i should be running right now but...
... it's raining. a. i'm cold and full from dinner. b. i haven't watched tv in weeks. c. and i would rather play on my computer with mtv in the background while snuggled under a blanket. d.
today was no ordinary tuesday. today, i spent the day in tiburon, at an off site strategy meeting, for work. sounds boring, but i have to admit that i would happily do off site strategy meetings every day if it meant i could sit in a comfy living room with a few select small group of co-workers, brainstorming ideas and mapping out our plans for the year. no access to email or phones, yummy food, coffee from a real mug... beats a day in my cube at my 'puter easily.
but enough about thaaaat.... i just got home and it's 9pm. i skipped practice today for this work thing, so now i have the impending guilt of being a slacker. if i wasn't already so slow, relative to my teammates, i wouldn't feel so much guilt about missing one day. but i feel like i can't ever stop or else the gap will just grow and grow and grow. but i really don't want to go out in the rain to sit on a treadmill tonight. screw it.
so i have noticed some really annoying things lately. like, every time i get into the elevator at my office, someone from the second floor gets in behind me and presses the button: floor 2.
boom, doors shut before i can escape.
WHO TAKES AN ELEVATOR TO THE SECOND FLOOR? i mean come on, you are the only floor in the building who has a stairwell from the lobby, don't slow up our our rides just because you are Laaaay-zee.
okay, actually, that's the only observation of annoying activity that i've made lately... i thought for a split second there was something else, but i can't remember what it was.
anyways, how 'bout them pats? shakes head embarrasingly... or them bucs? shakes head again... the super bowl is going to be so lame this year. amen for chips and guac.
but, back to running, since this the theme for the post.
i'm going to do another half marathon in a few weekends. super bowl sunday, actually (see, there was a tie in to that last paragraph). i'm excited. i'm sure it will be hard, but i'm trying to prep better. i've been lifting weights again, for one. and i'm working on getting my distance up. for instance, i went on a 12 mile run on saturday, and i want to do another 13 this weekend, and next. that should be good. the most prep i've ever done for a 1/2, or even a full marathon at that. i usually decide to run them the week before. we'll see if it pays off. maybe i'll just get hurt. you never know with this sport how your legs are gonna feel...
