Since I'm home alone during the week (my boyfriend works out of town), I have a lot of time to think (for some reason, I still can't get my dog to talk to me). As you probably guessed, me thinking is a frightening thing. In my thoughts today:
- I love running outside, but I need an out-and-back path. If I miss my training group (like I did both nights this week due to pesky work), I run around my neighborhood (usually – see below for the exception). The problem: my neighborhood has a 2.5-mile loop. I hate getting back to the beginning and having to run past it. It's too easy to call it quits early. Even if I don't, I'm still bitter about running past the start and having to come back. Silly, I know, but I'm silly.
- I still hate the treadmill. After working late and missing my training group today, I felt like the treadmill was the safest option to run. This is because I forgot about the face-of-the-sun temperature of the craptastic condo gym. Running in this temperature with no fan is not safe. Even though I didn't like it, the run is done. And, in another three months, I'll forget how much I really hate the craptastic gym and treadmill and do it again.
- The only show I watch religiously each week is "Jersey Shore." This is sad and pathetic, and I'm embarrassed. But, at 10 p.m. EST, I was by my TV to watch.
At least you got your run in!! Well done! If you can figure out how to get your dog to speak, let me know. ;)
ReplyDeleteTreadmill picture cracked me up. I had the same face yesterday. I also have a difficult time running past my car/ house/ starting point so try to avoid it if possible otherwise long run becomes very short.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up, Jina! I'm glad you had a great time with your dad this week. Next time, come visit him in Kansas and swing this direction, too! :) PLEASE! We don't have spring training, but we have road races.
ReplyDeleteYes! We need to run a race together! Well, not exactly together ... you're much faster than my turtle self, so we could meet at the finish line.
