Perfect Timing!
It was a dark and dreary day here today. All day. But it was dry at running time, so I got ready and brought along my rain gear (baggie) and hit the road. And it only started to sprinkle when I was just two blocks from home. On the way BACK that is! I counted myself very lucky. Especially because it did start raining harder.
It was a good run. About 5.4 miles. I can't remember exactly. But good. And my pace was better than yesterday, so that was happy.
I tried the butterfly situps today. I think I need something under the small of my back because I feel like I'm using it to launch myself up.
So I learned something about my scale today. I need to make sure it is at zero before I get on. I was absolutely flabbergasted at my weight this morning and actually just thought, "That's totally impossible! Totally!" And then I thought to check the starting weight. It was 4.3! No thanks. Doesn't mean that I am where I want to be but, sheesh, I really thought I should go to the doctor and get my thyroid checked or something!

PS - to spice things up, I put cinnamon in my oatmeal this morning. It was very sad! I know you love it, though, so I was copying you!
I love cinnamon in my oatmeal! And cinnamon is brain food you know!
I'll bet you never get on the scale again without checking it first! that would be a shock. Although yesterday I was down .6 and today I'm up 1.2 so go figure. Makes no sense at all.
I'm back to the usual here this morning and it felt like work today. Seemed harder than yesterday when I did the 5. Just 3 today so I don't get that either. I'm more tired today I guess.
Off to work.
I know you do! That's why I took the risk and tried it!
Yeah, I learned a scale life lesson. It's hard enough with the random ups and downs.
I do think it is harder the day after a long run. It makes sense that your body is a bit worn.
Say, how did you get yourself to run that long? Did you visualize?
To answer you question: I don't know. I just kept going.
Willpower!
