Another New England Kind of Day
08.16.08
Woke up Friday morning, trudged out of bed, husband and dogs still strewn all over the place, had to start my brick. Heard something, stopped, went over to the french doors, stood there looking outside at the first rainy, or New England day as we say in this house, we’ve seen in a long time. With squinty eyes and a hoarse whisper I said over and over again, ‘I’m training for a sprint, I’m training for a sprint, I’m training for a sprint’. I’m training for a sprint that I could do today, my husband is still sleeping, my furry monsters need snuggling, I’m training for a what? A sprint? Are you kidding me, get your ass back in bed and listen to the rain. And so I did.
I kept thinking I’ll do my brick later, ahh, maybe I’ll just go to the gym, maybe I’ll catch a yoga class, maybe I’ll pop in a yoga dvd….see where this is going? Yeah well I’ll tell ya where it ended….sedentary day. I didn’t do crap.
So today I rise, only to see it’s another New England day…..but no more sedentary lifestyle for me, I’m going to get out of bed and get on my bike…soon…one more cup of coffee. Oh, how I love the rain!
