mile walking distance from my house (or about a 4 minute drive). But, you can't get something for nothing, so I decided to walk farther than I did yesterday morning then I could go get coffee. I walked to 16th Street, turned around went past my apartment and on to The Bux! It was not even 07:00 yet. The only other people inside were a guy reading a newspaper and a bicyclist. I had a tall, skinny, cinnamon dolce latte at kids' temperature (actual drinking temperature). It was delicious!
I paused the Endomondo while I was in getting my coffee. Yet when I went to turn it off when I got home it has already stopped. I don't know how or where it turned off, but I probably went a little farther than the 2.65 miles it says.
Time/Weather:
I left the house at 06:00. It was clear and bright. There was no wind! It was about 65*F when I left the house, 68*F when I got home.
What Worked:
Starbucks worked! I was bored while I was walking this morning and wishing I could take a nap between my walk, street clean up with Las Dedicadas, the gym with my mom, drinks at The Pint House in the evening, and then a 6 year old's birthday party. Yikes! Become a runner and also have a thousand things to do on the weekend on top of it all.
Electronics worked this morning. I think that I am going to have to put some music on my phone--then I only have to take my phone with me. I will only have to bring my ipod when I am using the C25K app.
What Didn't Work:
Somehow my socks didn't work today. I have a blister on the back of my right heel--that's never happened before with these socks. I was wearing my Saucony running shoes, and my gray REI hiking socks that I used for training for the Grand Canyon hike and that I used earlier this week. For some reason they were just rubbing the wrong way this morning. Hopefully it doesn't continue because I can't afford to buy 10 pairs of $14.99 running socks that are pretty much the same as these socks.
Motivation:
We all know the answer to that one... Starbucks.
It was just the right size and the skinny version is still pretty tasty even if there is no whip on top.
