• run: 5 mi
• time: 50 min
• temp: 18
• road conditions: little slippery
• aches/pains: groin at the end
• what i listened to when i ran: a genius mix of alt. singer/songwriters. lots of elliott smith and ben folds. i thought something was wrong but enjoyed it nonetheless.
• comments: i took a mid winter break. sat home in the evenings all week, watched movies, enjoyed being lazy. took it easy on the run today and it felt really good to get back to it. it was only a 5 day break, but it seemed to really help my attitude. trying to enjoy the run rather than see it as a chore, a means to get faster. i think i got a little greedy when i placed the last 2 races. time to back off and enjoy. i'm starting to look forward to a nice evening run this week. it's not going to be dark in the evenings for much longer. as much as i hate that headlamp, i do enjoy the peacefulness of running after dark.
