I don't wanna

Urg, let me begin by saying last night was not fun. After a 5 mile run, a full day at the office, and returning home to find out my roommate hadn't had dinner yet because she had been cleaning up doggie puke since she got home (almost 3 hours earlier), I drove her out to the outskirts of town for dinner. Hey, she deserved it.

She thought she had checked everywhere for more spots and was confident it was all up until I went to bed and discovered doggie sicky on my bed and pillow and comforter.

So, needless to say neither of us slept well. (her bed had been covered in doggie stuff too)

I slept until I couldn't sleep anymore, got up and made up the beds since they had dried, ate some breakfast and decided I would run as planned this morning instead of this evening (i was betting I would be too tired by the end of the day- and I was right).

But this morning's run, a 5 miler, seemed especially hard. I ran around our big city block 2 1/2 times to make my 5 miles and every step I just wished I were back in bed, surrounded by the warmth of my clean, fresh sheets or at least on the couch icing my knees.

It's hard to make yourself workout sometimes, it's hard to find the will to sweat and huff and puff while people on the street walk or drive by staring at you like you're crazy. I always think to myself when I catch someone staring," yeah, that's right some of us do this for fun."

Fun?! Who am I kidding,this morning I did it because I ate way to much stuff last night celebrating. Celebrating? Yeah, we decided to call last nights impromptu dinner my 1 year anniversary 100 pounds lost dinner instead of "you just spent all evening cleaning up doggie puke" dinner. It just had a better ring to it.

So, in closing, I am tired. But not in pain, I didn't wanna run those 5 miles but can at least feel accomplished in knowing I did. Why this morning I woke up and finally bought myself a hydration belt to start practicing with on Sunday during my long run.

But short term, well tomorrow is a short 2 miler that I may make a 3 and then Saturday I'm off for my 5K. Next up will be the Human Race on October 24. Anyone can participate at any time, anywhere on that day. All you need is the Nike plus gear, run a 6K, log it in and you've participated.

As for staying here at work another moment longer," I don't wanna," so good night.
