Mar. 1st, 2013 09:01 amI haaaate it when people post vague things without giving details, but I'm about to do it. I'll try to make it as un-annoying as I can.
I got the BEST news yesterday. It's not the kind of news that other people will really give too much of a shit about, though, so there's no need to be all crazed with curiosity and anticipation. I'll spill the beans when I'm allowed. It's not about a pregnancy or adoption or anything baby-related. I'm all kinds of happy about it though and it is something I can think about whenever I start to feel shitty and I'm sure it'll turn my attitude around. So that's awesome.
I was really tired and totally dreading my long lunch run yesterday (5 miles), but it was actually pretty breezy, as 5-mile runs go, and I felt great for finishing it. At the beginning of the week, I was seriously considering giving myself the week off from running, but I decided against it because I'm making really good progress and I'd just feel crappy about myself if I put that on hold. I don't want to stall out right before I hit the 10-mile mark. Once I do that (Sunday), I'm just a 5K away from the half marathon, and a 5K to me now sounds like a day off. I'm sure the last 3.1 of my race will feel quite challenging, but mentally it does help to break things down into segments.
I was in bed for over 12 hours last night, which I desperately needed, and I actually feel pretty fully awake for the first time this week. I'm still glad it's Friday and I have no obligations on my time this weekend, aside from running 10 miles at some point on Sunday. No solid plans Saturday through Tuesday, though, and I'm really excited about the idea of doing nothing for a little while.
