This morning was cold, windy and little rainy. I can do cold, I can do a little rainy and I can do windy...but I can't do all three at once. So I waited to see what the rest of the day would bring and the little rainy stopped and the cold got a little warmer, but the windy stayed the same. Wind, how I hate you...I hated you during baseball games, track meets, and football games and driving and I still hate you now that I am running.

I was going to wimp out and run on the treadmill today but I decided that I really should save that for when it is brutally cold out not just a drop in November temperatures, for the record it was 33 degrees out. Which normally would be fine, but have I mentioned that it was windy too! I realized I prefer running mid-morning for several reasons. One of the main reasons is I don't eat a big breakfast and running after lunch even after several hours my lunch never settles quite right when I run. And I have more energy in the morning...I am not an afternoon person so much. Maybe that is why I never had much energy to workout when I worked.

My first mile was brutal...I wasn't even a 1/2 a block away when I realized this was not going to be easy. I was going up a slight hill and the wind was in my face....it's bad enough that my first mile I am always trying to get my breathing regulated then to add the wind to it too. The second mile the wind was at my back so it was a little easier, however I did end up walking for about a minute after I completed mile 2. I ended only going 30 minutes and not 3 miles today.

I realized I did not post my progress sheet on Sunday so here it is...better late than never.
