1. Today I’m having one of those days where I’d like to get back in bed and start over. So far today I’ve spilled an entire thermos of organic milk (at what that stuff costs per gallon, I do nearly cry over spilled milk), dropped my fried egg on the floor, and showed up for a chiro appointment and had no one be there. Not exactly a successful day so far. I think that should be a perfect excuse to curl up on the couch with a book and not move all day. Right?
2. This week I had to go to Annapolis for a meeting with a conservation group. I drove my Pilot because the potential for stop and go traffic was high (and did indeed occur) and my civic is stick shift. As I parked in a lot full of Prius, Smart cars, and Zip cars, I felt like I totally lost environmentalist cred. I wanted to put on a button that said “no, really, I usually drive a civic.” LOL
3. Running is going well. I can run my easy runs a bit faster and still have them feel easy. Four to six miles has become a breeze. My calf sometimes gets tight and the balls of my feet get a little roughed up when I run too many barefoot miles, but generally speaking everything is working right. So, what’s my problem? I have no desire to run more than 6 miles at a time. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Which would be fine, except I’m running the Blue Ridge Half Marathon in April. Ummm…

Sorry you’ve had such a rough morning. Tomorrow is sure to be better and look at that sweet little face you have to smile at you. Your little one is a cutie! 🙂
I’d cry over spilled organic milk too! Really funny about the parking lot experience. A hat so you could hide your shame would have been good. ; )
You better run some hilly miles longer than six for that one! Get moving…
Aww..sorry about the rough morning! I’ve had many of those and running seems to make everything better! Glad to hear you had a great run! Your little guy is quite a cutie!
Sorry for the rough morning! Hope that means a great afternoon and evening is in store for you.
The only time I don’t love my Jetta TDI is when I’m in a traffic jam. Sometimes I think I can hear my clutch crying out for mercy.
well you got an AMEN from me on #1.
I’m pretty sure I need a “do over” button or at least an “easy” button.
LOVING the beads!!
I’m lying on the couch having just finished a book and loving it! I recommend it for what ails you.
Gahh I hope your day improved!
Awesome that running is going so well. I’m sure that distance bug will bite soon!
Oh the spilled organic milk hurts! I hope the rest of the day gets better!
OH man. I just had a day like that at the beginning of the week! Glad you runs feel good and the desire for distance will come. You have plenty of time before your race:) I hope your chiro gives you a free appointment for your wasted time!
uffff. I’m sorry you’re having a rough day. Been the story of my life all week – to the point where I SWORE it was friday all day and almost cried when I learned its thursday..
no matter what time of day, day of the week, or route I take — going to annapolis is like trying to pull teeth.
ha, I feel like that when I drive the highlander. my other car is a crappy tiny VW, I promise!
Wow what a morning. I sure hope the day when up from there.
At least you didn’t have a nasty note on your car when you got back to it. 😉 YOu know something like,
“Hey Mama,
Shame on you.
..the Planet”
You could always look at it as running 6 miles 2.o2 times.
I’ve cried over spilled water and definitely would shed a tear for spilled organic milk. We take expensive food products very seriously around here, at least I do!!
LOL about the Pilot in the middle of a lot with more fuel efficient cars! 🙂 Sounds like an annoying day, but it’s almost over!
Ugh, I hate those days! Too funny about all the smart cars… I wish I lived in a place like that. We’re surrounded by suv’s and pick up trucks here. 🙂 You’ve still got time for the half… don’t push yourself when you’re not feeling it, I bet your motivation will return!
I hope your day got better!! Great job on the running. Personally, I have no desire to run more than 2 miles at a time… so you’re ahead of me in that 🙂
Cute Mardi Gras Pic!
Oh, girl. I’m so sorry you had one of those days. ::hugs::
the prius’s and such that i usually see are covered in hippie bumper stickers and that just irritates me. and i’m *such* a tree hugger. people throw away the copier (print job) cover sheets at work and i will pull them out of the trash and put them in the recycling bin. anyway, don’t feel bad. 🙂 spilling organic milk, i would cry too!
