Ally Improves Herself

Or at least that’s the idea. Heh

Those who know me know I’m one of those on-again, off-again runners. I like the way running makes me feel. It relaxes me, energizes me, helps me focus. Sometimes I come up with some pretty awesome solutions to thorny book-related problems while running.

BUT… (and didn’t you just know there was a Big But coming *g*)

… I am easily swayed from the straight & narrow path. I get out of the running habit, and whammo, I’m a slug. Ick.

This time it was the flu. A solid week of 103 fever, hurting all over and hacking my lungs up. After that came a sinus infection, and just to put the diet chocolate sauce on the low-fat sundae of my recent weeks, I got a bladder infection. Argh!

Today is the first day in THREE FUCKING WEEKS I’ve had enough energy and been pain-free enough to exercize. And boy, do I have a lot of work to do to get my saggy carcass in shape again. I want to be able to run five miles like I used to before the last time I slacked off, and not feel like I’m going to die, and I want to be able to do it by mid-summer. Y’all have to kick my ass so I’ll be good and do it!

Many thanks in advance
