Stress Relief

I had a pretty stressful day today, so I ran twice! I did 4 this am and then I just did a quick 3 tonight. I really didn't sleep well last night. It's cooler AND I just paid my power bill! Usually it's only 25 to 30 bucks but it was 70 this time! Which makes total sense and I actually plan for in the summer, but still! So I didn't turn on my AC when I went to bed last night. Meaning I was miserable till 12:30 when I finally did turn on my AC! My hamstring still feels better. So maybe this insole thing was the magic I needed? Oh, also lifted weights today. I also blew up a ball we have at the office, and did this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMLhWOHF4Z4&feature=relmfu I only did maybe 4 and my abs really hurt!

Even $70 is a bargain to me! Our electric bill is usually about $140-150 and in July it was $209! Rural coop. Very expensive. Of course, we're running 3 refrigerators and 2 freezers and at least one of our TV's is on 15 hours a day! Can't miss a western you know.

Running twice in the same day is true dedication! I've never done that. I have a ball so I should start using it for something.

Taking a day off here today (Thursday). I've decided I don't need to run 6 days a week every week. The day feels like it's off to a weird start though! We still haven't decided about the Whistlestop Half next month. I'm sure Angie won't run the Half but she would run the 5K or 10K. But I need a couple of longer runs outside and my longest now is only 6 miles last week. So I have to get out there and get on it if I want to do that in October.

Wow, that's so expensive! What is it like in the winter? I suppose that's a gas bill, not electric. Anyway, that would make me sad! Westerns are not worth it! Well, maybe they are.....

I've only done it a couple of times. Mainly for stress relief.

Good for you and I'm sure you're right. It's hard on the body. You are right, you have time to decide.

No, that's not a gas bill. That's our electric bill. and it's never below $125 a month. We heat with propane gas and that's another whole bill! Want to move to Wisconsin?

I do - I just can't imagine my closet under your stairs will cost that much to heat!
