A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

I woke up this morning, looked outside my window, and thought to myself "Gee, it's lovely, I should run."

My conflict was that I had slept in a little, and had errands to run that would cut in to my running time. *click* Why don't I run to do my errands? Duh.

So today, I suited up, and jogged to City Hall to pay my power bill. It was a very short loop (just under 1.5 miles), but that didn't matter to me. A short run is still a run.

Oh and that friend I had mentioned earlier? Admitted that she's a little bitter, but also thinks it's pretty cool I'm running now. And she seems genuinely interested in how I'm doing. She even invited me to go running with her and her running partner on Sunday! They do about seven miles of hills...I politely declined. People have said that it's not a "friendly" thing to do - admitting that you're upset and not happy with a good decision another friend has made - and I agree. But it's also not friendly to pretend that you're supportive of someone when in fact you may be a little pissed. And I appreciate this friend's honesty. She keeps it real. Thus, I know she's being genuine when she says she thinks it's cool.
