6.4 km

My lazy self desperately tried to convince me not to go running today. When the alarm clock rang she told me to go back to bed, but my wanna-be-a-runner self knew better and told me "you're already awake, just get up". So I did. Then my lazy self tried to stop me from running saying "it's cold outside" but my wanna-be-a-runner self said "take gloves", and I did. I wasn't really cold outside, and I didn't really need gloves, but I took them just to comfort myself. It was fun running in gloves though, I had to use my nose to change the volume on my ipod. Lucky thing no one was outside to see me. My lazy self tried to explain that I shouldn't run, that I've got a cold. My wanna-be-a-runner self quickly walked me over to the living room and gave me a tissue.

My wanna-be-a-runner self won the battle and I did go running. It was nice out, I got to watch it get light out. Usually my legs bother me during morning runs, but today it was my lungs (I actually do sort of have a cold), so I ran a little slower. 6.4 km in 45 minutes. That's ok.
I have to go to leave for school in 5 minutes tops, but my lazy self is trying to convince me to stay home. Luckily my wanna-be-a-chemist (who also goes by the name of goodie-two-shoes self) won't allow it. "Tomorrow is Friday" she says, "you can stay home tomorrow."
