I'm so weak
Ok, so I broke down this morning. I woke up this morning with such a strong itch to go run and free time. I had to do it. Five consecutive days off is close to a week, right? Please help me with this one.
Last night involved eating dinner late because my brother's train didn't get in until later on in the evening and decorating the house. We had to take the tree out of the attic, my brother and I have such bad allergies that we would all be miserable with a real tree. We had to put it together and then decorate it. This year we decided that some of the really bad ornaments didn't have to be put up, since there are a lot on the tree anyhow. We put out some of the other knick-knacks and put the regular pictures, etc... out of sight for the next few weeks.
I woke up this morning and just had to run. My body was craving it. It was kind of misty for most of the run and the temperature was around 50, pretty dreary in general. My body felt really strange. Some spots were really tight from so much cross-training this week. Generally, it was a pretty easy effort. I didn't wear a watch and just tried to stay relaxed. The last three of four minutes were in a steady rain. The tight spots worked themselves out after a hot shower. I wish that I had worn gloves because my hands were swollen and cold, the hot water in the shower really hurt them.
This afternoon my friend S and I went shopping. It was supposed to be retail therapy. Her work holiday party was last night and she was feeling unmotivated to do anything, so she was happy to hear that I wanted to do some shopping. I had planned to buy for my parents, but I did lots of Christmas shopping for me. If I can't find something for someone on my list, I usually buy for myself since I feel like I should be buying.
We're still not sure if we're doing cookie baking tomorrow or not. My plan is to get out for an early, short run and then knock on their door to see if they're still interested. Tomorrow I must call the guy who I met last weekend. He probably thinks that I'm totally uninterested, but I have been busy and that is not a lie. I have to give him at least a chance to see if I want to pursue anything or not. Well, I think that S and I may be going out again tonight. We both need to get out more...there is no way to meet someone if you just stay in all the time!
