I noticed today that I've missed two long runs this time around on the ol' training plan, including the 18-miler I was supposed to run this past weekend. After Thursday's mediocre run, working twenty hours combined on Saturday and Sunday, and the continued cold or whatever it is I have, a run of any kind just didn't seem prudent.
Today I was going to run to Target and back since the weather seemed decent enough, but the wife and daughter forgot the daughter was supposed to babysit, thus delaying the start of my run by about 25 minutes. By the time I was headed out to run, the breeze felt colder and I decided I didn't want to be cold. I've had too many runs where I felt chilled the rest of the day after a run. I ran 5 miles on the treadmill with a 5% incline. After the past week I needed an easy run that wasn't too taxing on my immune system and my ability to resist cold. Some days I do act smarter. Not many, but a few.
