I was so tired when I left work yesterday. So tired. Thinking about the rest of this week just made my shoulders slump even more, and yet I was scheduled to run. Only 3 miles, but still. Sigh. When I leave work feeling wiped out, the only thing I ever really want to do is go straight home and flop onto the couch.
BUT…I didn’t. Hooray for little victories. I dragged myself to Gilruth and did my scheduled 3 miles. I wore my watch, but didn’t look at it until the end — I just needed a run to just run and not worry about the other stuff. By the end of the three miles, I was feeling much happier and more energetic. After I finished, I glanced at the watch to see 32:25. Not bad at all for an easy run.
I have been staring longingly at blog entries that mention this weekend’s Bayou City Classic, but I am resisting. Sunday is my practice Quarter Ironman, and while I could run a 10K on Saturday, I’ll probably be better off doing a long swim. Hopefully in open water. And hopefully in a wetsuit.
Class tonight, and I’ve completed a complete set of capital letters and punctuation for my font. I decided to go with the not-at-all-useful mosaic theme, a la Noah’s Bagels. I’ll post it later. The caps were fairly easy; I think lowercase will be more of a challenge. Today we’ll start working on turning our handwriting into a font, which I’m actually looking forward to because I like my handwriting. It’s pretty and legible. That’s one of the benefits of having a kindergarden teacher for a mother — neat handwriting.
I have a bunch of design ideas for websites. Just don’t have the time to work on them. They’ll be added to the list of things I’ll have time to work on once I don’t have to train 6 days a week… 😉
