Surprisingly, yesterday's run did not leave me sore AT all. Considering how much of myself I left while running, I was surprised. It did make me very very hungry though - its a good thing. Losing my appetite is *the* worst thing that can happen to me! I have polished off my entire stash of NY malt balls, peanut butter m and m's (the huge red baggy you get in bulk), peanut butter cups (*sigh*) and reese's - these I mixed in ice cream and sprinkled with some trail mix - hey, nuts are good for you! Anyway, I've digressed - AGAIN!!
Anyway, its 2 weeks to the half that I'm just running for fun and nothing more. and Having a run to look forward is a nice way to keep the habit going. I have a doc appointment for my knee on the 13th, I have donated blood last week and after the run I plan on 2 weeks off. My knee is not well at all and I would rather take some time off to heal, rather than being out of commission for months.
My star sign rang very true the past few days - not that I believe in these things of course - heehee. Some thoughts...Why is it that opportunities present themselves to you when you are 99% sure you are following another path? The dark mood of the monsoon (mmm, its been raining the past 2 days - and it has been gross - rain or no rain) reflects me well right now, but as some of you know, that is what I like.
It has been a reflective past couple of days - it feels like the first anniversary of my life. My life began for the second time on August 7th of last year. I rank my life in 2 phases - pre. Aug 7th and post. I developed a newer identity last year that has remained with me. Much to the chagrin of people who knew me prior to that, it will continue to remain with me. I have changed - I am not as brave in my soul as I used to be.
Anyway, just feel like floating along this sunday. I should do something - but then think better of it and decide not to.
25 laps in the pool
60 or so (have not logged this in yet) of stairs.
