I give up-- I'm just going to start putting my elliptical workouts up as runs. Today (Wednesday, time warp!) I am working from home and it is raining but I am going to try to run a little on my "lunch" break before I head to the office for the afternoon. Working from home is actually part of my December Health Plan, which so far has effected zero change in my diet (okay, not zero, but not a lot) but a lot of good stuff in my personal life. I'm joining BSF and my boat will be ready to sail this weekend (: J and I are going down on Saturday. The Lookout Mountain 10k is coming up and I am feeling a little dismal about it. I have no doubt I can run the distance, but I just know it will be a slow, cold race and I wish I had just planned to go to Chattanooga instead of making it a race thing. I am in the biggest slump after the SCHM. I got back and my knee hurt and I just didn't feel like running. I still don't-- it's weird how sudden it was. One day I was sneaking out the back door of the office in my running things, the next I was staring forlornly at a track thinking, "screw this." What gives? I've been "running" on the elliptical and watching Entourage. Severely ignoble.
At the very least, getting back out to the boat is a good step. It cheers me up and as you might imagine, it's good conditioning-- I spend the whole day lugging around ladders, lines, climbing up and over sea cruisers, pressure washing, shop-vac-ing, etc.
