okay getting out at 12:30 during the day has got to be the hardest time for me!! I am at that point when I could totally talk myself out of a run...wishing I had gotten up at 530am before marathon shopping and it would have been done with. But I didn't do that so I paid the price of running tired and in the cold no sun in the sky day. See I awoke at 7am got bills paid and the kids off to school with us as the carpool. Then Troy and I promptly drove to Walmart for our Double coupon and Price match marathon Tuesday (we do this every other Tuesday when I am off). We got done in a Marathon World Record time of 2:05!!! seriously it has taken us as long as 3:30!!! We are getting the system done I guess and we had a fast checker. That makes a lot of difference. Well it didn't stop there. After unpacking and putting away all the groceries (over 350 dollars worth for 182 dollars) I FINALLY took it some kCals. I had forgotten to eat breakfast in our rush out the door and was surprisingly not hungry until we were almost home. I ate some wholegrain cereal, small banana and three pieces of turkey bacon (sure felt that on my run). THEN we drove to Costco and finished up our shopping. Went to the Dollar Store for whipped cream but they were out. So came back and was near 1230!!! Geez. I just didn't feel in the mood and my stomach was off kilter due to eating a late breakfast and eating some handouts from Costco-- not so healthy ones. I just headed for the Hills, Cedar Hills that is and got on the Canal and headed south for 3 miles then turned back and went down 1100 north back to my house. Pace hidden. Time mode as usual so I ended where I thought I was at near 8 min miles. I ended up at 7:34 pace for 8.49 miles. I was doing better than I thought. :D. Shower time. Oh yah, wore shorts and short sleeves with a headband and gloves and compression socks. Thighs were red. It was a bit nippy without the sun.
