6.21: Make up your mind
It's not Wednesday, but I'm going to talk about running anyway.
I have a well-known dislike of running, as well as a compulsion to do it to avoid feelings of sloth and jiggle.
I run three days a week, typically Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I try not to stray from those days because it messes up Rex's schedule and my motivation. Recently, I've skipped more than rescheduled, for everything from weather to illness to prior engagements.
I'm trying to not do that anymore.
It's Monday, and so I should be running. But then it started to rain, and it's cold, so that's a no. Then it stopped. Then it started. Then it stopped. Then there was lightning. Then there wasn't.
It's like riding a rollercoaster. I don't want to go, but I have to. I have an excuse not to go, but I need to. Maybe it will stop. Maybe it will start again. Ahh!
The weather eventually made the decision for me.
But I'll still feel guilty about it.
