Day 3,886 —More Steps Taken—

 

It was much colder in the wind, and I felt like I made the right decision by wearing a long-sleeve shirt and leggings. I knew it would likely feel too warm during this run, but as the run started, I was cold. I also decided not to listen to anything today, so I was cold and with nothing else to focus on.

It was not as difficult to get up today as it was yesterday, but it was close. Perseus woke me up so many times, and I kept asking him for a few more minutes. For a moment, it would look like he was agreeing, but then he would claw at my face or my hands.

I was up almost exactly 15 minutes late, and that 15 minutes turned into a shorter run, and arriving at work a little later.

But I ran with my vest on today, and it was feeling like a tiny struggle. I wondered how many days in a row I could wear my vest, and then I thought about how much weight I could carry in my regular vest instead of buying another weighted vest I could put more weight in my regular running vest. What does water weigh? That’s the other thing about carrying stuff it is easier to do with stuff that is neat and organized but when things are loose or can move it makes it so much more difficult. I could just start carrying water in my other vest as opposed to buying another weighted vest.
