Greetings fellow cyber surfers,
This is a question mainly for runners, joggers and walkers but it can apply to anyone who does any sort of physical activity. Does anyone do their "thing" out of guilt or feel guilty when they're not doing it?
I feel guilty if I don't run, even on a well deserved day off or if something happens beyond my control and I cannot find the time to do it. I start to feel what I call runners guilt for not running when I know there's no real good reason not to other than I choose not to. Then I start to get the itch and start my guilty run. Right now I feel the need to go running, not because I want to and not because I need to but because I don't have a good enough reason not to. Sure it rained today, it continues to rain now. I ran yesterday so I should be good today. Yet I still feel like I should jump on the treadmill because a rainy day just isn't a good enough reason not too.
Bueller... Bueller... anyone? Anyone else feel like this?
Truth be told I want to play video games. More truth to be told I'm probably going to go put on some shorts and t-shirt and go running. Video games can wait.
Damn... wish I was as adamant about my push ups and crunches as I was running.
*fast forward 5 minutes into the future*
I may not be running on the treadmill. The chinky is going to bed soon and I don't want to go running just for her to go to bed on me when I'm done. I rather stay up with her and then run. But by then it may be too late to run (don't wanna keep anyone up, thin walls and all). Well, we will see what happens.
Be seeing you,
Mr. Brian

Oh yes, of course. I get the runners guilt. Even if I take one day off, to rest my legs, I get that itch and really want to go. Sometimes it works out for me, most times it doesn't. I usually have to find a babysitter, and if she's not available, then I'm screwed. I know exactly how you feel. Understand this, I only have a short window of opportunity. Take advantage of the time you have to go. Once you have kids, that's going to drastically change! Between work, school work, kids, drill, and working around my husbands schedule, there's really only a small window of opportunity for me. Then again, we are all allowed to have lazy days too =)
