Lately I've been slacking on my runs. I'll either skip a day or not run as fast as I should. This may be due to the fact that I got back from vacation about a week ago. That messed up my routine and it's a little hard to get back into the normal flow of things. Also, the semester just ended & I've been trying to get my runs in early instead of in the late afternoon or early evening. It's starting to get too hot to run in the afternoons, but it's hard for me to wake up at 5 or 5:30 if I don't really have to. I can get up that early if I have a morning class, but I can always run later in the day if I want to. The warm and cozy bed just is too hard to get out of to go out on the hard, cold road.
Since I am in training for a goal race, I have made a new rule for myself during this rut. I'm not going to skip another workout before the 10K in June. After that I'll just be running three days a week and I'll start doing some other workouts like yoga, pilates, and some other fun classes that are offered at my gym. They say that varying your workouts will help get you out of the rut, but I can't give up on this training when my goal of a 45 m 10K is in sight. Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon.
Here's a pic of the boring Horseshoe Bend medal. I told you it was no Prairie Dog Runs medal.

T: 5.54 mi (tempo), 50:00
W: 5.75 mi (1 mi warm up, 10x400 repeats, 1 mi cooldown), repeat times: 90.51, 91.75, 90.07, 89.49, 89.00, 92.25, 95.39, 93.01, 94.39, 90.75
Th: 3 mi (easy), 25:11.11

So if I know you... and I know I do... you counted your "running's" in the quote up top to make sure you had it accurate! Haha. I was singing it in my head laughing.
well, I don't know that song but I tend to agree with Nicole. The medal ain't that bad, Skylar's and Shelby's medals are definitely worse, though I don't think that they know it, they have two figures running in 3/4 profile like yours, but that's it, no details or unique motifs, etc . . .
