You can do it!

I'm trying to gear myself up to get up early tomorrow to squeeze in a five mile run before I work a long shift to educate the public on recycling do's and don'ts. Can I? Will I? Should I? I think I need to. I've been eating like crap this week. Running motivates me to take better care of myself and I really need to. Plus this crazy increase in my work load has got me all stressed out...which running helps dramatically. I'm hoping that I find it in myself to crawl out of bed by 6:45 tomorrow. I'm going to take the dog with me so that should be fun. Hopefully she doesn't crap out on me half way through....but she will. It's okay, she give me more of an excuse to stop and take walking breaks.

I ran on Thursday morning and was actually making some pretty good time. My calves were sore as hell from running stairs on Wednesday so I decided not to run any hills. Being on flat ground made everything SO much easier. I was even breaking 9 minute miles (fast for a chubby midget)! The WWT should be equally as flat and will hopefully bring the same result. As I increase my mileage, I will have to head down to the Munger trail for some good scenery. Yay.

Otherwise, I'm just looking forward to the end of a long crappy week. I keep finding myself in the middle of these life contemplation moments. I think it's spurred by other people. I don't know, maybe they see something in me that makes them want to ask what I'm going do, where I'm going to end up. How is this story going to play out. It's all just overwhelming.
