I swear I do run...

just not this week. NEXT WEEK'S THE WEEK. actually i'm planning a longer run this weekend, and someone will probably kick my butt if I don't get up to run the same time he does, so i'm sticking to it this time.

this week has been weird. monday is a rest day for me, and since I was exhausted from the weekend I pretty much crashed at like 9:30. I was all set to run on Tuesday and then I had the stomach queasiness from hell and lost my afternoon coffee. I laid down on the couch at 7:30 for "just one minute" to see if my stomach would settle down and ended up falling asleep for 45 minutes. when I woke up I decided it would be best for me to just forget about eating dinner (since I wasn't sure if I could keep it down, anyways) and go back to sleep. after sleeping for almost 12 hours straight I felt quite a bit better and found out on wednesday morning that the out of shape guy was also battling some serious stomach issues, as was my dad. Since I was partially lazy and partially still not feeling at 100%, I avoided running on Wednesday with promises that I would get my run in on Thursday. yeah...

a text to jayhawk to see if she'd like to join me on my evening jaunt was met with a dinner invitation instead, since she had had a stressful and draining day. Mike was still not feeling all that great, so Barb and I went to a cute italian place for some yummy pasta and split a bottle of wine. she then punished me for not running by making me watch "so you think you can dance?" for a good hour and a half. it was... yeah. at least they gave me beer and jellybeans to ease the pain. :)

so, to sum things up, this week I was lazy, sick, and blew off running to go drink with barb and watch questionable tv shows. it's totally like, the story of my life.

next week i'll be better, I promise.

GUESS WHO GETS TO PHOG-SIT THIS WEEKEND?!
