My Life Thus Far
Something So Obvious
I'm paying for staying up so late last night. I didn't
fall asleep until well after 5am and was lovingly awakened
by the construction crew that has been jack-hammering up
my street for the past week. This morning they reached my
driveway. I'll be glad when they're done.
I told Snookie how I've been feeling lately and he had a
good point. He thinks it's just PMS. My periods are all
over the place. I don't think I've had one since January,
maybe February. It hadn't occurred to me that it might be
something so obvious. I guess in a week or so we'll see.
In an attempt at being more connected to my inner self, I
decided to deviate from the norm during my workout. I cut
my Arc Trainer time in half and got out on the track. I
haven't jogged in years, but I used to love it. It was
such a release and gave me time to connect with my mind
and body in a very physical way. The Y has an amazing
track on the second floor. It overlooks the basketball
courts and has a wall of windows with a panoramic view of
the Port of Washington. It's great. So, I started out
slowly. 16 laps = a mile. By the 16th lap I was pushing
myself hard. I let go of everything. The depression, the
frustration, the aggravation, the irritation. Everything.
10 minute mile, baby :) It was like everyone and
everything around me faded away and it was just me, my
breathing and the track. I'm still not in as good a shape
as I used to be, but I'm very pleased with my progress.
Every time I look at my silver medal from the POW/MIA fun
run I did a few years back, it makes me want to get back
to that level of fitness and maybe do another run. Why
not?
I've spiked my tea with a little Malibu and I'm hoping it
will relax me enough to get me in bed here in the near
future. Somehow I've got to counteract the second wind
that keeps me up so late. I'm feeling a headache coming
on, but that's just because I'm working on 3 hours of
sleep. Ciao.
