Katie, Randy and I after breakfast at Turtle Bread.In typical Heather fashion, I also hurt my knee again. It was already acting rather achy over the last couple of weeks, but I just kept running. The 6 miles sort of put it over the edge. I have to take it easy for a couple days but should be fine. Granted it's never really felt 'good' for the last year, so I'm not overly hopeful.
I have also utterly failed at my attempt to cut out the snooze button from my sleeping routine. I was so good the second week of September. I was going to the gym, taking the bus, getting up on time, getting into work early. These last two weeks (since the return of my car, ahem, my dad's car) I have been hitting snooze like I'm getting paid and driving into to work, usually getting up around 7:30. I start work at 8:30! If I am supposed to be somewhere, somewhere that can take as long as 25 minutes to get to, I should not be getting up at 7:30. But alas, I am and I do. My morning thought process usually goes as follows:
5:45am- feel myself start waking up. Close eyes tighter and hope I have more time to sleep.
6am- alarm goes off. I think for a moment about getting up and going to the gym. I hit snooze and reset the alarm for 6:45
6:45- alarm goes off again. I contemplate and rationalize to my half sleeping self that its okay to drive to work and I can get up a 7. This continues until around 7:30 when I reluctantly drag myself out of bed knowing that I have a job and need to get there roughly on time.
My goal for tomorrow is to get up at 6, go to the gym. I really want to swim, so hopefully this works out. And take the freakin' bus. It took me one hour to get home from work today. 7 miles. One hour for 7 miles. Not cool. It didn't help that it took me almost 20 minutes to just get out of the parking ramp. But 35 was no picnic either. I'm happy the bridge is back, but sad that south bound traffic has increased because of it.
