There should be a run here

What happened to speed work day?

Unfortunately events conspired against me. I woke up with the intention of running locally. The weather looked fine, I could get some km's in before work. But something wasn't right. I had one of those mornings where you stand in the bathroom staring into the distance for what seemed like 5 minutes. No idea what came over me, might have just been the body trying to top up on sleep. I couldn't shake the ponderous apathy so instead put my running kit into a bag and made plans with a colleague for a lunchtime run instead.
I then walked into a busy work day. Thursday seems to be a day of meetings & with that side meetings etc. People wanted my time so we missed our target of 1200 for a run. My colleague then had to deal with an escalation so we aimed hopefully at 1300. This time came and went and we agreed the run wasn't going to happen.
It was at this point I tried to organise myself into an evening run. Paula has just entered the Movember 10k so I suggested a gentle evening run to ease her back. I even left work early with the intention to run. I then made the mistake of hitting the sofa, a key failure! My enthusiasm for evening runs is never high, low energy levels and all the traffic just don't work for me. By this stage I also had a stinging shoulder pain, something that running was unlikely to relieve.
With this in mind we opted for two yoga sessions. So the run never happened, but at least it was replaced rather than ignored. The beauty of being flexible with my current plan is that I'm not going to chase the lost kilometres, I'll just put in more effort next time the motivation is there.
