A little piece of heaven

Monday, January 04, 2010 – 306 days to M day. Cold and dark so off to the hotel treadmill I went. Wow, I jogged for 90 minutes tonight, slow as Pretty Boy Floyd (my box turtle) but I did it. I jogged for 60 minutes, walked for 2 minutes, jogged for 10 minutes, walked for 2 minutes until I got to 90. Then I cooled down for 5 minutes. I’m picking up stamina before I try to pick up speed. I’m trying to follow Grete Waitz’s training advice. Yes, the airport was exhausting. It was closed last night because of a possible security breach so flights were cancelled; it was mayhem this morning. My flight was delayed for 2.5 hours. I belong to the airline club so I was comfy while waiting. There is nothing worse than being with the ‘regular’ people waiting for a delayed flight. (Don’t forget I’m a road warrior so this is my piece of comfort.) Luckily, I’m staying at a hotel with dual shower heads. After my run those dual shower heads were a little piece of heaven! I order room service and the day ends on a positive note.
I almost have the perfect playlist but I can’t tell what songs because they are not motivational at all. Maybe at a later date I’ll start giving it up, not yet.
