Run a Cold
I have a cold, a niggly, iggly little cold that woke me up with a dry gummy mouth last night and continues to annoy me today. It's the kind of cold that doesn't make you (me) feel so bad, just very badly for myself. But, it's a beautiful day and I haven't been for a run since Friday and I'm supposed to run three times a week and even if I get loosey goosey with that I can't get too loosey goosey because after finally establishing some kind of running routine, through the winter no less, I don't want to give it up, even if that's what I fell like doing, giving it up, I mean. If my run is as long as that last sentence, I'll feel like I did what I have to do. Which I should just go do. Or something.

You can do it! It only needs to be about 20 minutes of running. You'll be finished and feeling really pleased with yourself in no time. (I read this article about people who've become obsessed with running daily, and for them the minimal run is one mile. Even less than 20 minutes! You could use that as your baseline too.)
I did it. I ran for about 28 minutes. Maybe 29 if I'm feeling generous. I feel OK-but still tired. It was nice to be outside and now I'm glad I did it but not as glad as I expected to be. I think these days I'll only feel really good about getting in the run if I can manage to do it at 6:30. Then, it's like WOO HOO!
isn't it dark at 6:30?
Up until this week it seemed a little ight at 6:30--but this week I really started to notice the darkness and just this morning I thought "no way would I run at this time" -- but I still have a cold, so.....
