A Case of the Blahs
Today was one of those blah days. The blahs won out too. I think it's because it is Tuesday. Sometimes I think that Tuesdays are the hardest day of the week. On Monday, you just had the weekend. On Wednesday you keep thinking that after the day is done, the week is almost over. On Tuesday there just isn't much to look forward to, or to catch up on. At least this is how I felt all day today. It could also have to do with the sea of negativity surrounding me today at work as one of the miserable women was out yesterday and came back today.
My run definitely was suffering from the blahs. I try to do my mid-week longer run on Tuesday. I had planned to do my 10 mile loop this afternoon. I got out and my legs just felt, flat. Not really bad or heavy, just flat. The further I went, they started to feel more and more tired. I made the executive decision to abort the longer run and just do 8. I had already added on the first extra loop, so I decided to skip the second addition. This course really is closer to nine miles, but I call it my 8 mile course. Towards the end my ankle was feeling stiff. Since the swelling is gone and it doesn't hurt most of the time, I've been slacking about icing it. I also didn't take anything for it today. If I feel better tomorrow, I can do my longer run then.
Afterwards I went to the gym and rode the stationary bike for half an hour. I was ticked because there were no trashy magazines to read, so I was bored to death. I did a light lifting session and then went to the drugstore and bought some candy corn! Tonight I have to do a good core workout. When I was getting dressed this morning I noticed some of those awful love handles that I had gotten rid of by doing good core workouts. Lately I've been letting those workouts slip since school started again.

I think all gyms should have a subscription to US Weekly. Or at least People.
