Above are the flavors I could choose from. Yet again, Vanilla sounded the best.
As for running, no motivation to go do it, so choosing to sleep instead... and since I have zero races or running goals to get ready for, it's easy to stay in bed and enjoy it. I
f you would have asked me a couple of years ago about running a marathon under three hours, I would have told you it was a ludicrous idea. A select few friends I run with know that it was truly an "end of the road" type of goal, and now there simply isn't a fire burning inside of me to train even harder to shave a few more seconds or minutes. Sub 3 feels like it's truly enough for me.
Maybe I'll quit completely since at this time no goal is appetizin, not even the goal of getting out of bed before 7am. I kind of doubt i'll quit though, since I do enjoy the social aspect of the sport, but there are other sports out there to master too. Just not sure of which. The way I feel, I'd put my retirement from competitive road running at about a 30% chance these days.
Then there's the snake thing... Apparently, this is turning out to be the year of the snake on the trails, so that's not appetizing either. I think I'd be running more with Karma these days if it weren't for all the snake reports I keep hearing. The weather being hot and humid again doesn't bode well for eleven year old Karma either.
So there you go, those are the thoughts in my head as I lay in bed instead of running the roads of Austin. I guess the offseason plays mind games as much as tapering for a race does. Different thoughts certainly, but plenty of them nonetheless.
Maybe tomorrow will be a good day to run. I kind of doubt it.
