So, as winter gets closer and closer, it become harder and harder to get in my run before nightfall. I want to keep running outside so my body can get used to running in the cold and the small changes in elevation that I'm sure will happen in the race, but if I can barely get home before dark, how am I supposed to run before dark?
So, yesterday was pretty tough. I wasn't in the running mood, and I knew that if I didn't go right after I got home from work, it would be too dark to go at all, so I had no down time. The 2.5 minute run was pretty tough as well. As I work and work and work at this, I wonder how the heck I managed to do the 5k this summer. I've already done a 3 mile obstacle course! Why starting over like this so hard??
All I know is it's kicking my butt, hopefully right in to shape! I just have to keep myself motivated through these times right now when it's really hard... I know I can do it!
Yesterday at Kohls I raided the clearance rack in the athletic wear section and made off with a blindingly bright orange running shirt...so I figure if I do run in the dusk hours I'll still be visible.
