Blah day

Do you ever wake up in the morning for a long run and just don't feel like leaving the bed? I definitely had one of those morning on Saturday. I knew that I should go on a long run and that it would feel fantastic, but I chose an extra hour in the bed.

It seemed like a good idea at the time until the day turned into this:

Good bye running in shorts. 

Today, when my alarm rang bright and early (9AM) for me to go on my long run, my body said, "oh, hells no," and refused to budge. There's something about snow days that turn me into a non productive zombie. I just want to go outside and play or snuggle into my blankets. Despite wanting to wear my new hat on the run, I chose to stay in bed longer.

Yes, I am wearing a hat that looks like a giraffe with a reindeer;s antlers and nose. 

As I lay in bed, I knew what lay outside waiting for me  . . . fun (Not!), unshoveled sidewalks. For some reason, the my school thinks that college students don't need shoveled walkways. Case in point:

Main road into campus. I did not want to be running in all the snow. 

Long story short, I knew that I wanted to go run. I also knew that I would feel fantastic after my ten miles. But despite all the facts backing up a decision to go run, I didn't go. Instead, I chose to have a blah day without running. To top it all off, or maybe because of the no run thing, I also felt sort of fat for the rest of the day, which didn't stop me from having a red velvet cupcake that my group member made for us.

Red velvet, definitely my favorite. 

The weekend wasn't all blah though. It had some awesome parts. The bf and I went out for a nice Valentine's Day dinner. I finally solidified my spring break plans (flying back to visit home in Cali!). But there were definitely huge chunks of blahness, largely due to no running. 

I'm sure we looked very cool taking self portraits of ourselves while waiting for a table. 

I hope you guys had better luck with running during the weekend than I did. Do you guys sometimes feel like I felt? How do you combat blah days?
