My running shoes have lain moldering away. I'm not even sure I remember what they look like. I know I have been making plans to replace them and they are getting rather dirty but those are not the the reasons they have been sitting almost long forgotten. I haven't had a run since Sunday. Talk about neglect. Talk about talking big and letting it all fall by the wayside. I should have known that as soon as I laid out a plan to follow I would just as quickly not follow it. I should have known. This isn't about the shoes.
I'm trying to feel bad about missing runs this week. That would be my usual pattern about now. I am having passing thoughts about these missed runs and how they have collapsed everything I've done so far. I'm trying to think that it has messed up the entire plan I had set up to this point and that it needs to be scrapped and nothing can be done about it again. I seem to be trying, but no. Not this time, of course not, it doesn't. Maybe I'm just too tired to make a big deal out of anything right now. Or maybe I'm not going to waste the energy to try to re-figure what already has been figured, caulk up the missed runs to missed runs, and take up where I should be. I think that is what I had in mind. It isn't about the plan or missing the plan or following it to perfection (even though that is the way I would prefer it to go). Maybe it is about those shoes in the closet. Pulling them on, lacing them up, scooting on down the street and pounding some pavement. I need a plan for that?
