Ever have a morning like this, where your brain and your body can't agree on whether to run? Yes, I know that the brain controls it all, but...go with me here, folks.
Act 1, Scene 1
Place: my cozy warm bed
Time: 5AM
Alarm: "...and it's a chilly 10 degrees out at 5AM..."
Brain: "Whoohoo! We get to head out for another run. Sunday's pace was 9:22/mi, and with today's distance we can target a pace of..."
Body: "SHUT UP."
Body hits snooze button
Brain: "But...but...you hit the snooze! That will set us back 9 minutes, which--adding up a 30 minute run, 10 minutes for breakfast, and 15 minutes for a shower, gives us an at-work ETA of...
Body: "SHUT UP. ZZZZZZZZ..."
Act 1, Scene 2
9 minutes later...
Brain: "Dude, let's go!!!"
Body: "Alright, but would you SHUT IT for like 10 minutes???"
Brain: "This will be fun...trust me."
Body: "Coffee. Give me coffee NOW, and no one gets hurt."
Act 1, Scene 3
Place: Indoor track
Time: 35 minutes later...
Brain: "See, wasn't that fun?"
Body (reluctantly): "Yeah, OK, I guess so, maybe..."
Brain: "So tomorrow, we can..."
Body: "Don't push it...."

Thanks for stopping by my blog and the comments on the shoes. I promise not to be too cheap. Guess I'll shake my husband down for a few extra coins, which won't be too hard since he always tells me to get good shoes. It's just that ,heretofore, I've never taken shoes seriously. I enjoyed tripping around your several blogs...(hope your kitty recovers quickly) and will mark you running one among my favs.
Hey, Lelani, good for you on the "good shoes" decision--you won't regret it. And I'll add you to my blog list also! Oh, and my kitty is just fine, thanks for askin'. (C;

Hey Jim,
I had one of those moments this morning, and actually wrote about it on my blog this morning. My mind won out and I went for my 10k run in the sleet and rain!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and listing my blog link on your page. I will do the same for you over the next day or two when I get a chance to decide how and where I am going to list other blog links.
I like your more link on your posts, I was just thinking the other day on how or if I would go about doing that. Does it show up fine in your feed?
Thanks again for stopping by and adding me!
Tim
Hey Tim:
Yeah it seems like we all get tripped up now and again with that "I don't want to get out of bed!!!" feeling.
RE: the "read more" link thing--send me an email offline, I'll show you where I got it. One of the comments on this post is from Sue, a blogger pal who writes at La Chanson de Phoenix, and she showed me where to grab the hack. (C:

Thanks Jim!
Did you get my e-mail? I just wanted to make sure it didn't go into the spam.
