I dreamed of working out last night.
Don’t ask.
You’d think I’d at least get something a little more enjoyable. Or naughty. But oh, no. I am working out during my deepest slumber.
The alarm rudely went off at 4:30 a.m. (my alarm is very rude in case you are curious) and guess what? It was time for me to — you guessed it, exercise. The radar was lit up off to our west, so I tweeted Fox 40’s morning meteorologist Lindsey Slater for an ETA on the storms. She said that I had time to go run. Getting caught three miles from the house during an electrical storm is never fun. So I hustled outside and began to run. Fast.
Today’s a new day for me. My boss and coworker in the editorial department are now gone. Retired is what they call it. But my world has changed — again. I have no idea what I will be doing or if I will be doing what I am good at. Like everything the past couple of years, I wake up to the morning wrapped in uncertainty. So I had to get in a longer run. I needed the endorphins.
I ran 5.06 miles in 50 minutes. I threw in lots of hills and said a few prayers along the way. It was humid this morning, a sample of what is yet to come this summer.
I have no idea what today will bring. My support structure is fractured. But my legs are strong. I will succeed no matter what it thrown at me. How do I know? I just do. I’m confident because I exercise.
You must eat Prilosec by the handful. Thinking of you. I have never met anyone so bent on making lemonade out of ca-ca. God bless!
