Talkin’ ‘Bout My Motivation

After two days of strength training and sore hips (as I think I pushed it on Sunday given my lack of recent long runs), it was time to get back out there this morning.

I did not want to get back out there this morning.

23 Hours a Day

I wanted to test out the video quality for this morning’s pic but was running low on time. So instead I just did a quick regular pic – a 180 degree turn from yesterday’s, which was taken from above while I looked happy.

Why I Am Doing This

I just did a li’l old 3.18 mile run this morning. I overslept and got up at 6:15. SO LATE. I only had time for a shorty. Wait, can I use “shorty” to mean “short run?” I guess I just did.

I thought my post-run picture would be of my new leggings. The brand is Moret Ultra, a company that is not paying me to write this. I’m used to plain old boring running tights, and the three pairs I bought over the weekend have cool little designs on them. Simple designs, though. Nothing crazy. I am a very plain dresser. I hate patterns and do not own any clothing with patterns. They make me dizzy. So for me, this is really LIVING IT UP.

So Basic

I am very happy right now because it is Bagel Friday at work and I am eating a bagel. This week it’s a whole wheat everything with just a little butter. Friday mornings are rough only in the sense that I have to wait 2.5 to 3 hours later than normal to eat breakfast. But it’s all worth it. Because of the bagels.

September Workout Summary & Why I Don’t Go To The Gym

I’m still not sure if it’s fall allergies or a cold. My dad told me the pollen is bad lately, and he should know. It might be that. Either way, I woke up this morning with half a stuffed up nose and ultra tired. I’ve been getting about 5 to 6 hours of a sleep a night, which I can usually handle, but lately it feels like I need more.
