Tomorrow tomorrow

Why, hello there!

I am getting a massage tomorrow. I am incredibly excited about this. Getting a massage is probably one of my favorite things in the world. My massage is at noon. I don't feel like running after a massage (and it's not wise anyway), so I plan to do a semi-long run in the morning. I am thinking my semi-long run will be about 7 miles...we shall see.

Bill has started reading my favorite book, The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. I'm excited he's reading it because I am interested to hear his thoughts on some of the material presented in the book.

Because of this book (and other stuff I've read), I will make sure to say "I get to run 7 miles tomorrow," rather than "I have to run 7 miles tomorrow." And it's true...if I couldn't run tomorrow, I'd be upset about it, so I shouldn't complain that I HAVE to do it. When I had knee surgery, all I did was complain about how I couldn't run. Now that I can run, it seems ridiculous to complain that I can run. Also, I don't HAVE to run at all. I have a choice. So when someone says, "I have to go running," or "I have to workout," or something like that, I always want to point out that they do have a choice.

Well, that's all for tonight!
