A Unmotivated Cinnamon Bun

This week was busy work wise and I didn't have a bit of motivation to to work out at all for some reason. It was awful. The first time I tried, I turned my alarm off, the second time and I totally forgot to set it and then on Saturday I totally blew it off, I even contemplated sleeping with my running clothes on.



I have a feeling what was wrong with me this week. I have an electric blanket and it is so amazing. I can't stand cold weather and I am in love with my electric blanket. It is so hard to get up early when I'm all wrapped up like a cinnamon bun and have to get dressed and run at 5am in dark and cold streets of Garner.


Well of course since I had no motivation this week, something happened that has me now chopping at the bit to run. Yesterday, I saw that one of the dogs pissed at the bottom of the stairs and went down the stairs to clean it up. I didn't realize that the piss puddle was freaking huge and I slipped, fell, and cracked both my knees on the floor. I immediately started to cry because damn it hurt. I was terrified because I was afraid I tore something. The last thing my bad knee needs is a third surgery. Luckily, I didn't tear anything, but it has swelled up and is very tender to the touch. It hurts to bend it, but I know it's going to be fine in a few days. So, now that I know I should rest it and stay off it for a few days, and now I'm just dying to get out there.
