Rain rain, go away....

So, I have been in a funk. I hate cold rainy weather, which is all we've had for a week now. No, it was sunny on Thursday for a bit. That was nice. I went for a horrible run then, but at least it was sunny.

The weather has made everything that irritates me 270% more irritating. Including the other person in this house which makes for interesting evenings. I bite my tongue, but seriously dude, for the love of all that is holy and if you want to keep your testicles, turn.down.the.motherf'ing.subwoofer.or.I.will.turn.it.down.for.you.

yes it has been that kinda week.

I'm also frustrated with my quest to lose some weight. It ain't happening...and I was really trying hard. Operative word here...was. I'll still watch it, but really, after 3 weeks of reasonable portions, healthy choices, salads, no dessert...nothing. Not one damn ounce.

A very good friend got some very bad news this week and it has really thrown me. He and I will now have more in common than I'd ever wanted. He lives too far away for me to see him in person right now, but I've been praying for him. I hope he knows that.

I went for a run today with Penny. We did more than 5 miles, which is the longest I've run since December; probably close to year before that. At least without significant walking. The weather was still crappy, and I was cold when I got home, but it wasn't awful and it's on the books. I had to skip my run yesterday because my knee was bothering me. I thought it more important to get in this long run than 3 yesterday. I wish running were easier.

Every once in a while...it feels really really good though. Really good.

I know it's not much, but I was sad that no one noticed on our running forum what I'd posted. Finally my friend mentioned it in his post and that made me happy.

I am really looking forward to running Madison, but I don't know how I will do without a companion. Even bringing the pup with me helps me immensely. Mr E, if you are reading (which is HIGHLY unlikely, seeing as I believe one person knows I have a blog), I sincerely hope you will run with me.

I am very sleepy and sorta hungry, even though we ate supper and I had some ice cream. Hmmm.....
