Training Day 78: Half of a Long Run

Since I was a bit preoccupied this past weekend I did not get to do my long run (surprise, surprise). So today, I knew I had some catching up to do. The goal was a 7-mile run and after weight training class I made my way to the gym. Although it was a beautiful morning I wasn't quite in the mood to run outdoors. So my good 'ol pal, treadmill and I met again and as always, was very accommodating.

"I am light as a feather."

I noticed how heavy my legs and feet were today. Naturally, being a heavy person, this is to be expected. But I don't know if it was due to be leg workout this morning or what but whew! I was dragging. So as silly as this may sound I needed some sort of mantra: I AM AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER is all I could think of at he time but it worked.

STRETCHING
Listening to Adele for some cooldown & stretching, I kept my headphones on to drown out idiotic conversations that sometimes go on. Is it just me or do you also obnoxious folks who disturb your workout just to ask silly things or share stories that can be somewhat inappropriate? No gym etiquette there!
I really don't mean to vent but I guess I just need to let it out.

Other than that, 'twas a good day, 'twas a good run. Laundry time!
