Today is the first day that I'm getting my post out after midnight. I gave myself the grace for this to happen a few weeks ago1. There was no special reason why I was later than usual today, simply being distracted by other things I've been doing over the weekend and losing track of time.
I may have felt bad about it were it a normal day, but I got so much done today that it's not bothering me. I was productive from practially the moment I woke up until the afternoon. I hadn't realize how many chores and how much shopping I had built up that needed to be done over the weekend.
One of those tasks was to get an extra pair of running shorts. I only had one pair before, and I've had it for a few years, so it might be getting old. With a race coming up next weekend, I didn't want to risk my only pair getting a hole in them before the race.
The race is in less than a week! Three more training runs to do in the meantime, and an extra full day of rest compared to the other weeks in the plan. The weather has finally gotten a bit cooler today, so I have hope for next weekend.
