i ran today.

It has been since a week ago Sunday. I ran 5k on a treadmill and it sucked. It was harder than it should have been. I blame the tv stuck on Fox News, though. (Ugh. I don't know if I'm more pissed that they think we're that stupid, or that some people actually are.) It was my first workout in a week. Ballet last night was canceled. And I didn't run the 10 on my schedule. Oops.

In the meantime, I've got lots of really good excuses. A head cold. Being exhausted. Not having child care. Ben being out of town. The deliciousness of beer. None of these will get me to the finish line of a race, but they do sort of rule my life. I'm really full of the excuses lately.

While I'm enjoying looking at the snow, it's no big deal for me. I walk to work. I can walk to the stores I need stuff from. I really don't have any reason to drive anyway, so it's all good. I'd love to pull out the skis today. See previous paragraph for reasons why I haven't.

And the news on Elliot - he pets Molly now, it's the cutest. And in an equally important developmental milestone, at Beer Bistro on Monday he reached out and tipped over Ben's beer, breaking the glass and spilling the pint. Luckily it was the PBR and not the Firestone Walker Double Jack on the table.
