Bob -
It is 6 a.m. on Sunday morning. It is cold. I have had a busy and hard few weeks at work. I have run three days in a row. I have busted my abs with my son this week. My knee is better, but still somewhat sore. I am tired. I can't find my running socks. How can running socks disappear? Not just one, but whole pair. I am old. I ate too much last night. I ate too much for the last few months. I don't feel like getting dressed. The house is warm. No one is home. I can lay on the couch and watch anything I want. I can eat peanut butter toast and throw some to the dog. I can drink lots of coffee. I can stay warm and dry. I can do the crossword puzzle. I can try to do the crossword puzzle. I used to be smarter and could do the crossword puzzle. Or I just had a better attention span. Or, I had an attention span. Where did that go? The attention span of a gnat is what I have. Although, when you think about it, a gnat has a pretty good attention span, I guess, because they are always very intent on biting me and they don't seem to give up. I have the attention span of a rock. They don't really have one is the point I am trying to make here. Rocks have zero attention span. I have taken one geology course about 30 years ago, so I have the credentials to make that statement. Rocks have zero attention span. That would be the extent of my seminar on that subject and then everyone could have a lunch break for the rest of the day. The dogs are warm and snoring nearby. The frost is on the ground and on the windshield. I will have to scrape the windshield or at least make a big enough hole in the frosty windshield to see until the rest melted. I love watching the ice melt on the windshield. I always wonder if I could get pulled over by the police for driving with just a small peephole to see the road. "But officer, I could not find my ice scraper and I like to watch it melt." I'm sure I would get a ticket. Where are my running gloves? I've had them for about 8 years, and never lost them. Until now.
Time to get off here and go for a run through the woods.
Are you trying to say that it is easier to stay home than run? If you are, I totally get it. Actually, you had be at the small frost free hole. I thought I was the only one that liked to watch the frosty hole melt.
ReplyDeleteI think that is what I was trying to say. As soon as I wrote this, I wanted to delete it. But I went through the effort, so there it is. Those were the thoughts I had when I was thinking about going out into the cold to run. Once I got out there, like always, it was great. I love to watch the ice melt, btw. - Bobbo
