Signs of aging

Today's static stats:
Running: 0
Sugar consumption: below average
Weight: probably great than yesterday due to L's birthday celebration

The only circles I ran today were in my head. :(  It was strangely 65 degrees, which is perfect running weather.  After much debate, I decided to skip my run today.  This is all due to my falling while attempting to ski last weekend.  My hip flexor was spastic all morning and my back is all out of sorts.  You see this is why I would rather not ski.  I would rather be able to run on warm days in February vs. sliding down a hill attempting to ski for half a day.  UGH...Ski slope you tempt me by your newness and fluffy marshmallow snow but not for long.  In time the sun will shine and your slopes will be nothing but dead grass and I will be running happily in the sunshine of the spring.  So take that ski slope!!! 

Perhaps the real reason for missing my run today is due to old age.  I fell a week ago today and every day since my back has had a different sort of pain.  For the first half of the day I was convinced my aches were from my 8 mile run... but come on give me a break...I'm not that old!  After letting this thought run circles in my head for half the day I finally concluded that I am getting old, but an 8 mile run did not cause this.   This is because when your old you don't recover from falling.  And when your old and you fall down you get injured.  I need chocolate.

You need a ski slope covered in chocolate! That is for sure :) I think your blog is missing a spring countdown. What do you think?

I do need a spring count down, I'm just not advanced enough to put one on my blog. :)
