Better today.
Had a good day yesterday with minimal drama and unhappiness!
And we did get a tree.
I guess I was just getting filled to the top with distress about this and that.
And things really are not that bad. Yes, other people can be demanding, but the truth is, my strongest commitment is to myself.

That's just the reality of life for me, now days.
The good news is? Back to another strong week of workouts.
34 minutes to WAMU and back on Gilman Blvd.
I cannot WAIT until I hit the end of Gilman Blvd.
Jim was awesome last night - he wasn't really trying but he offhandedly complimented me without realizing it.

He pointed out that when I began, I was hitting 33-35 minutes. (In the VERY beginning, I was running about 40-45 minutes to far less, but I digress).

I've maintained this and continued to push my distance further out. It is SUPER exciting. I mean, I know this is true, but it gets hard to notice when you're just going. My improvements have been healthy, gradual, and consistent.

He affectionately calls me a runner. I suppose that's true. :P
But it still has the effect of causing squee when I realize it.
My improvement over the past few months has been pretty steep.

More later.

I promised nobody on the phone last night I'd begin to stop being a fuck and actually post on LJ because (this cracks me up, it's the same reason I used to love LJ so much) that way it keeps her idle brain occupied while she's at work! Hah. Thank goodness for nobody. And nobody's response to my post yesterday... frankly, how does she know just what to say at the right time? I publicly announce that nobody else can replace nobody.
