I thought I could outsmart Mother Nature today. And I failed miserably.
When I got up this morning I had a plan. One that included going for a run tonight after work. I wasn't planning a long run or anything, just a nice short run to work out some of tightness I was feeling after the two long bike rides I took.
Then I got home from work. And it was windy. And I didn't really feel like running. And plus my toe hurt. I know. I know. Apparently I was looking for any excuse to get out of the run.
So I thought I'd go for a short bike ride instead. Sounded like a good idea to me.
Apparently I forgot about the windy. Which had become quite gusty and stiff in the 5 minutes it took me to change into biking clothes. Hard to ride south in and it felt like I was going nowhere. I briefly thought about turning around and heading back. But nixed that idea, thinking someday I'll appreciate this short 5 mile ride into the gusty winds.
So the ride wasn't the greatest - and it takes a lot for a bike ride to fall into that category for me - and in hind sight I probably should have just stuck with the run. Oh well. Maybe I'll sneak that short run in tomorrow night if it isn't raining.
After I get home from the pool. Because that's the plan for tomorrow. I become a fish again. Stay tuned.
We all have those days. I had a swim on the schedule this morning, but when the alarm went off at 430, I rolled over to turn off the alarm and noticed my arms were pretty sore from pushups and lateral pull downs, and canned my morning swim. Now I have to make it up, either switching today and tomorrow's workout around or something. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya, sometimes we look for any excuse to not run. I'm guilty of that!! Biking in the wind is so not fun... :(
