MLK make up day

Run #4.  I missed my Sunday run.  Perhaps it was the distraction of the Arizona 1/2 marathon taking place three times zones away.  No matter - it's gone.  So then I missed the Monday run.  Perhaps it was the holiday that is not celebrated in Canada and may or may not be celebrated in the state of my birth.  But this run is not gone.  (The problem with you people who run everyday is you can't make up the runs you miss.  No problem here.)

So - today was the Monday run.  Short and fast - for 2 reasons: 1) All of my previous race prep involved running slowly for slightly longer distances.  And then I am surprised when I run slowly during the race.  And 2) It is #*$& cold.  I broke up with my last gym and haven't quite made it to my new rebound gym that I met on the internet (groupon - looks like a short term relationship), so it's all outdoors right now.  Not good.

Positive from today - unlike my first try at short and fast, this run did not end in dry heaves.  Negative - I'm not happy with the playlist I started for Montreal.
