"If I knew what would make me happy, I think I would probably try to do it."

Direct quote from yours truly.

If I knew what would make me happy, I THINK I would PROBABLY TRY to do it?

What kind of defeatist language is that?  

Let's try again, dummy:

If I knew what would make me happy, I'd do it.

Dammit, Nike!

you're right

Like my friend's advice of "If you keep asking yourself the same question, you're asking yourself the wrong question" ["why do I feel so tired and lazy all the time?"], I file this under Running.

I haven't reeeeeeally run since the marathon… in October.  I've made a couple half-hearted attempts to get back and even done a 5k race or two, but blaaaaah, is what my brain said.

But my brain is stupid.  

If I don't run, I don't get up "early" (8am is early for our family).  If I don't get up early, I don't get any time to myself.  If I don't get any time to myself, I go something something.

I've been asking myself (here's Babs' advice at work!) why I've been so crabby with the little ladies and The G and why I've been so unproductive and sleepy for months.  It took me until LAST NIGHT to figure out my 3 months hiatus from running was making me nuts.

Of course, it might not be running for everyone (although I can't recommend enough the idea of sweating once a day, it seems so cliché BUT IT'S TRUE!), but like I was talking about Friday, what is it that makes you crazy if it's not in your life?

A) Get more of That in your life.

B) Keep getting That, even if you think it's too much trouble.

C) Get over it; it's not too much trouble.

hey, dummy
