The rain forecasted for this weekend came earlier than I thought it would. I had planned to run 5 miles in the early afternoon, but it started raining much earlier. I contemplated running in the rain so many times but in the end couldn't bring myself to do it. So, I did what I did earlier in the week and headed back to the gym. Ugh.
I wanted to do 5 miles on the treadmill, in line with my training program, but I didn't have the willpower. Even with "Born To Run" on audiobook (which is really interesting so far), I could only manage to run 2 miles, take a break, and then run another mile. I wasn't feeling it mentally, and my hips were aching a bit. While I'm pretty sure the ache is just a healthy muscle ache from yoga last night, I don't like to play around with hip pain. When it starts, I stop.
So, I didn't get in the 5-mile run my training plan had scheduled for me this week, but I figure the extra 3-mile run I threw in earlier this week will make up for that somewhat.
For now, I'm waiting for the rain to stop so I can get back on the trails.
