Wii.

I can't bring myself to make a decision about running right now. I'm just not into it, but I don't want to give it up completely. I am taking a personal day and thought I'd run after sending the kids off to school/daycare, but then I got caught up in weeding instead.

I would like to, I think, go for every other day for right now. But that would mean I'd have to run sometime today, but I don't know if that's going to happen. We'll see.

I went through the same thing recently, mostly last Summer and into the Fall. I really didn't have any desire to run, but I didn't want to give it up completely. I cut way back on miles and run 2 maybe 3 days a week most weeks with a total of 10-12 miles for the week. I kept this up more or less for several months until I felt ready to get back into it.

Do it for me Tracy.

Oddly enough, Burt, I am running right now with the thought that I'd probably run with you sometime while I'm in Mesa. I know I have to be in some sort of running shape. If the white pages have your correct address, you live 2.22 miles from the cousin we're going to visit. She lives on Camino Street. So I really have no excuse if I'm going to be in your neighborhood.

Carolyn, I'll PM you soon. The trip's on, as you can see, and hopefully I can check in with you, too. I doubt we'd be able to run together, though, because we won't be in CO till later on a Sat and we'll leave on a Monday.

I bet it would be easier if I would just stop blogging for a little while. It makes me feel guilty in oh so many ways (for not being hardcore, for missing a day here and there, etc.).

But I can't bring myself to do that either.

I'm in the white pages? Uh, scary!

From Tracy on Tue, May 24, 2011 at 19:19:11 from 173.24.38.54

I bet it's hard to breathe in there.

Don't stress about it if you are not feelin' it! Ride your bike and pull weeds, run when you feel like it. Life is too short!

You are right, Auntie...I think I just need to be a casual about it and not be neurotic. I'm pretty neurotic. I'm like that little kid on The Middle.

Brick! (little kid from The Middle)

Derunzo, I hope after you posted that you whispered "Middle" into your lap.
