Planned on running today, planned on this finally being the first week of this marathon training cycle where I’d get all the runs done and all the runs done on the day they were scheduled for, but I also knew it was going to snow like three inches overnight, so when the alarm went off this morning I was like, naw, I’ll just push it off to tomorrow, and I snoozed for another hour, and then when I got up and checked the phone, I confirmed yup must be nasty outside, the school’s closed for the kids, and then I looked outside and didn’t see so much as a flake of snow on the ground, and I was like well this is weird and lame and I totally could have gotten up to run this morning, and then I got ready for work and I stepped out the door and as soon as my foot hit the first step on the way down to the driveway WOOMPH WOOMPH WOOMPH all the way down to the ground and now my elbow hurts and my side hurts and my pride hurts and I guess I’m really glad I didn’t actually try to run this morning after all.

So now I’m wondering if I can actually get through the entire marathon training cycle with zero weeks going exactly according to schedule? How many completely inconsistent weeks can I complete in a row? H’mm.
