Another Day, No Run

Yup, you got that right...another day gone by and we have day seven of no running.

This morning I got up and worked a little more on the reunion contact list. My 25 Year High School Reunion will be here in just 8 short months. And I'm coordinating the entire thing! I've found about 175 people...just 200ish more to go! LOL!!! Okay, not so funny. I really need to get in gear. Need to start collecting money soon, too. Ugh. Someone tell my why I volunteered to do this???

I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon cleaning out my computer cabinet - that would be two or three hours of cleaning! I had stuff I had completely forgotten about. Some stuff I'm glad I found - like my daughter's birth certificate! Thought I had lost that for sure. Other stuff I'm not so glad I had to go through - binders and binders of old Friend of the Court papers, divorce papers, old pictures and cards... Why the heck did I keep all that crap???? Should I mention the bag of dog toys and the bag of partially chewed dog bones I pulled off of one, yes, one, shelf?! Oy!

After cleaning, I went out and shoveled the snow. Not too bad. Didn't take long. But I really think I need to work on my core muscles. My back...weak! Last year when I was in the gym lifting, no problems...this year not quite the case. Any who... When I was shoveling I saw some Yaktrak tracks in the snow on my sidewalk! So, I get done and do a little jog on the sidewalk to test out the ole adductor. Not good. I could still feel it a little bit. If I hadn't felt anything, I would have definitely gone for a run. But I'm not going to push it. I know I can get back to it relatively quickly. Plus, I have a race coming up...so wanna be good for the 4 miler on New Years Eve! :)

I miss my daily run. It's my daily therapy. I run out the bad. I run to celebrate the good. I run to see how far I can push myself. I run for others. And I run to just run for the fun of running!

But alas, it was another day and no run.
But maybe tomorrow!
