Thinkin' about It Thursday

This week, I'm thinking...

  • that I really am just so done with snow and cold (Unlike Frances, I do occasionally complain about the weather.)
  • that even the dogs were unsure about the last one
    • especially when it started thawing
    • and got a hard crust on top
    • but still had a soft, squishy middle
    • and they kept falling through
    • but that didn't stop them from trying to chase squirrels
 
  • how a treadmill in the gym is an okay option when it's still too cold to run outside lest I irritate my barely-recovered lungs
    • but it's a little boring
    • even when I'm running away from zombies
    • so I'm looking forward to slightly-warmer-than-freezing-temperatures so I can run outside again with the 5k program gang
  • that working my way back up from where I was before the Two Week Nastiness is a little frustrating
  • how I need to keep reminding myself to take it slow
  • how, on the other hand, I may be finding a more comfortable pace
  • that I'm not out to win medals or break speed records
  • how I really just want to get to the point where I can run 5k continuously with no walking
  • how that means keeping it slow for now is probably smarter anyway
    • but I refuse to call the Two Week Nastiness a "blessing in disguise"
    • unless you count DH saying "bless you" when I sneezed
    • but that wasn't really in disguise
    • so nope, doesn't count
    • that I'm getting better about doing embroidery while I'm watching TV
    • how it's nice to finally be making a little progress 
    • that maybe I'll actually be done with the Halloween BOM in time for Halloween this year
      • but let's not get ahead ourselves
      • this is me we're talking about, after all
