The alarm went off this morning and I thought to myself “oh crap, I forgot to turn my alarm off before the weekend”. . .
Silly me. It’s friday, not saturday. mleh.
I guess I’ll have to work another day to get to that magical place we call the weekend. Best get going.

I adore this time of year. . .driving up and down the GW Parkway to and from work, taking a second to notice the greening of the world. . .to gaze across the potomac toward the tidal basin and see shades of pink peeping out from the cherry blossoms. Of course, I don’t have allergies, so that makes this time of year slightly more pleasant for me than for those who suffer. It’s such an alive time of year. The sun begins to shine longer, warmer and brighter. . .the air feels fresh and clean. . .makes me long to be outside instead of holed up in my office being all creative and stuff. Not that I’m sad doing what I’m doing. . .I just wish there were a few extra minutes in the day to get outside. It’s the busy time of the month right now so breaks are few and far between. ..it’ll balance itself out by tomorrow I’m sure.
I’m hoping to make it back to the gym this afternoon to get in a good 3 mile run or so. . .something to shake out a little energy and get the blood flowing. We’ll see if that materializes. I haven’t been to the gym in a week (even if I did get in a run on sunday). . .i’m feeling a little sluggish. I suppose that’s what happens when you put work before pleasure.

Today was one of the first nice days of the season. . .a heck of a lot warmer than last sunday when I ran the 8K. I had so much fun running last weekend that I thought perhaps I should make a habit out of a weekend distance run (distance for me being 3-5 miles). A chance to lace up my shoes and clear my head. . .enjoy some tunes and the sound of my feet hitting the pavement. A chance to be fit and earn the beers I may want to drink this afternoon while watching the Bristol race.
This weekend’s jog took me around my neighborhood. . .lots of hills. .. some of them vicious. I think I’d like to find somewhere a little flatter for next weekend. Anyhow, this was my course (kind of hard to follow all of the doubling back that I do). I completed the almost 3 miles in just over 31 minutes. .. bring on that next 5K race (I’m doing one in May, there aren’t really enough available weekends in April to get one in). . .and in the meantime I’ll keep up my timed running at work a few days a week (most likely on the treadmill) and my step class. . .I’m going to look good for all of these weddings I’m in this year:).
An ice cold Miller Lite and a little NASCAR beckon.
