Aha! Success! I ran! slowly but it wasn't even in the pool and not too bad. i just have to run early in the morning if i want to run on land, it seems. (I am feeling a bit better but i generally feel better in the morning that afternoon-evening). the bad part of this is that i hate running in the dark (especially by myself. don't worry, i have a vest and light and don't anticipate this business to last too long). and i also hate the temperature (or lack thereof) at that time of the day but if i run early, i can run! (note on the !: i don't generally write with a lot of ! because i had this creative writing teacher who hated them. really they should be used for shouting in dialogue, not for emphasis, but technology has broken our language and grammatical normalities, so everyone uses them to show emphasis. claire said we can use three exclamation points in our literary lifetimes. i tell this to my students as well and they laugh at me. notice that i used exactly three here. while my blog is in no way literary, i do try to refrain from overuse. however, i was just that happy to run today and to not feel too icky during my run. imagine me shouting and doing a little jig). will try for a few more miles later (probably in a pool). |
