Guilty Conscience

Don't get all 'riled up...I feel guilty about not running (nothing really juicy).  I also feel a little guilty about not blogging this morning, and it's been nagging at me all day.

On the health side, I'm feeling a little better today - I HOPE I'm on the back side of my illness and will be hoofing it around town again tomorrow.  I have a cough and I'm wheezing some when I breathe, but I didn't wake up with a pounding headache today or puffy cheeks.  Yes, I'm painting an attractive picture of myself (I realize that).  I'm eager to start running again, but I don't want to be overzealous and relapse.  It seems like forever since I've run, and I know it doesn't take long to lose momentum while training. 

More than anything, today I'm a little down.  I haven't run, work is stressful, the weather is lousy and I'm still not healthy...essentially, I hate not operating at one hundred percent, and it's been awhile since I've felt that way.  If I had to pick a color to sum up my feelings today, it would be gray.

That's why I put off blogging this morning.  Even Peter King's "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" didn't come online till well after 12:00 PM.  Trust me, I know.  I check SI.com religiously every Monday and Tuesday morning for his column.

My uncle and I are supposed to go to the Nats/Phillies game tonight, but who knows if the weather will hold off?  I know watching some baseball (regardless of the weather) and spending a little time with him will cheer me up.  I just feel like I need a little pick-me-up to get me out of this "gray" mood.

Here's hoping that there's a break in the weather and in the pollen levels in Washington.

Happy running!
