Three Things Thursday

Day # 214 ~ 3.5 morning miles

Tired.
I have been tired for the past week and a half.  With all the extra activities of the holidays I am not surprised.  I do wonder if all the running-in-one-place has anything to do with it?
Not the fact that I am putting in extra miles (hello!  HBBC points!) but the fact that I am not getting outside to run.  Winter storms, wind and a sick LBM have kept me inside for 10 days now. 
I think I get something from running outside that simply moving my body in the same motion inside does not give me.
I hope tomorrow morning to finally end the running-in-one-place streak!


Trying.
I am trying to be more creative.
I made this wreath for my mom. 
Shhh!  She is my secert sister for church. 
She sews and makes quilts for new babies in the area. 
I think it needs more balls on it.
What do you think?



Timing
I had to take cat who still has no name to the vet yesterday.  Then I get a call from our sitter that LBM is complaining that his lower back hurts.  She called and told me this yesterday also however that evening he only showed the same symptoms that he has had, runny nose, coughing and flushed cheeks.  But this call she felt he needed to go to the doctor. 
I work.
But being the good mommy, I promptly called the doctor who of course wants my money felt it would be a good idea to take a look at him.  So I left work with a mountain of papers on my desk to run to the doctor.  Great I thought, I can also pick up the cat from the vet and not make a special trip.
I thought what great timing!
Of course, LBM turns out to be just fine.  A cold.  Watch his coughing, keep him hydrated, take his temp, blah blah blah.
We go to the vet.  They are just now working on cat. 
No LBM we can't see cat.  He has to spend the night.
Oh and we can't pick him up tomorrow....
by 4:30.
Great.  I work until 5:00.

  5. I'm sure you're onto something with the need to get outside...something therapeutic about it. I love the wreath--I think you get major creativity points! Hang in there with the hectic schedule.

  6. Isn't that work things a P.I.T.A! Gets in the way of all the fun.

    Running in one place just isn't the same. Hope you can get outside soon.

  13. I was just thinking yesterday how outside running does a little more for me than a treadmill ever can. I think the wreath looks great! Hope everyone feels better soon.
