Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

Ok, so I'm not the only one have a bad day yesterday (Monday). I thought I was taking a step backwards. Work was horrible, and then when I got out on the road to run, the first step I took felt horrible! It was if I was in slow motion and the rest of my body went, "oh no, not again....!" I suppose it can be chalked up as a character building day. I couldn't run, I couldn't breathe, and my shins started to hurt. So I only got in 25 minutes instead of 40-50.
I'm thinking that I must be pretty sorry until I read other blogs stating they had the same problems. I guess the planets must have aligned or something. But today is a new day and so I must have a new attitude, right?

So I'm at Abner's last night for dinner because we were rushed for a meeting and didn't have time to prepare anything. The Abner's on Pear Orchard behind the mall gives a 10% discount to police, fire, and healthcare people on Monday's. I'm sitting there eating when a guy comes in that looks like a runner. I guess I'm noticing this more because I looked at his shoes, and then at his special socks, and his shorts, and shirt....you get the picture. I wouldn't have cared this time four months ago. It's sort of like when I became a nurse and I would look at someone in the checkout line at Kroger and started thinking, "man! that guy has got great veins!" I guess you start thinking and acting more closely to what you're involved with at the time.

Well, it's time to get ready to run. I can only hope if that guy saw me, he would think I'm a runner. My luck, he would be thinking, "oh look! it's comedy hour at the track tonight!" (ha)

Yeah. I know what you mean by the vein thing. I'm a dental assistant and check out everybody's teeth. And don't even realize I'm doing it most of the time.
And the kind of day you had, yeah, we've all been there. I find it very irritating that on the day's my mind wants to cooperate and I am motivated mentally to be out there, my body decides to disconnect with my brain, or vice versa. Hate those days!!!

There's this guy who runs regularly on the track where I run and he's so lean, so fast & I swear he doesn't even breathe! I wonder what does he think of me as I'm gasping for air & traveling at a snail's pace??

Remember, the good days always outweigh the bad ones! :)

Your blog always makes me laugh!!! Abners, yummy! I had something else to say, but forgot. My mind got sidetracked by the thought of Abners.

Did you ever get your electronic toy to work? If so, you should use it! It might bring you some motivation to see just how well you're actually doing. If you STILL haven't figured out how to use it, bring it Saturday and I'll see if I can figure it out.

See ya then :-)
