ORN: Ran four, much-needed miles on work's crappy treadmill. I endured it for 41'12". Treadmills suck -- yada, yada, yada. But I am so glad to run. This week has sucked balls.
Louisville got its butt kicked by a big ice storm this week, and I haven't run a step until today. On Woden's Day, I planned on running four miles, and on Thor's Day, I planned on another four. But the gods had other plans. Several inches of snow and ice entombed the area when we awoke Wednesday morning, and the roads were crappy for a day and a half. We were among the more than 400,000 customers without electricity, so I've had other priorities besides keeping my running commitments. Things like digging out our cars, keeping our pipes from bursting, and packing up clothes and other essentials have all trumped running. I may chalk this week up as my planned "recovery week," scheduled for next week, and do it over next week. Who knows.
BTW, I am going to count the hours spent moving tree limbs and hacking away at ice and snow to extract our cars as "cross training." See? I wasn't totally idle.
I haven't run a lick since Monday. I feel pretty crappy about it, especially since I was coming off of a taper week. I think I'm going to have to just chalk it up as a loss and move on.
ReplyDeleteI finally got my power back, I hope you did too!
