running: the dawn

Do you ever annoy yourself?

Today was a pretty normal day: prep, teach, prep, teach, eat, teach.  But throughout the day there was something weighing my spirit down.  I felt grumpy.  Well, part of me felt grumpy.  It was like I was split into two different people.  One that was depressed and surrounded by gloom.  Meanwhile the other person was looking around and saying, “Seriously?  I don’t see any reason for the Eeyore attitude.  Buck up girl!”  And the conflict continued for the better part of my day.

Seriously, I got so annoyed with my own “woe is me” attitude I could barely stand to be in the same room with myself.  Which is kinda hard…

Even through the entire 12 miles that I ran today.  I fought spending all that time with myself.  I just wanted to stop and go watch tv (since those people wouldn’t be as Debbie-Downer as I was being).  I seriously couldn’t figure out my problem.

The run helped.  Some.  I’m hoping that a good night’s sleep will do the trick and that tomorrow I will wake up reunited with a happier version of me.
