Almost Running

Fluid... organization is necessary at times and something I'm very good at... but organization also can take the fun out of everything... and life usually needs some flexibility... the chance to be fluid. Funny we should talk about fluids, that's how we got here from our "organized" day. Today should have been a promptly scheduled 8am run for 10 miles on either the marathon route or the forest trail. Because yes, I did sign up for that 12 mile trail run at the end of January and haven't run any trails yet. Anyway, bunny trail.... but instead of this scheduled run being done just so, adjustment was needed. Last night was long and this morning I would have sworn Dumbo's pink elephants had been here. Therefore, there was no way I was able (though willing) to run 1 mile, let alone 10 miles. Ahh negotiation time. Maybe I can run either tomorrow or the next day while on vacation? After much contemplation that idea's out. Ok, must do something. Elliptical. Similar to running motion, less effort... comparable. Get dressed, brush teeth, out the door to a 2 hour elliptical wonderland. Turn on the mp3, hit start on the machine, and drift away...
