I was going to get up at 5:20, but then I woke up at that time and it was cold in my room, so I ended up bundling back under my blankets, of course telling myself that I'd get up soon,
but then I fell asleep until 6:59.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to go anymore, without the anonymity of being out while it was too early for most people to be paying attention to anything, let alone awake, and without it still being partially dark. But I got up, tugged on sweats and a couple tanktops, socks and a pair of runners I've had for like 3 years, but have only been worn like 3 times that I remember.
It was cold, and for a long time I just walked, trying to figure out which way I was going to go.
I didn't want to run the way I walk the dog, because it's mostly flat. But I started heading that way... because there's this one park with a tiny tiny tiny bit of trees and this path, and whenever I walk the dog past there at night I feel like something is watching me, and in my imagination it's always some crazy fantasy creature. But anyway. I kind of just zig zagged for a long time, because I went up my street and then down the street next to mine (because I decided to head to the one park) but then I changed my mind and went up the street by the wal-mart, and kept going up because it's a hill. And I ran up most of it, then cut across to this park where I used to go for picnics with my classes in elementary, by these tennis courts. And so I ran down there, and then I went down this paved path that goes up to this other part of the park that has soccer feilds and where a pool used to be, and then I went back down that path and down the one path I walked with Tyler and got those awesome pictures, in the foresty area...and then I went down th e paved area that used to be the half way point for walking gowri home, next I just ran down the bit of street after that, through the catwalk, and back down my street.
I didn't run the whole way, but most of it. And when I did, I was running hard.
I think tomorrow I'll sleep in and opt to go on the thing we've got in the foyer, and then the next day I'll run again. A more reasonable time, 6:45 maybe.
I just like running, it's great.
Once I finally got going, I didn't want to stop.
It was like my legs didn't really exist, and I didn't really exist,
and I was just going and going and going, and there's music playing and this just rained in the forest mixed with a ripe berry smell, and the air was just so thick...but it was great. And the ground just disappeared beneath my feet, and I was just...gone.
I didn't have to think, and I would've just gone on forever but my body isn't used to this again, yet. It will be soon. I think one of the things that's going to get me through the summer will be running and things like it. And books. Speaking of those, I've got to go to the library soon. I've got 1.5 left to read. =/
Finally heard from dollface, so that's great.
Just waiting for a reply, but whatever.
If it takes a while that's okay.
Going to go grab a hot shower now, and then maybe make something to eat.
I made some oatmeal shortly after I got in, but I'm still kind of hungry.
And thirsty. But I all ready drank a lot of water, and I don't want to do that thing that can happen when you drink too much water too fast, and then like..it just messes you up.
IDK.
Today will be a good day to play dragon warrior IV.
I'm still only on chapter 1. =/
