Off the Wagon

Time is approximate but pretty close. I didn't go out to set any records, just wanted to actually get back on my feet. I seem to have fallen off the "running wagon" and have become drunk with sleeping. That's the best way I can explain it. Almost like a deep depression where you can't get out of bed but without feeling sad.

The run was fairly simple and short. I wasn't really out to set any records but I did feel pretty good about it on the way back. Almost felt like my stride and body movements were coming to me naturally. Maybe it was because I wasn't thinking about it.

Photos:

Saw some horses along the way.


And a giant caterpillar.


Weather:
Temps were about 80F. Humidity was moderate. Sun was out in full. Slight breeze.

Fluids and Fuel:
Breakfast was blueberry muffins and iced coffee. During the run I had a bottle of plain water. No recovery since I went straight to the bike.

Aches and Pains:
Nothing really hurt, just lots of little aches and a general stiffness.

Gear:
No special gear but I did remember to use my Mission Skincare sunblock!

Experiment:
Took my new phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) out and put it in my cycle jersey pocket. Turns out it doesn't stay there. Thankfully I have it safely encased in an Otter Box case and it survived the fall to the pavement. Since it wouldn't stay in my shirt, I stuffed it in the back of my shorts. It stayed there pretty well until the return trip when it started to creep down my ass cheek.

Splits:
I'm not gonna bother with them.
Finish - 29:00

I so know about drunk with sleeping. I've slept my days away many a times. Good that you got out and ran. Hope the sadness goes away.
