Weird but Good

This will have to be a quick log as I have to be in class in less than 10 minutes. Just for context, by the time I go home tonight, today will wind up being one of those 14+ hour work days. I was driving downtown tonight to drop some books off at the library. I was feeling tired, a little stressed which for me usually means grumpy. I drove past the gym where I've been running, saw a few runners outside, and the whole thought of being active, getting the athletic gear on, and just being 'out there' running, lifting weights, etc. instantly changed my mood! I immediately focused on going running after class tonight which changed my mood completely just by giving me something to look forward to. I have a lot more energy to bring to class tonight and I'm looking forward to hearing some very smart students present their papers - with enthusiasm! Can't wait to get home, slap on the running shoes, grab a hat (it is COLD tonight) and hit the road!

And its getting colder every day! 22F this morning. I don't think Michigan wants me to go outside.

Man - you've got that right! You know what I've done so far, before the snow starts to fly, is just not take my runs quite as seriously, or at least the ones I do outside. I'm not sure if that's the best way to put it - I just acknowledge that the elements are going to affect my time and leave it at that. My cold-temp runs have been exhilerating as I spend the majority of my day in front of a class room, computer, or group of patients - all indoors!

Hey John - thanks for the comment - LOVED Barcelona, all of Spain really, but Barcelona was wonderful. Always glad to hear from a fellow Barcelona fan!
