7 mile Wednesday

Could not fall asleep last night. Ended up skipping my first class to get my run in. I hate doing that....but all he does is read from the Power Point when we review....so I will review the Power Point on my own. The run itself did not go very well. I feel like I have to get used to stopping and starting. I think it is something I need to force myself to do. When I get in my rhythm I can just keep going and going ....but if something small stops me, it is very difficult to find that rhythm. By office is about halfway through my 7 mile run so I stopped in to grab a fast drink of water (yes I have two flasks on my belt but I needed a reason in my head). I only stayed about 4 or 5 minutes, but that was all it took to get all flustered. About a half-mile down the road, my cell phone came out of its holder in my pants and slid down my leg....only God knows what anyone would have thought if they had seem me adjusting it in public. It came out two more times during the run, which rarely ever happens. Think some of it is in my head....but I need to check my pants when I have a minute to make sure the holder is still secure.

It was very very cold and windy this morning. It said the windchill was 6 but it felt colder when I was running into the wind. During all my frustrations I must have hit a button on my stopwatch, because when I finally got home it said 50 minutes as the time...and I know that can't be right. It had to be closer to 1 hr 8 min or 1 hr 12 min. Oh well. Got the run in and made it to my next class (barely) on time.
