I did not want to go running today! I have no idea why, I just wanted a nap. It may have been because I didn't have a good lunch and had no energy. Maybe it was because I didn't have my normal 20 oz coffee this morning. I was running late and didn't have time to sit in line at the coffee shack. Maybe it was because all my running shirts and pants were in the wash. It wasn't that they were in the dirty clothes basket. I have no problem wearing stinky clothes out running. They were in the washing machine still wet from being washed last night. It is still a bit cold to be refreshed from wearing wet clothes while running. Maybe it was because my knee has hurt a bit and I didn't want it to hurt more. Any one of these reasons is enough to keep me inside. All of them together could only be overcome by the combination of the excitement of listening to the iPod and the joy of blogging to you afterward. I fear these rewards will soon become ineffective. I am still trying to identify the characteristics of a good running song for my ipod list... but back to the running. So I started out slow, not on purpose, it was as fast as I could go. I then tried to go a bit faster once I was warmed up and didn't detest my situation.

I am off to Seattle on Saturday, until Tuesday. I don't know what I will do for my 70 minute run. Maybe there is a exercise room in the hotel.
