Sounds simple, doesn’t it? And yet, somehow, it’s not. Unfortunately, at the moment, my desire to run is struggling to overcome irritating little obstacles like illness and injury. So please pardon my whining. I try not to, but occasionally, I just have to get out all my frustrations . . .
Since November, I’ve battled colds, the Flu, and a nasty stomach virus that kept me in the bathroom for 6 hours straight (overnight, of course) – all of which were shared among my entire family. And when I wasn’t actually sick, I was up all night with someone who was. I packed on 8 pounds of blubber and severely injured my back shoveling wet, heavy snow (I hit an ice patch). Now, I’m dealing with a broken nose with a deviated septum. I got the OK to run again and I’ve been taking it easy, but this morning’s run just made me want to scream because I was tired, slow, and my nose started to bleed a bit.
I have to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. I think if I didn’t laugh, I’d cry.
Sigh. Ok. I’m done.
Maybe now I can start fresh again.
I just wanna run.
That’s all.
That’s it.
Run.
Tomorrow looks good . . .
