I'm totally becoming an expert at this!!

Time number two and I totally navigated my way to a new post seamlessly...
I'm such a quick study, I know.
Anyhoo....
I'm debating how much to run today. I've been soooo tired lately and have been really struggling to get my arse outside to run. I'm only averaging three days a week and I'd really rather be doing four. Two short runs, a medium, and one long. Instead I'm doing two mediums and one long, if not all medium runs. To add to this, normally I'd be in full soccer mode one/two days a week but it WON'T STOP RAINING. It's going to rain again this Sunday so this means no game. So my times are sucking. I'm averaging above 9:00 per mile. Usually I can do mid 8's if not high 7's. I also haven't been able to kick the 5ish pounds from the holidays. Most people don't notice it, but when you are petite and pack on a fiver... well let's just say it's really hard to button your $200 jeans.
So, back to my dilemma....I have to pick up the kiddos today. This means I do a long run around the work area and try to get the kids before 6. This is probably what I should do, but I really like running around the house. I can't stand the thought of people I work with seeing my sweating, struggling, breathing hard self. It's embarrassing because if someone does see me then I tend to get called out in front of everyone and I'm shy like that (well when it comes to co-workers I am). OR... I can try to fit 6 in after I get the kids cause there is a 6 mile loop near the house that I love.

I guess we'll see how the day progresses before I decide what to.

Now...to recap my last run. It was around work, two major hills, and the wind was awful. That said though, it really wasn't as awful as I thought considering. Here's the pic from my Nike+ graph.
