Karma is a bitch

So yesterday Bil told me he would pick up Raviv from daycare, which meant I didn't have to rush out of work. It was a sunny day so I packed up my sneakers and running clothes and brought them to the office in case I decided to run.



At lunch, I had a delicious soup from the Black Sheep, but then I couldn't help myself- the strawberry honey bars had been calling for days and I had to try it. So I bought one. The first bite was sensational! SOOOO GOOOD! But in the end, I couldn't even finish the pastry. It just tasted...too sweet! This has never, ever, happened to me. I have always heard people say that if you cut out sweets and sugar in general, you will lose the taste, but I never really believed it. Well, now I do.



About 10 minutes later, I got a really bad headache. Then, I was sooo tired for two hours. I was really surprised how much this dessert effected me.



But, after a meeting at 3, I decided I would go for my run. I figured it might help me to feel better. So I pumped, put on my gear, looked up a run that would be about 30 minutes and off I went.



Now dear reader(s?) you may recall how I am the asshole who didn't shovel her sidewalk. Well, let me tell you, I got mine. About four minutes into my run I fell on a patch of ice on an un-shoveled sidewalk. I hurt my hand that had just finished healing from another fall, and got huge scrapes on my knees. There was blood all over my pants. So I got up and turned around, walking lamely back to the office. But then, I decided to just try running again. And it wasn't too bad, so I re-routed my run and completed my three miles.

Today it is sunny again, so I went out with an ice-chopping shovel and worked on the sidewalk out front. It isn't as good as the rest of the street, but it is a bit safer. I plan to run again today, hopefully my "long" run of 4 miles (12 weeks and 1 day until the half marathon!), even though it is cold. Of course, I forgot to put the laundry (i.e. running gear) in the dryer, so I have a bit of time to procrastinate.
