didn’t make it out tonight

The 7:10 bus didn’t show, so I ended up on the 7:40, and by the time I got off near home it was already past 9. 90 minutes each way is bad enough when everything runs on schedule.

No trail tonight, obviously. I just stood in the kitchen eating crackers over the sink because cooking felt like too much by that point.

I keep telling myself the 2 run-walk days a week I’ve managed lately are something, but tonight kind of undid that feeling a bit, I guess. Just tired in a way that sitting down doesn’t really fix.

Skin’s been quiet for once, which almost feels unfair given how the rest of the day went. Figures.

Anyway. Just needed to put that somewhere tonight.

the crackers over the sink line got me. after a [12 hour] shift on my feet some nights I can’t manage anything more than that either

that ‘sitting down doesn’t really fix it’ feeling is exactly why long commute nights get me too. my record’s 3 missed sessions in one week before I just stopped trying and went straight to bed instead of bothering with dinner.

that unfair feeling when your skin finally cooperates and everything else falls apart anyway… how long you been doing the run-walk thing

2 months now, I suppose, started it up again after putting it off for years because the doctor kept nudging me toward more movement. it’s only 3 days a week and still mostly walking with short stretches of jogging mixed in, nothing serious on my end.

that 2 run-walk days thing you mentioned, one bad commute night doesn’t erase it, promise. I had a 3 week stretch where I missed every session and still bounced back fine once I started again.
