As I was talking myself out of running, I was thinking about what Joe Rubio says; “Make your hard days hard and your easy days easy.” Since yesterday was hard and tomorrow will be hard, I shouldn’t beat myself up too much about missing this run. It does reinforce that I need to get up early (even on Wednesdays) and get as much of my running in before work as possible.
Believe it or not I dusted off my heart rate monitor for my easy run today. I was curious to see how fast I could run and still keep my HR under 145. I’ll have to check my old log books but I think I used to run around 8:30-8:40 pace while at 145 bpm. Today I got down to 8:06 pace, so that’s promising.

Interesting quote, but most of those top athletes get naps too ;)
Don't kick yourself over the extra 5.
Good point - and they're still tired.
I won't kick myself - too much.
