It seems I got a little too excited last night after remembering a song I needed to download. It goes a little something like this. I plugged my iPhone into my lap top, downloaded iTunes-( which had been erased along with the entire contents of my hard drive a few weeks ago), didn't read the prompt....then, WHACK! I now have an iPhone with the newest version of iTunes and ZERO music. Oh happy day.
This gives you a little glimpse into my morning cup of tea. I'm also inclined to mention - in addition to the slap on the face from iTunes, I also woke up with a killer headache and what can only be described as a softball size ball of mucus lodged inside my nasal cavity.
Was I one hundred percent excited to run today? No. In Fact, I was dreading it. I stalled for the majority of the day. Mainly because the idea of running without music makes me physically ill. Thankfully I eventually remembered I had an old iPod stowed away in the closet. Score!
With zero motivation, and a hand full of tissues, I decided to make this run a quickie around the neighborhood block. The area of the block I'd never seen. So at least a little bit of excitement. Unexpectedly, what I thought would be a short sad run, turned into the best run of the week! A mile and a half with zero stops! Perhaps it was the nostalgic 2 year old 'Gym' playlist, or the fact that I had taken an antihistamine spiked with caffeine ? Regardless, I made it work! Just had to give myself a little kick in the bum.
When I got home the endorphins commanded me to sign up for another 10k race. I say 'another' because I signed up for one a while back, but backed out because I was a lazy turtle. The race is September 21st. 8 days before my Birthday. No backing out now!
Pictures from the run path. I ventured north of Balls Pond Road for the first time - was pleasantly surprised.
