Why you don't take time off

So I hadn't run since the 8th of June because I was out of town playing golf in Chicago. That meant lots of golf, but not a lot of sleep, which meant no running. So this morning was certainly a harsh wakeup call when the alarm sounded at 5AM for my 0-6 miles. Definitely not an enjoyable experience and something I don't plan on doing again although there will be some unforeseen reasons why I can't run, but that's different. It was certainly good to start running again and I'll have plenty of runs by the time Saturday rolls around and I run a 10K race on Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Should be some good fun!

Goal: 0-6 miles

Actual: 3.96 miles in 32:59 (8:15/mile pace)

Weather: 71 degrees, partly cloudy, winds out of the north at 5 mph
