It's Personal

"Don't take it personally."  P*Lease.  When someone says that, it's clearly personal.  My running is personal.  And I do take it personally.  Uughh.  I just keep trying.  I'm not any good at it, and I truly don't look forward to it.  But I keep doing it because I said I would.  And if I weren't running I'd be ballooning into a lazy, unfocused couch potato. 

I piddled around Forever tonight putting off my run.  I have had a super long week at work, was soo tired and hungry too.  Between my office door and the 100 yards to the trailhead, I managed to piddle for twenty minutes before I finally started my run with a roll of the eyes.  I ran 5 miles in 48 minutes.  My thighs felt like cinder blocks.  I think I need a lot more yoga in my life to stretch out my heavy legs and relax. 

Oooooh, I need to relax.  I absolutely cannot wait for this weekend.  (Except that whole 12-mile run thing.  Let's not talk about that.)  It's been a rough week.  Can you tell?
