Are you kidding me???

I haven't posted for a while because I haven't had anything to post about! Yes, it's true, I have NOT ran once since my long run on Saturday! I also didn't go to my strength training class on Monday or today. It was actually in my plan to take a recovery period for a few days, but this is ridiculous! I planned to rest on Sunday and Monday and then do some easy cross training the rest of the week. I got the rest in, but the cross training still hasn't happened. It was really cold on Tuesday, and the wind was very icy, but that is no excuse really. If I am properly dressed, it's not a problem. I don't own a treadmill and I think I would have an easier time making sure it happened if I did. What? A runner without a treadmill? Yes, it's true. I asked for one for Christmas a couple of years ago before I had started running, but since Dave thinks treadmills are only expensive devices made to store clothes on, it wasn't under the tree. I think I have convinced him by now that I would use it, but I really enjoy running outside so much, that it hasn't been an issue. Well, at least not until this week for some reason. Maybe I am just getting sick of the cold. I think I got spoiled by the couple of days we had in the high 60's and when it's back down in the 30's the next day, I just do not have any desire to bundle up and go out in it. I think I have thrown in my gloves for the winter. Or it may simply be the fact that I still haven't fully recovered from my long run on Saturday. Or maybe time just got away from me. Who knows? Hopefully it has done my body some good and I haven't lost anything from my slackfulness. I am planning on heading out first thing in the morning, no matter what the weather. I can't run on Friday morning because I have to be somewhere real early, but at least tomorrow I can hopefully get in a good run.
