Snooze...

 

My run this morning started off a little weak. When the alarmed went off at 6:30am, I hit snooze so fast I’m not sure if I fully understood what I was doing. Around 7am I finally crawled out of my cozy bed with my blanket Grover still wrapped around my shoulders. I place my running clothes on the side of my bed so when I swing my legs around I can’t help but land on my running clothes.

As I limped along to the bathroom (remember haven’t ran in a while every single muscle in both of my legs are sore) I sigh and grab my teal toothbrush. Slowly waking up, I put my contacts in and throw my brown hair up in a ponytail.

I opened the door and felt a cool breeze hit my face; I poked my head out and saw it was drizzling outside. Now notice my language for rain, I am from Washington I have many names for rain. Drizzle, misting, scattered showers, etc. Since it was drizzling and cool I threw on my black fleece Columbia jacket and headed out the door. My husband pulled on his hood from his jacket and locked the door behind us.

As we got further into our run it got more and more wet and by the middle of the run right about when I hit the hill it started to pour! This hill I want to conquer someday, but today was not the day. The raindrops hit my face harder and harder as we ran, soon my fleece felt heavy and my ponytail was snarled into one big dark brown whip.

I don’t think I fully warmed up the rest of the day. So this evening I am drinking some English black tea and had to turn on the heat. I still felt a chill so I put my big green fuzzy socks on and then slipped my feet into my monkey slippers. They don’t quite fit so well, but it will do.
