I am a poor predictor of my run performance.

Last night when I got home from work, I over relaxed. I sat down on the couch while chatting with Brian, and before I knew it, I was supine. Our house is very hot (we are waiting to hear back as to when the AC guy can come check out the problem), so it's easy to melt into slug mode when you walk in.

I didn't really want to run. I didn't even want to change clothes. I finally did, and got into the car. Thank the universe Brian wanted to go for a walk while we ran, because I didn't want to drive, either. We got to the park and I told Brian I might fall asleep in the car while we waited for Stephanie. I was basically Count Grogula.

As Stephanie and I started our warm-up walk around the track, I mentioned that I was super sleepy and kind of dreading running. Nonetheless, I am trying very hard to stick to my training plan, so I was gonna give it a shot, and when it was time to start running, I did...

... and the 41 minutes FLEW by! I had a great run! I even toyed with my form a little to see if I could eek out a little more speed, better momentum, etc.

I give up - I have no idea how to be a good enough swami to know if I'm going to have a good run or not.
But I'm awfully glad I had a good one last night. :)
