Put DOWN the DVD
Whatever the clocks and sun are doing right now is agreeing with me. I was asleep by 11 and up by 6:15 AM. It felt great to get enough sleep AND be up early. I love getting up early. If this had been the summer I would have gone running. However, it was freezing out! Instead I made good use of my time and got some things accomplished before getting to work at 8 (the building doesn’t unlock before then and as an intern I don’t have a key). I put in a good 4 hours at work and then came home and went running for ½ an hour. I was dressed for winter during my run but it was not too cold at all and was another beautiful, sunny day to run. I did my usual pond loop b/c it is the perfect length for a 30 minute run. It was a hard workout. I think the problem was two-fold: 1) I’m out of shape and 2) I didn’t eat enough in the morning. I don’t usually run at lunch (I was injured when the clocks switched so I am still used to running in the morning) so I wasn’t eating enough in the morning. I usually eat breakfast and a light snack-which is enough energy to make it to lunch, where I eat again. But I guess it’s not enough energy to make it to another run, especially when I eat breakfast at 6:30 and don’t run until 12:15.
It was nice to feel like I accomplished things today b/c I have been pretty lazy in general recently. They know me at the video store b/c I am the one who calls/stops by almost every day to get the sequential Lost DVDs. I am halfway through disc 3. That one was VERY hard to get my hands on. Thanks to Caitlin’s comment about it being cheaper to buy the set than rent it all I decided it would be a lot cheaper to join my store’s movie rental club than to keep renting at my current pace. There’s a set fee each month for unlimited rentals. I am loving it already. I really love movies. That is definitely another hobby of mine. (I will have to remember that the next time I bemoan being bored and having no hobbies except for sports.) So thanks Caitlin!
I have dinner plans tonight at 7 that are right next to my gym. So, depending on motivation, I may head over an hour early and lift and foam roll. Maybe. That would be cool b/c I could shower and stuff at the gym. As my friend (another grad student) noted, if we use the shampoo and soap there we don’t have to pay for it at home :)
I should pick up dry cleaning, drop off a package at UPS, and do some reading for school. Just one more episode of Lost first...

I don't get Lost. Well, I don't have a TV but I don't understand the obsession with it. It just sounds crazy and confusing. Maybe that's the appeal.
How the leg doing? I was reading farther down about the "gap" in your muscle and the comment about it sticking. Maybe you have an adhesion. Sounds like a job for ART. If you can take some pain, this might be something you could try.
