Today was not yesterday
Not knowing what happened I couldn't bring myself to run 5 miles yesterday. Reasons are unclear, maybe the food I ate for lunch or the loss of my mental focus this week.
Apparently anger and ignorance were on my side this morning as apparently I pulled off a 6.2 miler at an 8:15 pace (15 - 30 seconds faster than I would normally do that distance at). My coach was confused by my claimed focus issues considering my time. While she was figuring that out my lungs were rediscovering oxygen and my body was trying to un-numb itself.
As a side note. When the temp is in the lower 40's and the wind is blowing there comes a point where you can't feel your hands anymore. When reaching for the water bottle at my back it decided on an age old conversation:
Brain: "What the hell is that?"
Me: "Water bottle."
Brain: "Maybe its a dog?"
Me: "I don't own a dog."
Brain: "Are you sure?"
Me: "Why the fuck are we arguing over this!"

Trust me there is always room for one more.
