Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
Yesterday I went for a long run. And? I forgot my watch. When you get old, I guess these things happen, but dig this – I remembered the chest strap for my heart rate monitor, but it is dang useless without the watch to record the output.
So, I have only a vague idea how long I ran, time wise. Mileage-wise I know pretty much – 10.1 miles. Yes, I’ve finally made it to double digits on a single run. I was helped immensely by a) sleeping through my scheduled run on Easter morning (which was supposed to be the ten miler), thereby gaining an extra rest day, and 2) temperatures in the 40’s, and I know I run much better when it’s below 60 degrees.
So, anyway.
Last night I tried another meditation session, and I think I made it about nine minutes. Still didn’t have a watch on. I quit because my legs and back were sore, which might be partly due to running ten miles, but more to do with where I was sitting – it just wasn’t a good place for it. But maybe I’m getting the hang of it, kinda.
This morning, it was tricky getting the kids up and at-em, after a three or four day weekend (depending on which child we are talking about) and a very strange schedule dominated by easter candy, video games, and cleaning house. But we made it.
Hope y’all are well… =P
Good for you, B. If forgetting your watch means you’re getting old, then I must be REALLY old, since I haven’t worn one in about a year. My kids had a four day weekend: la dee dah! Lazy bums didn’t want to get out of bed this morning at the preordained time (mostly ’cause I was still in bed). Got them to school on time, then realized that I had forgotten their lunches. So it was a trip home to throw lunch sacks together (’cause I can’t afford school lunches!) and then a trip back to the school to drop them off. WHEW! I know it’s Tuesday. It just feels like a Monday to me.
10 freaking miles!!!!! HOLY MOLEY! YOU GO! Makes me realize what a weenie I am LOL I whine after 4!
So proud of you!
double-digits. Go. You.
nice progress. You’ve come a long way. keep it up, and let me know when you come to DFW for a race so we can do the interweb/real life hook up thing and we can run together.
If you’re running 10 miles, you can do a half-marathon. I hope that’s what you’re planning on doing, because that’d be AWESOME.
