I was dressed and ready to go, then when I went to feed the chickens before I left I realized that their coop needed attention. I wanted to walk away and take care of it later but I knew I wouldn't be in the mood to do it after a long run.
so 2 hours and a cordless drill, pneumatic nailer, circular saw, & jig saw late r, I was ready to run and it started raining. My weather app showed a sun and no rain for 3 more hours. I was so mad at that dumb weather app. I just wasn't feeling the love for 3 hours on the muddy trail in the cold rain. After all the snow this week I realized the clay in the trail was probably not a safe bet today either.
My lucky day- the high school was having a day long basketball game with boys/girls jayvee/varsity games back to back. So i got to run the treadmill and watch some b-ball. I saw some sweet moves on the boy's varsity team. Impressive! Some girls on the visiting team were mocking me (they could see in the window on the 2nd floor) before their game. They played, they lost, and no one was mocking me when I was still going an hour later.
The last hour sucked. I wanted to quit. I didn't, but I did a little slow jog for 5 minutes to get my groove back. Then treated myself to a 3 course Thai dinner. Happy year of the horse. I ate like one. Totally worth that last hour on the milly.
