I've noticed I've been making decisions while in bed again! I've just been falling into the habit recently. This morning I had my alarm set for 5 but I woke up at 4:50. I decided I was NOT running and I was sleeping in till 6....probably 7. And then I thought "I thought you broke this habit of deciding things while in bed 6 months ago!" My decisions at that time are about as good for me as George W's were for the country! Anyway, I decided to get up!
And I did run today....a lot! I did a 6 mile run! I was contemplating it this morning, but it is hard to know how I'll feel after time off and such. But I did it and my time was really good, I think. My time was 1:1:51. Obviously off my 3 mile time, but I'm totally OK with that!
Based on my long run this morning, I did not do hills. But I'm going to put together a more intensive training schedule, I think. This felt good.

Wow! Good for you! And I agree about making decisions in the morning while lying in bed. I can't do it either or, for sure, I will decide to just stay there! Better to just hit the alarm button and get moving.
No exercise for me this morning. Too cold to go for a bike ride (32 at 7 am). Got on the treadmill and started to run at 5.5 mph but quit at 4 minutes. Could feel it in my right foot with every step. Very discouraging.
So, I think it's very doubtful that I'm going to run in the Osceola 5K which is only 2 weeks from today. I just won't be ready to do it even if the foot is better by then. Also very discouraging.
But you! 6 miles! Wow!
Well, that stinks. I'm sorry to hear it. I sure hope you see an upswing soon.
I know what you mean about being concerned about your level of training for the 5k. I sure hope it works out.
