Sleeping In
Ever hit a tipping point where it becomes very clear very quickly what you should be doing? Totally happened on Friday. The hard part is enacting it. *sigh*
Why do so many milestones in life end up happening so quickly? It's a little odd to watch everyone who I grew up with having these life changing experiences. First, it's the marriages, now it's the begining of the babies. BABIES! It's oddly an emotional time for me. I don't know if it's because I don't understand why you would want to have a kid, if I feel like I'm being left behind in life, or is it that I'm jealous and want that life too? It's very confusing and I feel very mixed up. I feel like I"m mixed up in the same way that I felt mixed up at 16. It's odd how cyclic life is.
The weirdest part is that the struggle doesn't change - but what you are struggling over does. First you learn to walk and talk, then the struggle is to learn to drive, then you struggle over relationships... maybe struggle isn't the right word - but rather focus or concentrate effort, fixate. You get the point.
I had a great run today - first time I did a 5K without having a walking break half way through. Read: Major milestone in my running. Slower than my 5K yesterday overall - but no walking!!!!! I'm thinking of trying to run a 5K race... there's one in here at the end of October. Anyone wanna come walk and we can go drinking afterwards (it's sponsored by an Irish Pub...) We could pretend like it's Halloween. The bad part - is that somehow I started getting a blister on the arch of my foot. The ARCH! So I have to figure out something to not have that continue.
Today was the begining of college football season. I'm really sad that Notre Dame lost... they've got a rough row to hoe though with a lot of really good players graduating last year. This is the part of th eyear that I wish I had cable so that I don't miss any good games.

Sucks about ND. I never mind seeing them win if they aren't playing Michigan. Everyone knows what happened to my maze and blue. In fact they now hold the record of being the only division 1 ranked team to lose to a division 2 unranked team. Nice record to have.
