At 11PM tonight, I completed W2D2. I didn't go as far as I typically do, only 2.25 miles, but it still beats sitting on the couch all night. The main issue tonight was that I just didn't have as much energy as I've had the other four days. I was up at 745 this morning to go looking at houses with my wife. At 1, I went to work and didn't get home until about 945. I watched the Heat game until halftime and decided, at about 1030, to go out.
Considering the time, I expected a fairly uneventful workout; didn't think I'd see much other than a car here or there. I ended up being passed by 5 cars but the thing that impressed me the most happened in the middle of my warmup walk. Heading toward me, going in the opposite direction, was a man that had to be in his 70's walking along with a cane. I was surprised to see anyone else out there since we live in such a quiet development but I certainly didn't think I'd see anyone over 40. Then, about 1.5 miles in, I pass the guy again as he's walking into his neighborhood. That old man deserves some recognition for walking 2 miles, with a cane no less, at his age simply for exercise.
Anywho, the run went well and I'm anxious, as usual, for the next workout. I've now done just about 12 miles since I started and I'm finally beginning to feel like I'm making progress. Seven weeks and one day to go.
