Chris is back! If you must know, he's been gone for 9 long days- hence my lack of child respite. I hung in there for a while but the days seemed to get busier and by the time both children actually fell into their beds, I was too exhausted to consider working out. So I've not worked out for 4 days (unless you count Mama cross-training which holds some weight b/c it's kept me in pretty good shape up to now, for sure).
He got home yesterday and I just couldn't tear myself away until this morning at 6:30. Off I went with my gigantic ipod :) I wasn't feeling the intervals this morning and just wanted to run. I ditched the dogs in the backyard, turned on the TV, and kissed my girl on the way out the door. It was so overcast this morning. Not like New England overcast. Texas overcast. Nuclear, bubbly clouds. The threat of electric skies and pounding, flooding rain. I figured it would make me run faster :) I ran the 4 mile loop that I did on that super-hot evening trial run a couple of weeks ago. I did it backwards to erase the memory of that day. It was very humid b/c of the impending rain and 72 degrees (which felt sooo cool!). It was a great run. My legs never 'talked' to me. I never felt like walking. The ipod helps to fill my head between mantra-moments- I didn't even really have many of those today. Generally the mantras come in when I'm sucking wind and today's run just felt like a puzzle piece that belonged in the day.
