No Excuses

So today I had EVERY excuse in the book lined up for not going out and getting in my workout.

  1. I went to bed late.
  2. I got up late and the Good Lord knows, I hate running in daylight when people can see me.
  3. I could run at the park (there aren't a lot of people there), but my truck has no gas.
  4. I've gassed up my truck, but I saw a wee bit of lightning.
  5. Okay, so the lightning has passed, but it's still raining.
  6. It's actually only drizzling by the time I get to the park, but I forgot my water bottle and the collar for my dog.
  7. I could use the park fountains to drink from and the leash as a collar, but this woman just walked up to me and said she received a phone call from her sister and a HUGE cell of bad weather was coming right at us.

"Thank you for letting me know," I told her, "but I have to get in my run."

Whoa, did those words actually come out of my mouth?  Why yes.  Yes they did.

So I finished my workout as such:

Weather:  Drizzling Rain
Miles Run:  I have no idea
Minutes Run:  24
Location:  TY Park in Hollywood, FL
Thoughts:  I'm pretty proud of myself for not giving in to the temptation of finding an excuse not to finish.

Miles Walked:  I have no idea
Minutes Walked:  15
Location:  TY Park in Hollywood, FL
Thoughts:  Walk included warmup and cool down as well as rest breaks between my runs.
