Note: No more Scriptures at the start. No more Scripture meditations. That isn’t what this blog (Just A Running Fool originally) is here for. Yes, I might make spiritual asides, because, well, life is all connected and all that jazz, but this is here for focus on my running. I’m not here to preach. I might make another blog on my spiritual ramblings, a la The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola that I’m doing, but I’ll let you all know here when I do for those of you interested. That said, here’s today’s blog:
Today’s run: I screwed up in church today. Too long to explain if you’re not Catholic or of one of those churches that uses the liturgy. But I screwed up and, well, was a little angry at myself, although I shouldn’t have been because well the Mass isn’t about me. (Hmmm. Really? Oops. Sorry, I said I wasn’t going to preach.) So anyway, I left Mass a little early (a no-no, I may have to spend some extra time in purgatory, but I’ll live — just a little more painfully 
, and went home to use my excess energy for a run.
Also I was inspired by a teammate from SparkPeople, whose username is Lybbe1631. This morning, she wrote in her blog at SparkPeople about going for a run outside despite the cold. After only doing one run earlier this week, and that on a treadmill and an elliptical, I figured it was time for me to shut up and run outside. So I did…
I ran around my hometown, my usual route down to the end of my street past Osram past the train station past McDonald’s past Pizza Hut up through the cemetery past the middle school et cetera. I finished on the hill on Morris Lane…which I don’t know if I really like doing: ending on a hill, but I guess it will build endurance as I keep doing it (or so I keep telling myself).
Now I’m home to keep track of my fantasy football team online (that’s what you do when you don’t have TV) later and do my Spiritual Exercises and read the memoirs of Mother Theresa and then…well, who knows? (Maybe I’ll figure out a way not to use so many parenthetical remarks in my writing…hmmmm.)
