Ran Tonight

So I got up early this morning. Well I woke up before my alarm. And amazingly I employed the positive self talk to get my self dressed and out on the road for a walk in no time flat. The cold air is about when the positive self talk dissipated. Instead of the around the neighborhood journey... I made it to the top of the hill of the neighborhood and back. Good thing - I did run up and down the hill. An accomplishment for me.

So this evening I was going to go swimming. And here is the lamest excuse ever. Laptop in my car. Given today's economy I will not lock the laptop in my turnk in hopes that it is safe. And it doesn't necessarily fit in the locker all that well. So no swimming. Bummer because what I did instead - sat in traffic. YEP - if you leave early/on-time you end up sitting in rush hour traffic with everyone else.

After dinner I decided I would walk/run for a good hour. I had until 9pm for Fringe to come on. I made it about 10 minutes when I ended up by a friend's house. And I went inside to see their new baby girl. This is the first time I have seen her. What a cutie she is. She has her mom's eyes and these adorable dimples. And she is still pretty petite. So I got to hold her for a bit.

I did run bits and pieces around the rest of the neighborhood. And I do notice the distance of my non-run is getting longer.

Tomorrow is a road trip to see a client. I will try to remember to bring my change of clothes so I can stop at the gym on my way home. Again I would like to try the hour/4mile game plan. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
