Reluctance Won This Week

I haven't done any running this week. Horrible. I'll be getting up tomorrow to at least get one run in before the week is over. And to find out about the news I heard that my gym (little, family-owned, kinda grungy) got bought out by the Athletic Club group (brand new, swanky, built the new gym across the street from my gym, grr) and our memberships are transferring over. I think I'll miss my comfortable little place. I guess I'll adjust, sigh.

In lieu of running news, I'll share my weird CTA experience of the day: I worked late, and got on the bus (22 Clark) around 6:30. A few stop after me, a guy got on. I don't know why I noticed him, but I did. I got off a few stops from home to go to the bar to see Greg and get dinner. I hung out for a while, then grabbed the first bus that came along (36 Broadway). One stop later? That guy got on the 36! It was odd. I think we might be neighbors, since he got off one stop before me. Big city, small world.

Sigh

I've been struck with malaise. I didn't get out for my weekend run, and I had too much laundry/no clean workout clothes yesterday. I'm bound and determined to go run tonight, and plan to do so outside. There's finally enough sun to break through my crankiness, I think. Wish me luck.

I also just made plans to go to a fancy pants bar tomorrow night with my friend JT. That should inspire me to get up and do a morning run again tomorrow. Mostly because if I hang out with the guy who is the inspiration behind all this and don't run? I'll feel like a total punk.
