Ugh

I woke up yesterday morning at 5am. I was dressed and outside by 5:15. Boy, was I tired. And when I stepped outside, it was cold and windy. WINDY. Like I imagine Chicago, windy. So I turned around and went back inside. I knew it was a bad idea, but I did it anyway. Yes, after getting up and getting dressed, I went back inside and went back to bed for a whole 30 minutes.

Yesterday afternoon I drove to San Jose (an hour) to meet up with a friend (St. Paul of the Scree Slopes) from Portland. He was in town for One Night Only on business. So I drove up, went to the teacher store (where I scored BIG with big paperclips, an awesome green and beige metal Swingline stapler, dry and wet erase markers, a box of 100 transparencies for $6, and more manilla folders than even I might be able to use up in the rest of the year) which happened to be a few blocks from St. Paul's place of employment. Then we met up with his sister, hit the Trader Joe's (essential in San Jose) and had dinner. I didn't get back home until 11pm. Long day.

I didn't even try to get up at 5am this morning. But I did get home by 4pm so I could change and go running. I didn't make it the foull 3.5 though. I crapped out around 2 miles and walked home (maybe 1/2 mi?). So, I did get out and get some exercise, but it was not ideal. I do need to run the full 5 tomorrow (big sleep tonight). Also going to try to hit up the rock gym on Sunday with the bowlers.

I gave myself a sticker (I use motivational stickers on my calendar) for today, but it's a "Keep Going!" sticker, not an "A+" or "Great" sticker.
