This week was only a two-star week, meaning that I didn't meet my running goal of 3 runs. Bummer. I basically sabotaged myself by staying up way too late one night reading, which then threw the rest of the week off and sent me scrambling to play catch up with just about everything. It was a very good book, but I didn't need to read it all in one go. What are the odds that after 25 or so years of doing this that I will eventually break myself of this bad habit? I am a book addict in the worst way.But I've gotten off topic. Even though I only ran twice this week, considering that it was in danger of becomming a one-run week, I'm not too unhappy with myself. Last night, I got myself home from work, threw on my running clothes and shoes, and got out there without thinking. Yay! And this next week is an Easy Recovery Week on my schedule, so maybe I'll be able to make up my lost run.
After I got back, I plotted the route I ran (not down by the canal, since it was dark) on Gmaps Pedometer, and it turns out that it was almost exactly 5 kilometers! So now, when I get to the point in a month or so where I can actually run-run (as opposed to run-walk) for a full 5 kilometers, I have a route that I can use to time myself. That's kind of fun.
Go Mary, Christina, and CMS! Go Team CB!

Yay Theresa! Excellent progress.
Go Team CB!
Yay Theresa!! The way I look at it, any time you beat the Inner Slug, you win. Even if it's less often than you'd hope. Slugs are a lot more tenacious than you'd think. And sneaky, not to mention slimey. So Yay! you.
I'm impressed. I know you didn't do as much as you wanted to, but you're running at a good clip already!
And heck, there are worse addictions than book addictions!
I bet you'll be getting yourself back on track soon enough, which I think is the most important part in taming stubborn slugs.
