Thoughts on Running

For most runners, a pair of running shoes "wears out" somewhere between 300 and 500 miles.

This is me, all over the place

July 25, 2007

I am insane. JACC was right. To counter, apparently, my 4:00 a.m. run from my last post, I decided tonight, an 8:00 p.m. run was in order. I was busy earlier, I told myself. And it was hot, my gosh was it hot. I think it was four hundred degrees as it has been for the last week. So I told myself I’d wait. Or maybe do another early run tomorrow. These were all good excuses, I thought. But as I ran tonight, I just got to thinking I’m so all over the place lately, it’s obvious my urge to run is no different.

There are a lot of reasons for it, I suppose. In a lot of ways, it’s been evident all around. The following, because I lack creativity at the moment, are good examples of the crazy that has been me here lately:

- I actually woke myself up in the middle of the night by talking. Of course, I’ve been known to talk in my sleep (I used to scare my sister out of her room when we were younger) but this was just a bit much. I was having a pretty serious conversation.

- I have been relying entirely too much on cold cereal to sustain me. Don’t get me wrong, I love cereal but even I know this is not good.

- My sister and nephew arrived yesterday. They’re here for the duration, until my brother-in-law comes home. This is not really an example of why I’ve lost it unless you count that I actually believe deep in my heart that I really can sing just because a one-year-old dances when I do.

- The other day, on someone’s blog, another commenter made a [what I consider to be closed-minded] comment to me and it actually hurt my feelings. I inexplicably got pretty offended when I know I shouldn’t, because I don’t know this person. I think if you make comments on a blog, they’re fair “game.” I guess everyone does not see it this way. Alright, enough of that.

- I have really been in the mood to mow the lawn. I offered to mow my mother’s tonight and she told me no. No. I couldn’t believe it.

- I am starting school at the end of the month. Oh, I haven’t mentioned this, you say? Yeah, I know. It’s because I haven’t thought about it. I keep telling myself I’ll get into it. Any minute now…

- I bought a lottery ticket. Need I say more?
