BIKE 1hr and 16.6 miles, indoors
RUN 28 mins and 3 miles, outdoors
Decided to get the bike done early so I could get to work at a decent time, but that's just never how it goes in the end. When I got done with the ride it was still dark, so I couldn't run right away. I worked on my poached eggs, cooked some carrots, and waited for the sun. Once up, I took note of the temp -- high 40's -- and cross-checked that to Wilmington: low 55's. This will give me an idea of what to expect race morning. Except when I'm running I'm warmer than I am standing at a beach or riding a bike!
The run felt great to my surprise. Not terribly high on motivation but it didn't suck either like Saturday's brick. I'm so mental!
My momentum was great until I left the house and realize I didn't have the parking pass, didn't have the alarm fob, and got locked out of the alarm app somehow. DH had the pass at the vet office, so boogied on down to get that. And as I drove in my motivation started to slide. Once at work, I ended up reading for about 20 mins and motivations slipped MORE! I forced myself to get going and do the neuron harvest (coworker out of lab for morning), forced myself to stay busy. And it worked!! I do feel better, clearer, and happy.
Do I need to point out AGAIN to myself that these things aren't that hard -- 3 mile run, getting off my ass to get stuff done, etc -- it's just that I think about it too much. More thinking = More opportunity for the Blerch!
As a side note, today's Riddle answer was HABIT! Funny that I'm reading a book right now on how we form and can change habits!
