The Courage to Go Run

Today is an 8 miler. It's currently dumping snow and I'm at work, so there is no option to run indoors unless I go after work. This morning I promised myself I could go to bed super early tonight so running 8 miles after work probably won't happen. I googled "running inspiration".

I had to laugh at this one: "If you went running when you first started thinking about it, you'd be back right now." Yes I would. But it was 26 degrees when I first started thinking about it. Now it's a whopping 32, but dumping snow.

"There will be a day when I can no longer run. Today is not that day." Inspiring, yes. Is it getting me out the door? No.

Here's the thing. It's dumping snow. I'm at work. My options are to drive to a flat deserted road and run 8 miles, or head out the road going up the mountain behind the station and run 8 miles. Either one gets me in a deserted area in cold weather, snow and possible mountain lions. Did I mention it's dumping snow? It looks almost like a blizzard out there.

This is not going well...maybe it'll let up in a couple hours.

To be continued...
