Last night during my run, I was full of them.
Some were running related. When I started running at 6pm, I was miserable. THIS is why I'm a morning runner... get it out of the way before my body wakes up and realizes what's going on. Plus, the sun was out at 6pm and it was pretty warm.
I planned a 4.5 - 5 mile run, but then decided to just go for the 7 mile loop. There were so many people out and about- the weather was perfect for yard work or just plain sitting around outside. I will NOT take a walk break if someone can see me, so no walk breaks for me. Ugh.
I wore a new running skirt that I got over the weekend. I bought a large- I needed a medium. The shorts underneath kept riding up, and I wound up with chub rub- something my trusty running shorts never allows.
Then, I ran past the house that has had the "Free Kittens" sign out for a few weeks. There were 4 kittens playing in the front yard. They were SO cute. I wanted to scoop them up and take them home with me. Oh yeah, we already have 3 cats. I can so see myself becoming the crazy cat lady with a dozen cats in the house!
I love dogs, too- but cats don't have to be potty trained!
My thoughts during the last mile drifted to my running, or lack thereof, lately. Specifically, to Tunnel Hill. It's only a month and a half away. I know that the girl that was 5 seconds behind me on Labor Day will be there. I know that she will be hoping to beat me. I can NOT let that happen! So, I have GOT to get my lazy ass in gear with my training!
On tap for the weekend- a 9 or 10 mile run.
Good motivation to kick some boo-tay at Tunnel Hill. And I'm the same way with cats. I have to ogle at and touch every one.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to kick her rear at that race!
ReplyDeleteI love those runs when you get to think about all the things you never take time to otherwise.
I have to stay away from kittens and puppies. I would take them all home. It's almost to the point where I can't go into Petco when they have the cats there from a shelter.
ReplyDeleteGlad you took the extra time.
LOL @ getting it done before your body realizes what is going on.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your back out there Tammy. I know that chic does not
have a chance in beating you, runner you!
