So every day I make a mental note like many of you of the things I want to get done for the day. Weekends are no different, just busier with less time to get it all done. Somehow I manage to fit most of the big stuff in and of course today was just more of the same. Getting a run in on the weekends is sort of easier because I can go whenever I want unlike workdays. Most Saturdays and Sundays I choose to go very early or early afternoon. Today was beautiful. I bribed my son to grocery shop with a trip to Colonial Donut….works every time! Food shopped and then I ignored the housework and headed outside to weed. I weeded for HOURS! I stopped to make lunch which was a nice breather and then headed back out. I should have had lunch on the fly because my energy waned by the moment. Getting older sucks! The sun was cooking me and I slowed down and finally I reached my stopping point for the day. Thank heck for that. So I cleaned up and knowing I didn’t have much left in my tank, I donned my running garb and made James bike with me carrying a bottle of water in case I had an “incident” related to the sun. I can’t believe I just used that word. UUGGHHH. Anyway NOTE TO SELF, self…don’t try to shove a run in after a long tiring day weeding in the garden. Ok, do it because you’re a stubborn Ukranian but don’t complain about it! I now know what zombie actually feels like. Everything is tired, my back yells “Zowie” when I bend over, the dirt is mocking me from every crevice and I feel like I’m made of lead. I’m so effing tired and my finger tips hurt from pulling weeds so typing this is like ouchie oochie across hot coals. I have crud in my eyes and I think my dinner is burning right now and I don’t even care. I can hear the shower calling me and I would like to fast forward to soaking in the shower till the water runs down the walls. I may be tired but I am proud I got it in. My friend Barbara would say that it reiterates that I’m a BAD ASS RUNNER! LOL
HAPPY RUNNING!
