Giving Up

Mood: Grouchy
Music: Enya – Miss Clare Remembers
Food: Blueberry Scone & Coffee
Setting: Work

Alright, I think it’s time to throw in the towel on these morning runs. It’s just too dark out there, I’m talking pitch black, can’t-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face dark. I’m planning to do what I did last winter: head to work early, knock out the day, then hit the trails for an evening mountain run. Less “early bird catches the worm,” more “evening owl avoids face-planting in a tree.” Honestly, I was already itching to dust off the mountain bike the other day. And any day now, it’ll be ski season, so maybe I should just wait and swap out my trail shoes for skis.

Right now, I’m sitting here with my scone and coffee, trying to summon that elusive burst of ambition everyone talks about, the kind that makes you feel productive. (Spoiler alert: not feeling it yet.) If it doesn’t show up soon, I’ll settle for just getting through the day. Tick-tock, tick-tock… I woke up with a raging headache around 4 or 5 a.m., so that’s probably not helping either.

Hope y’all are faring better out there. Here’s to surviving ‘til quitting time.
