• run: 3 miles
• time: ?
• temp: 45
• road conditions: very windy and gray, but not raining
• aches/pains: ankles for the last mile
• what i listened to when i ran: ben folds - hiro's song, elton john - this song has no title, guster - happiness, night ranger - at night she sleeps, elliott smith - waltz #2
• comments: i found myself struggling with my pace when waltz #2 came on. the "one, two three" beat threw me off because it was a step or two slower than how fast i was going. i'm glad i got myself out there, but it wasn't easy. my excuses not to were plentiful, but the skinny jeans that arrived in the mail today (a steal on ebay) tipped the scales (no pun intended) in the favor of getting out to at least try. i know i could have done 5 miles. the problem is that i didn't want to. my husband was telling me about that there are people in the phillipines who have themselves nailed to a cross in order to reach religious ecstacy. i asked him how long they stay up there. he said he didn't know.
