Sometimes you can run and have your BLT too!

I've been feeling a bit lethargic ever since coming back from Disney World. Maybe it is all this running and racing catching up with me? Regardless, I took my running gear to work on Tuesday and then managed to talk myself out of a lunch time run in favour of a BLT. On Wednesday my running gear still sat in my office but I was once again easily swayed by the idea of going out for lunch so I opted for a leisurely lunch and a new pair of shoes instead. Finally on Thursday I knew I had to get out there because this gym bag had been sitting in my office for multiple days now. DGB and another coworker, P, both wanted to run over lunch as well so there was some additional motivation. Come Thursday morning P had left her running gear at home so it was all up to D and myself. We were both not really feeling it but we pulled the running gear on and stepped out into the chilly but sunny outdoors. After running for about 5 minutes we looked at each other and realized that we had made the right decision - this run was feeling amazing and was just the confidence booster that we needed before Winterstart on Saturday. We finished up with 3.5 miles and then we stopped to grab a sandwich afterwards (another BLT for me). See, you can run and have your BLT too apparently... I will try to not go all out on the Winsterstart race....no time goal in mind, plus I need to remember that I'm running 15 miles the next day. The day that we have a high of 1 deg C and a chance of flurries scheduled for. Brrr...
