Crappy weather.... And an exercise addiction?!?

It's raining, and it hasnt stopped all day. According to the BOM website. it was only supposed to rain in the morning. Well they got it wrong.

I feel really disappointed to tell you the truth. I dont know if I should just put on my running gear, a hat and just go - but I dont want to end up getting a cold, not this close to Christmas and my holiday. To make matters worse, Penni is following me around the house and looks at me as though it is my fault she hasnt gotten out for a walk or run yet. Pen - if it wasnt raining we'd have been out by now!!

I guess another reason I am kinda bummed about it is there is a whole heap of stuff I always say I would like to do - eg go to a movie, buy some new clothes, finish my travel journal from my trip to Japan in May, go and sit at Gloria Jeans and drink copious amounts of green tea while people watching - but all these things I say I never have time for. And now I have no excuse, but I actually dont want too - it seems I would rather sit and hold out for a break in the rain to go for a jog... Am I crazy?!?! I think I have become addicted to exercise. I feel really low and miserable when I cant do it. Sometimes I am tired or lazy, then something kicks in and I just have to go. I very rarely miss a day of doing something - in fact it would have to have been maybe 6-8 weeks ago. I love doing something, whether its going for a big walk, riding my bike or trying to beat my time on my jogging route - I have to do something.

OK - here is my action plan. I am going to go for my jog and get wet no doubt. Come back for a hot shower then go shopping. I might actually drive to Westfield - the first time in months. Normally I walk, do what I have to do and walk back - around 30mins each way. I might even take my travel journal, find a coffee shop and write, or maybe I'll go see a movie. I might even buy some new clothes - or maybe just some new tea (my indulgence!!).

I have just told Penni to get ready and anyone would think she's just won the lottery! Oh dear, I just looked out the window and its getting darker. I might just have to jog on the treadmill instead - and break her heart. Damn rain.

I'm back and just wanted to tell everyone I went and jogged! I didnt get rained on but it was windy! I decided to jog further than I normally do and today it took me 50mins exact (well and 4 seconds!). I did feel like I was going to collapse when I stopped though! Nothing a rest and a cold bottle of water couldnt fix!! 6.5 bonus points for me for the day!
