I don't wanna!

I have finally hit it....the proverbial Brick Wall!!! I don't want to go to the gym today. It is too stinkin' hot outside and I don't even want to get in my car. I feel like a whiny baby who doesn't want to do anything. I don't want to get on the tread mill because I'm bored with it, but I will die if I have to run outside. I took that on yesterday.
After the hubby and I had lunch I ran home from the restaurant. It was about 5.5 miles from the house, but it was lunch time ( the hottest part of the day. ) No Shade. All Sun! I brought water with me, but it just wasn't enough. All the ice melted by mile 3, then the water was just getting warmer and warm water doesn't quench thirst. I told hubby to come find me on a specific route if I wasn't home in an hour. I was hoping he would start his search party early because I was DYING of heat exhaustion, but my hubby and his punctual self, came up the street exactly 1 hour into my Nike+ timed run. However, by this time I was almost home so I finished in 1:07:00. It was way too hot! and I won't be doing that again for a long time...it was just stupid. Not even the boring tred mill can get me to do that again.
I'm still not in the mood to run right now, but the schedule for the rest of the day doesn't warrant any other time to run. I just have to buck up and do it. I'm sure there are days olympic athletes don't want to train, but they still get up for their all day work- outs. The least I can do is get to the gym. I have to get at least 6 miles before I sleep.


Update: I only did 3 miles
