I should be sleeping right now. I know I need to and after the shower on Thursday, I will sleep, but not yet. There are favors to make and parties to plan. (more on the shower later.)
Today I was at the gym by 6:15 to run. That is the first ouch. I was still sore from Saturday's pavement pounding. My knees were sore, my big toe on my left foot was sore and the pads of my feet on the right foot were aching. I starting running and was just getting into the groove when I felt it again. Thhe right foot arch, or lack of w/ my flat feet was killing me. I really wanted to push further and at least complete the 3.1 m, but by the time I was at 2.4 I was cooked. I sort of hopped, limped another 10th of a mile and called it quits. I then got off the treadmill and walked over to the track assuming it must be the treadmill, not the new $100 pair of shoes, but by the time I got halfway around, it was cooked. Again. So I listened to the pain for once and stretched for about 1o min and showered. Ouch 1.
It stinks I have to go back to Fleet Feet and return the shoes and go through the process of fitting again, but I know once I find the "one" shoe for me, I won't have to go back. I vaguely remember the girl who fitted me mention she hopes the shoe I picked won't hurt my arches, but I wouldn't be me if I picked a shoe I didn't have to return and actually liked it the first time.
I wonder if you are born with indecisiveness? I will have to look that up. I'm sure it is some sort of a mild brain disorder that falls intot he OCD, procrastination realm. Thanks Gram (lol).
Ouch number two consisted of punishing myself with an hour of Norris' pilates class. I think my muscles are still shaking and it's 11 pm. It was a welcome relief to be forced to breath. I feel taller, stronger and longer already. I hope I can make it to the class more than once a week, ok, at least once a week, ok, or at least put the video on at home... It's just so much more real, duh, effective, to be in the room, live, with no distractions.
So, with two ouches, it sit and make shower favors and know that I will sleep. soon.

IT’S PRACTICALLY December, but like many gardeners I’m already thinking
about spring. One big element of that thinking is how to maximize the power
