Stalking the Stacks with Library Lil

2008-01-24 I don't think the universe is done with me yet. My glasses broke again. They aren't broken forever, I just can't get the lens to stay in. So I'm wearing my old glasses, which I think are ugly. No one has noticed (or at least said anything) so maybe they aren't that bad. At any rate, I feel like the one thing I really really want to do this year (pay down my credit card debt--oh hell pay off my credit card debt) keeps having roadblocks. I'd love to get new glasses, but even with my insurance, we're talking $100. I'm going back on Feb 4 with the man for his eye check (they dilate his eyes, so I'm going to drive him home--I'm sweet like that) and so I guess I'll have them try to fix them again. I'm almost desperate enough to super glue them in. Almost. Then again maybe I'll look at the cheap frames in Feb.One of my other resolutions--to run a 5k in less than 30 minutes is also not going well. I haven't been able to do 3 miles on the treadmill--I hate the treadmill. I've been watching TV, which helps more than listening to podcasts, but I'll be glad when it warms up enough to run outside. A few weeks ago I ran outside, a course that mapmyrun.com said was 3 miles. I didn't take my stopwatch, but I was home 35 min later. I didn't feel too bad either--until the next day. Speaking of which, Dr. Mom wants me to run in the St. Patrick's day race the neighboring town has (with her). I'm not sure about a March race, it feels like that might be chancing snow. I was thinking I'd do the baseball race in April, but maybe I'll do the March race. She said it is fun. It would probably also give me some much needed motivation too. Perhaps if I knew a race was coming up I'd run more often and try to get up to 3 miles on the treadmill. I guess I psych myself out a lot because I MUST be running 6mph, and yet on the treadmill that feels so fast. Am going to try to go to yoga tomorrow--I can't even believe how much I miss it when I can't go. I can't believe how out of sorts I feel. And I really can't believe that knowing all that, I don't do more yoga at home. I need to remember that it helps to do even a little. |
