No excuses! I ran yesterday and today. What a big difference in my runs.
Yesterday was a beautiful afternoon... I think I actually smiled while I was running... the weather was in the 60s, there was no wind and everyone was out on the trails running and walking their dogs. Bella was prancing as we ran and enjoying herself.

This morning was a much different scene. I set my alarm for 6:15 and got up at 7:15 (damn time change is still affecting my mornings). I looked outside and it looked like the skies would open up at any time. I checked the temp...a balmy 40 degrees. So I really want to do this... yes you do...no you don't....yes you do it is going to be pouring this evening when you get off work and then you won't be able to run at all. Ok, if I go now I can get a half hour run in... come on Miss Bella.... please let me put this harness on you.... no biting.... ok, finally out the door at 7:35 and off we go!
This is going to be great! We are going to get our workout in! 100 yards from my driveway the first drops start falling... they feel like more than a drop of water these are huge raindrops! Then it lets off as we enter the trail.... this run is going great! Oh fantastic love the fact the construction workers decide to use me as their morning entertainment as they finish their thermoses of coffee.... go to hell, I think politely ;) We reach our turnaround point and I think I will add a mile to our run and then the skies let loose and Bella turns back to look at me like.... "you really got me out of my warm bed to do this mom....seriously?" It makes for a rough run back... but we finish... not our finest run, but hey at least I got out there right?
