I don't feel like a failure!

So this morning I woke up to my "run" alarm and went for my run outside.  It felt great!  Well, sort of.  

I chose to run on my road rather than the main road, and as I was driving to work (on the main road) this morning, I realized the run would probably have been easier.  My road was snow covered in places where people clean their driveways by pushing snow across the road, whereas the main road was mostly tar.  Something to keep in mind for tomorrow morning.

For some reason I get a queasy stomach before I go for a run, even when it's at 5 AM. In the dark.  Alone.  Maybe that's why.

Well, for running outside for the first time in over 2 weeks, it was a good run.  The wind is always strongest when I pass the fields because they're on a hill and the wind just rushes down toward the road.  But once I get to trees and flatter land it's not so bad.  It's usually windy at the start of my run when I'm on my road, but rarely windy on my way back.  Which is really nice.

So here's my Strava run report for this morning.  It was 25ºF, which was a nice temperature with 2 layers, my warm compression pants, and a Turtle Fur headband. 

If I run tomorrow morning on the main road, it will be a longer run, and probably even a faster run, too.  The  only thing is that at the start of my run on the main road, it's a slight decline, so that means it's a slight incline all the way back.  Oh well, I'll live.
