Morning Run

Well, it felt good, anyway. Or at least kinda good. So maybe it didn't feel all that good, but I got it done!

Ran 4.6 this morning - didn't think it was that far - in about 47 minutes and some change. I really like running in the morning - just wish I could pry my lazy ass out of bed and get it done more often. It's a good start to the day and gets part of the "working out chaos" feeling out of the way. Lessens some of the guilt, if you will. I didn't sleep good again last night (too warm despite a freezing house and still friggin itching) but when the alarms went off I guilted myself up. I'm hoping that makes me CRASH HARD tonight after swimming. The route was easy, the run was easy and pressure-free. The new iPod arm band gizmo worked fine and I wasn't too opinionated on the new headphones - I will say though that if I mash them too far in my ears and they cut off all outside sound I FREAK out - hearing my own raspy breath and the sound of the cord bumping my back is instantly nauseating. Think I lose my equilibrium or something...just weird.

All in all, a good way to start the day. Now if I can just figure out my stomach and get it to cooperate on the schedule too, it'll all be fine!

EDIT: I also swam 3500yd in the evening. Didn't break any speed records, in fact have gained a small bit of time since I've not been swimming and have definitely switched the stroke into open water mode, but I did it and it's done. So there....that counts too.
