Today's one of those hard days. You know what I mean by hard days: the days where you definitely have stuff you should do, you have to do, but it feels harder than normal to do those things. Things like doing schoolwork, cleaning the kitchen... and most of all, eating right and getting exercise. It's just HARD today.
I had... HAVE... every intention of getting out on the trail today and running. But I woke up this morning at 5am with all this, well, GUNK in my head. Gunk that must have traveled along my throat at some point, because my throat was super-sore. My nose was stuffy. My sinuses felt packed with cotton. UGH. I took a nap later in the morning and woke up, miraculously, without that sandpaper-throat feeling... but I still feel kinda draggy and stuffy-headed. Do I run? Do I not? I don't know. I'm not terribly sick, so my inclination is to say it's okay. But my body has other ideas.
And when I get sick, do I want to eat healthy? Nah. Luckily, I have so far today. But I just now saw this commercial for these really delicious-sounding chocolates, followed by a pizza commercial, and yeah, I want me some pizza and chocolate. I'm trying to jolt myself back to reality by attempting to picture those slices of pepperoni and truffles laid directly on my hips, thighs, and stomach, but it's not really working to keep me from wanting it all!
It's almost 5pm, and I still have at least two hours of daylight ahead of me. I am reminding myself that I have never regretted getting outside and exercising, though I have occasionally wished that I would have gotten out on those days I chose to stay inside. But that packed-head feeling is making me wonder...
