I need a nap

My Christmas vacation screwed up my sleep schedule. I slept nearly everyday until 10am, and now 3 days back into the swing of things at work and I can’t haul my butt out of bed to get up and run. I haven’t run since my 5 miles on Monday. I want to run. I need to run. I love to run. I feel better when I run. But, here we are. I struggled with getting out of bed in the morning. And I know myself; I will not run after work. It just isn’t going to happen. So if I can’t do a morning run, then I do no run. It’s as simple as that.

I’m off tomorrow and Monday. Last vacation day of the year, and I get the “holiday” off on Monday. I’m going to try to get back into the rhythm of going to bed early and getting up early to run. Its the only way.

In other news, I’ve been talking to another guy on match. I told him I’m ready to meet him, so I’m trying to decide when to do that. This weekend is no go, thanks to the New Years Holiday, but I think early next week should be fine. He seems like a nice guy. So, we shall see.

I’ve also decided to call Nateย after the holidays are over, if he doesn’t call first. We had a good time, he said he wanted to see me again, and I liked him. So I’m going to be proactive in my love life, and seize the day. You miss 100% of the shots you never take, right?

I’ve seen some people’s 2012 goals on my dashboard. My resolutions always used to be fitness related. Lose weight, exercise, eat better, etc. I’ve done that now, completely changing who I was before I lost 150 pounds to who I am now. So that’s not on the list. Last year, I resolved to stand up straighter, and have better posture. I’ve tried to work on that. This year? I don’t know. I have decided that one of my long term goals, to be accomplished in 2013, is going to be run a full marathon. And if I’m going to do it, I might as well do a destination marathon. I’ve settled on the Honolulu Marathon! Its held in December, and I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather go run 26.2 miles than Hawaii! ๐Ÿ™‚ Now, I start saving my money.

I hope you all have a fantastic day friends!
