Almost didn't do it...

But I'm glad I got off my butt and did. When I got home from school this afternoon I felt utterly exhausted, much too tired to run. So I hit the couch for a snooze. I didn't actually fall asleep, just rested my eyes for a while, and listened to the rain pour down. Three 70 mile weeks in a row, ending with Sunday's hard 17 miler got to me, I didn't sleep well last night, usually the first sign that I'm near the edge. But since this week is for recovery, no need to worry. I nearly talked myself into just taking the day off and staying on the couch. But I rallied and convinced myself to at least run a few miles on the treadmill. When I went outside to grab my headphones out of the car I realized the rain had stopped and it was actually kind of nice out. So I geared up and hit the streets. I figured I'd just do an easy 4, but by mile 2 I felt pretty good, and then the rain started. Since it was warm, it felt good and I did an easy 5 instead. Feel better now for having done it!
