Not a Shorts Day
You know those mornings when you have just enough time to do something? Well, that's just fine by me because something is what keeps me sane. I need my sweat and I'm fine with that.
Getting in 20-30 minutes of yoga, running or strength in the morning starts my day off right and allows me to okay if I miss my workout later in the day.
Well, this morning, with just 20 minutes or so to spare before getting ready for work, I busted out for a run in shorts.
BRRR! Today was NOT a shorts day, but I survived. I think it was in the low 40's? What's normally a slow going warm up mile was an 8:03 pace thanks to the cold air nipping at my legs.
The last mile or so was done with Jonah Bell. She likes to run, but can't run steadily for 30 minutes anymore like she used to.
And just like that, I got a little run done. If I find a spare half hour later in the day, I'll be tempted to do a few more miles, but 3.5 mi is enough to keep me happy.
Okay, off to work for a few hours before my long weekend begins. Happy Thursday!

I like your philosophy of fitting something, anything in in the mornings for 20-30 minutes actually. I think I would be more successful with strength training if I looked at it that way...
