Laggard

I was a bad Bex tonight. The weather is oppressive - humid, torrid, with rolling thunderstorms. So I didn't run, though I was slated for six miles.

Too hot. Too tired. Too lazy.

Instead, I came home after work, went through 2 weeks of mail, drank two Tom Collins (my drink of the summer), ate a tomato and goat cheese salad, missed Tahoe, the snow-topped Sierra Nevadas, and the open road. Then watched 4 episodes of "Sex and the City," season 5, back to back to back to back.

And you know what? It felt great.

Tomorrow, I climb back on the running wagon. Some races I'm slated for: The Army 10-Miler (this was my inaugural running event last year), the Baltimore Marathon Relay, and the Las Vegas Half-Marathon.

  1. Heh, heh. Sounds like a rest day to me. :) Sometimes you need a day of extra rest. And a Tom Collins. ;)

  2. I think your method of returning to the routine is perfectly paced. You just can't do everything in a hurry, especially after all that non-hurrying.
