Do the damn thing!
Today was an easy run day. Easy enough, right? Hah.
Even though yesterday went quite well, and I didn't feel nearly as poorly after the run as I had felt after the run two weeks ago, I still wanted to take today as a rest day. And according to the schedule, that would have been OK. Sundays are your option - easy run (which for me really means walk because there is no such thing as an easy run yet) or rest day. Oh how I yearned to be lazy!
But there was part of me that kept thinking about Brenda, and what she's going to have to face tomorrow, and how taking a walk wouldn't really be all that hard. Plus, there's the fact that my dogs haven't been out for a walk in about 3 weeks - that's partially my fault just for being lazy and focused elsewhere, and partially it's because one of my dogs got very ill 3 weeks ago and I didn't want to push her too hard.
So I thought to myself... I could be lazy. I could just spend my evening sitting around doing nothing. But then tomorrow I'd still feel guilty for not taking the dogs out. And is taking a walk really that hard? Really truly?
So I got out and did the damn thing. Eat your heart out, Coach Al!
