Moody Day
It’s amazing how the day can change really quickly.
My workout this morning was good and I was thinking to myself-wow, it’s really easy to workout when you aren’t injured. For example, this morning I went swimming and post-workout did not have to worry about putting Neosporin and bandages (really big band-aids) on my heels to cover my blisters. That involves taking a shower, carefully drying my feet, and trying to keep the heels sterile and dry until I can put on my bandages-which is not an easy feat (no pun intended) in a communal locker room. But when you are healed, like I was today, it is a breeze to get ready-especially since I have taken to not drying my hair with a hair dryer. The whole process is so fast. And when you are not injured there is no elaborate icing procedure involved…it’s just so much easier.
Then I went to work which was pretty bad. I was in a BAD mood as I was leaving work. When I get in a bad mood all I really want to do is go running or something, which I couldn’t b/c that messes with the rest week and the knee. My friend asked me to drop off some CD’s at his house and I agreed. Once at his house there were a bunch of people there and we all decided to go out to dinner. It was fun. We went to a nice place and it was a really good time. I just got home. My night definitely picked up in an unexpected way after my yucky day. It’s at times like that that I really feel lucky to be surrounded by such good people.
Of note is that I really need to dress better. It’s funny b/c earlier in the day I was thinking how gross I looked-but how I really could care less b/c I was having such a bad day. For example, in the tri I really care more about how I do than about what I look like. And I don’t care I only have 4.5 toenails (my doctor and mom thought I would be upset) just b/c my foot works. (That’s why sports are so good for young girls!) And at work today I was wearing really yucky clothing and my glasses-but I did not care at all b/c I had a lot to do and the emphasis was really on what I was producing, not what I looked like. I really was dressed badly but did care AT ALL. But then I ended up out at a nice restaurant in my disgusting clothes [blondie would have been so disappointed with me!] and I felt underdressed. I was so unprepared…so I don’t know where I stand on the dressing nicely bit. My mom would say I need to dress better, but I don’t usually care, but I guess I do sometimes…
So my moving friend (mentioned in my first DC post-he helped me move in) has agreed to run on the sketchy trail with me sometime. I am glad he will-but I am still bitter I can’t go on my own…

I love when yucky days end up so unexpectedly well! And I'll also join you on the trail (well that is when I CAN run! ;)
