or, how I should really start getting up in the morning to run, again.
I've been doing all of these mid-morning or mid-afternoon runs. And complaining about the heat and humidity.
All of those elements, save the actual running, would have been weird for motivated, working New York me.
Friday, having to take a train in the morning to Artscape in Baltimore, I reverted.
30 minutes of running, will cool temperatures - it was maybe 68!
Wow. What a difference. That, and that I fixed my tunes so that the songs wouldn't automatically shuffle if I moved my arm too much.
Must remember this........

35 Minutes
Or a bit more. What a weird amount of time to run! I'm just getting warmed up and it's already time to turn around! Beautiful day for getting outside, though. The sun sparking off the water was phenomenal.
A chance to take a break from grading and from my swirling mind.
Fingers crossed for Sunday. And for the week leading up to it.

A Girl Could Get Used to This!
"Done, already?"
Not usually glowing words of praise. But today was different. For the first time in a long time - not counting injury runs - I ran only three miles. And it wasn't a race, nor was I being chased.
The new me had decided that I would stick pretty close to the overall miles I am supposed to run this week, as it is supposed to be an 'easy' week. (And, yes, I do know what I am implying by using the quotation marks. Nerd, here!)
The old me would have insisted that she run at least the miles slated for today, even though she had already run at least 41 of the 50 miles slated for this week, with the percentage good that she would run with PPTC tomorrow. Too many miles other days.
The new me said "You need a chance to rest a bit. Next week will be tough. Make sure to get some quality miles in then."
I can't decide if the new me is really wise or just really lazy. I like her, regardless.
What freedom! I can really understand why people like those short runs so much. You barely have time to get warmed up before it's over. Loads of time left over to re-start my push-up routine which I have been slacking badly on. A leisurely stretch. Some much-needed rolling pin time.
And less than an hour had elapsed!
I might use lunch to finish the crossword!
Boy am I letting my hair down today!
