I'm updating mainly to keep track of my total mileage.
This week hasn't been good. I missed a short run due to a severe lack of motivation. Caught up with some much needed sleep and felt better by Friday. If I didn't have to work so late on Friday night, I would have gotten a short run yesterday morning.
It had been raining all day today. Of all the half marathons that I trained for before (not including the one I'm currently training for), today was the first time that I missed a major run. Thanks, Mother Nature. It probably didn't negatively (and definitely not positively) affect my overall training though. While I don't mind rain in general or doing a short run (five miles or less) in the rain, I didn't want to do an entire 11 mile run in the rain. I was afraid of getting hit by a car who couldn't stop because of slippery roads. I have enough problems with drivers in dry weather. By the time the rain "let up" and "downgraded" to a light drizzle (I'll tolerate light drizzle during a long run), it was already too late and half of my run would be in the dark. I don't like running in the dark. I also have enough problems with drivers who aren't paying attention or can't see me during the daytime. Nighttime makes it harder or drivers to see running or walking pedestrians. I also knew someone who ran at 5AM. He wore reflective clothes, lights and everything that made himself more visible to drivers. People still couldn't see him.
I normally don't run on Mondays, out of habit, because Mondays are usually my rest days. I will get a run in tomorrow. I already missed a run for the week...meaning I was suppose to run at least three days a week. I ran two days instead. I also can't miss more than more two days of running. I must run!
