i'm feeling okay about not running. it was the right decision, i'm also feeling a little bit inspired. i want to want to run. i want to enjoy it. let it relieve worries and stress. i want to run well and strong. i also have to realize that i am 45 years old, not 25 and my body is limited to what it can do. this is a tough pill to swallow.
so, i have to plan on when to begin running again. it'll be a little bit easier since i love running in the cold. not sure, but i may have a running partner as well. so, i just need to pick a day and start. i've already started back at the gym and the wonderful thing about the human body is that muscles have a memory, my leg muscles (with only 2 days of weight training) feel strong and are toned.
this time, i will start out slow, build up to a weekly milleage of 15-20 miles and try to keep it going for a few months. more time to train will yield a better outcome.

been trying to make sure i get quality sleep but it's a little difficult with a cat in heart failure and another who has taken to urinating on my bed.

almost finished reading Epitaph Road, a good read. waiting for other books to be available (i've placed holds on them). watched the most current episode of Fringe (love that show) and watched the new Hawaii 5-0, that Alex is freakin' hot. (he used to star in Moonlight...as a vampire), also watched the latest available Vampire Diaries episode (Masquerade)and caught up on Smallville...wow what a relief when Clark finally told Lois he was the red/blue blur. those two actors have great chemistry.

so, it's 2:30 pm, i'm heading back to bed for another few hours since i have to work 8pm to 8am. hopefully, it won't be crazy at the hospital. but it's the weekend and lots of crap happens (unfortunately).

ciao!
