Oh look, a new tag!
I felt like total crap this morning, and I could not figure out why. I worried that maybe it was anxiety creeping up on me again, or that I was getting sick.
Then I went for a bike ride with Rachel and went out to my parents' house for dinner and gardened a bit with my mom and lo, all was well. And I realized that I'd been feeling like crap because I have been lazy as hell for the last week. To be fair, I have been semi-busy with shower-planning stuff, but that was not so all-consuming that I couldn't have fit in some exercise.
I've known for several years now that if I fail to get enough exercise, it makes me feel like crap. You would think that would motivate me to make a point of getting enough exercise, but you would be wrong.
Speaking of that, I am going to need to start getting a little extra exercise, because I just signed up to run the TC 10 Mile. I won* one of the guaranteed spots after doing the TC 1 Mile last month and I'd been hemming and hawing about signing up but in my post-bike-ride haze I was just like, "Fuck yeah, running! HERE IS MY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION." I'm glad I did, though. I think having that as a goal will keep me motivated this summer.
* Via a random drawing, by pure chance, and not as a result of my performance in that one-mile race (which was pretty abysmal).
