Yesterday went well. I know I said I wasn’t going to think about the past days and only focus on the present day - but it’s different when you had a good day. I didn’t do any late night binge-eating and I ran five miles. Good for me!
There were some crazy-ass storms last night. I woke up this morning and every piece of recycling we had in the bin was somewhere either on our yard or one of our neighbor’s. I had to go stomping around in the mud this morning picking up 19 million diet coke cans lying around. (How did I get that kidney infection again?) There is also soggy bits of newspaper in every corner of our yard - and I have no idea where that came from. We only get the paper on Sundays and it didn’t even come today. There was thunder and lightning all through the night - but we never heard a tornado siren, so we all slept through it.
I’m going to try to do a longer run today. Taking about a week off of training for my kidney infection puts me off track for my marathon. Luckily I was a bit ahead of the game anyway - I just have to ease myself back into it. I think I may just do 10 miles today (JUST 10 miles. Who am I?) We’ll see.
Zoot, I got to your blog through Chocolate Runner. Isn’t the web a great place? I can find out about other people’s lives when I don’t have much of one myself. By what you wrote, I couldn’t tell where you live and finally found where you said you’re in Alabama! Tornadoes? At least that’s something we don’t have to live with here, at least in this part of New Mexico. However, we do get rippin’ big windstorms and had one yesterday. So I totally understand the trash all over the yard. Makes you realize just how many fast-food places are nearby. And we have Chinese elm trees which have fairly brittle branches and every time we have a windstorm we lose a bunch of them. So…. out yesterday afternoon to pick up the garbage and the branches…. again.
Heh, perhaps you didn’t get a morning paper because it was all over the lawn?
We got one of those coupon newspapers and Nikki Z helped me put them In the recycling can!It was so cute!
