On my way home from work today, I categorized today as a shit day. Work was unpleasant, I still hadn't heard from Frank, I was tired, and I just wanted to be a grump.
I stopped at Rycheles and had a chat with her, got some tomatoes and blue berries, and went home. I chatted with my mom about how no one notices any of the good things you do, but they will notice, and ridicule the one thing, that may not even be bad, but is at least, half bad. Its a viscous negative world out there, and the sooner one learns to deal with it, the better.
I had a yogurt and some blue berries, then realized I cannot run on an undigested stomach. So I went down to sit on my butt, and start watching Game of Thrones. What a great show! It is very intriguing. The Queen is a bitch, but what else is new.
After the first episode, I gathered enough willpower to run.
So I hopped on the treadmill, and started the second episode and began running at a 5mph pace. I ran one mile in about 12 minutes, and since I was not overly depleted of oxygen, I boosted it to 5.5mph for the second mile.
Around 1.3 miles, I got extremely discouraged and rather down on myself because, as usual, I just wanted to be done! Then, I got a text messaged from Frank's recruiter telling me that Frank's projected graduation date is August 30th!
It was the best news I have had all week! I may only get to see Frank for 12 hours, but that is 12 hours more than I would have if not. I am so happy to be able to go to see him graduate Navy boot camp! After receiving that news, I almost cried because I am a sap, but then I just used the positive energy to finish my last mile!
After my run I felt great! I sweated a lot, but that was awesome because sweating is good!
In our darkest hours, and after the trails, God provides for us! I am so thankful for this news today!
Tomorrow I will embark on another 2 mile stretch!
Xx,
