I Hated It

I ran 5 miles today.  And I hated it.  I had just an icky day today anyhow; I was tired and did dull work all day.  Then I started yawning and couldn't stop.  I texted my dear friend Spoiled Yogi for some motivation to run.  She suggested music, specifically, Beyonce.  I started my run listening to The Dirty Guv'nahs, a little feeling of local gone huge rock.  Then I switched to The Afters after the Guv's Pandora station got lame.  And on the way back, when I wanted to stop and crawl at about mile 3, I tuned in to some Beyonce which was a huge boost to my feet.  Pandora finished my run by playing Let's Get It Started by the Black Eyed Peas, which helped but didn't make it all better.

I'm so so so glad my Spoiled Yogi suggested music today.  I really don't think I would have gotten through my run without it.  I just was Not into it today.  It's getting harder every day, but today was Really hard.  Today, I didn't even feel good after the run.  Even on days I don't want to run, I almost always feel better for doing it after the run.  Not today.  I just hated it today.  I've got to figure out what's going on and change my tude a bit.  I want so bad to love running.  I just don't.

Lucky for us, my face-making niece will be in town this weekend and hopefully provide me with some new material to express my running through pictures.
