Since I've been mopey and cranky about not being able to train (especially tonight, when I wanted to get a swim in and discovered that NO ONE in my condo building knows the code to the pool, then drove all the way to the Garden Hills pool to discover that non-members are denied access after 5pm), I've decided to take note of the positive things about NOT running for two months:
- I can sleep late on Saturday mornings for the first time in nearly a year.
- No more Friday night bagel runs to Einstein's and no more of that gross onion/cinnamon/garlic hybrid bagel smell in my car.
- I don't have to run the entire month of August--arguably, the hottest month of the year.
- Significantly less laundry, which means I'm doing my part to conserve water during this neverending drought.
- I'll have to buy one fewer pair of running shoes this year, a savings of $90.
- Significantly fewer impulse purchases at the Big Peach.
- I can drink as many margaritas as I want on Friday nights.
- I get a reprieve from the smell of Body Glide as it warms.
- I actually have time to see my non-running friends.
- No more getting up at 6am to beat the heat for Monday morning track workouts.
- More time in the pool. And more even tan lines!
- Did I mention Friday night margaritas?
