I did NOT feel like running this morning and in fact, wasted so much time procrastinating that I barely got in 5. But I did, and now my day can start. 👍
Morning! Woke up early to go to OTF and had a reserved class and all only to drive there and get there and read last night's email that the morning classes would not happen, sigh. I could be in bed! So, I called PT and on my way to PT now. 5 miles and Pilates tonight.

I wanted to run this morning after the gym...............
But got home and there was some chaos going on, had to clean up my older cat's mess and so I went back to bed afterwards. Hopefully I can force myself out later this afternoon and push Dorian through 4-5 miles....

Good morning!
Another day of jack and shit.
Have a great day folks!
Runner with a riding problem.
Had a Threshold workout to do today.
Took the bike to work. Kept my head low in shame when I crossed runners.
Ran 2 x (12min T w/2min)
Will ride back home tonight.
Yeah you definitely should be ashamed anytime you see another runner and you are not running.
At first I didn't realize I was on a bike. I'd give them a little head nod, as I usually do, but they were looking at me funny. Then I remembered I was on a bike coz I was too lazy to run. I felt like telling them "Hey! I have my running gear with me, I'll be running a workout at lunch time", but didn't and just kept on pedaling in humiliation.
Yes. Runners & cyclists do not acknowledge each other. Except when cyclists (occasionally) say "on your left". I wave & say good morning to all runners; I ignore cyclists and hope to avoid getting run over.
That was funny.
I nod and say hello to everyone I meet while running, but I rarely see either runners or bicyclists on the country roads and suburban neighborhoods where I run. A few dog walkers if I'm late enough, but that's it.
Ha, sometimes I get comments and also waves from cyclists
"Run faster"
"Nice pace"
"You're really moving"
And hellos and high fives from other runners. And walkers. Especially in bad weather. Last winter I would run into the same high fiver nearly every run.
I ran 5. The heat and humidity are back
I usually acknowledge cyclists, only because where I run there is literally no one out on the roads so it's just nice to see some other crazy person out exercising.
