When my alarm went off  at 6:00 this morning, I turned it off and rolled over. I didn’t feel like running. I’m on vacation damn it!

Except when I went back to sleep, I ended up dreaming about running.

When I sat down to write, all I could think about was the run I didn’t do. And now I’m writing about the run I didn’t do.

So, instead of being an hour out of my day, running has now been with me all day.

I will  run today.

And while it will feel like I’m slogging through pea soup because it will still be in the 80s and very humid this evening, running will get checked off my list.

This is what happens when you don’t do something you love. It doesn’t leave you. It just hangs out in your head all day like a pesky younger sibling swinging her legs on the chair in your room while waiting for you to give it some attention.

Just do it!
