I forgot to run. I have never forgotten to run. I've been easing back into my running routine and have found myself with more time and energy to devote to non-athletic endeavors. I threw myself into a list of projects and tackled them with wild abandon. I had at least four projects going at once, and my debit card was smoking hot. Yesterday morning I focused on getting that last can of spray paint necessary to finish painting wicker porch furniture a lovely fern green. While walking though the garden section of my local home improvement store, it hit me: I forgot to run this morning. I stopped and contemplated what to do. My first thought was to run when I got home. And, then I thought there will be plenty of other mornings to run. I was talking with a runner friend last night over chocolate cake at her house, and we both acknowledged we continue to be driven after our race. We can't slow down. She decided to just keep running. I decided to take it easy and delve into projects, which no one cares about except for me. I cannot afford to keep up this pace of home improvement. My friend has felt compelled to do the same with her time and energy, expect she choose to lace up because it is the most economical activity. I totally agree. I will turn my focus to running, and I'll appreciate it all the more.
