My motivation has been completely zapped. I got sick and I had to miss several days of running. I'm better now.... but my nose is still running non-stop. I think it's just the time of year. Maybe I have allergies. I had the same problem last winter... it was like I had a cold for 4 months. Nothing serious just a running nose. Still, it's annoying.
We've also had several days of freezing tempatures. Running outside is my only option since my husband says we can't afford a gym membership or a treadmill. This morning the windchill was 8 degrees. 8 degrees! OMG! It gets dark at 5:30 pm... and my husband gets home at 5:30 pm... so I have to run in the freezing cold AND dark if I am to run. I really want to run, but I draw the line at this... So basically, I am a prisoner of this house. I go out to get the mail and that's it.
I saved up enough money to buy a treadmill but then my washing machine broke. Ugh! I spent my saved up birthday and Christmas money on a new washer.... Stupid washer. LOL
So now I've been searching the house for things to sell on Craislist so that I can get enough cash to buy a treadmill. So far my big ticket items aren't selling... Would you believe that no one wants my china!?! I have lots of low dollar stuff to have a garage sale but... If it were warm enough for a garage sale, then I wouldn't need a treadmill so badly. Oh, the irony!
My husband is pretty unsupportive about my running and my spending money on running things which is why it took me so long to save up money for the treadmill (ur, uh... washer). Doesn't he notice that I am in a better mood when I run? Being here all day with these kids... I love them, but I just need someway to relieve stress and break up the monotony... running gives me something to look forward to.
I'm trying to not allow myself to get too down... but I am pretty down. |
