I have been doing a lot of thinking these last few days, maybe it's the weather who knows, so sorry to get all sappy on you, but it's been on my mind all week. Life truly is all about perspective. After my run on Saturday I started thinking I really should stop running because "I have to" and start running just because I can. I should realize that I take little things like this for granted every day. That there are so many people out there who physically can't do what I am doing, and that I really need to take the time to appreciate that. I had planned on going for an extra run on Sunday, but it turned out to be super duper cold, and I turned out to be super duper hungover... whoops.
I absolutely, positively, with all my heart HATE THE COLD. So much so that I spent 2 winters down south, which were the two greatest winters of my life. Don't ask me why I live in Wyoming, it's a long story. Yesterday while I was going to lunch and watching it snow and I started to mumble and grumble in my head about how crappy it was I stopped myself and changed my attitude. We have had a TERRIBLE drought the last few years and we desperately need this moisture, I have a job inside where I don't have to work in cold, I have a nice warm cozy house, and I have a car that keeps me safe in this nasty weather. I realized I had A LOT to be grateful for. It's easy to get caught up in the bad of everything, or the ho hum of everyday, but if you take the time to adjust your attitude it can turn around your whole day.
Anywho... It's still snowing so the pouchie and I have been hibernating inside today. I had plans to do Zumba on Monday night along with my 3 mile run, Cardio Kickboxing and Zumba last night, and Zumba and a 3 mile run tonight.... but Mother Nature had other plans. Because of all the snow and yucky weather the gym has been closed womp womp.... I should of gotten my butt to my apartment gym, but that hasn't happened either. Monday I was just in a sleepy funk and it wasn't going to happen, and yesterday they hadn't been able to do any snow removable, plus the wind/snow was blowing about 100 miles an hour so even getting to our little gym wouldn't of been easy. Today our maintenance guys have been by TWICE with the snowblower plus they have shoveled (which I am very grateful for) so I should be able to make it to the gym tonight :-) Sorry for the crazy post so far this week, but I promise to be back to normal by the next one
