I thought about adding yesterday's mileage and I decided that I would because I did run a portion of the event. However, I used an old/retired pair of shoes....but I realized that I used the wrong retired pair of shoes! I meant to wear the pair that was recently retired in March, but I put on the pair of shoes that I retired back last October! Whoops, oh well!

This year during the months of April and May seem gloomier than last year and the year before during the same months and we had gloomy weather last year and the year before too (mostly in May), not necessarily with more rain...just darker and gloomier clouds. It makes it harder for me to go out for a run because gloomy weather makes for great sleeping weather and all I want to do is sleep in.

I almost didn't do my run today because it was dark and gloomy outside. When I finally found the motivation, it was later than my usual time and I was actually glad that I got it done when I did because there was a little drizzle/mist during most of my run. I didn't want so much rain that I came home sopping wet and dripping, but I somewhat wished that it was a little heavier mist/drizzle. It is what it is. Whatever moisture there was during my run, it felt good on my face.

Now I don't know what I'm going to do with my bike ride time. I'm going from 50+ miles a week to 10 or 20 miles week (possibly non-existent) now and I'm disappointed that I won't be riding to work for awhile.
