1. I find it strangely exciting to purchase and wear new athletic socks. I always get the ones that hit below your ankles. I have two new pairs, and they have little clocks on them. I suppose the clock is supposed to inspire me to run faster.
Even more ridiculous: Last Thursday while at work, all I wanted to be doing was running. I'm training for a triatholon in May (a baby one), and I'm working up to running for 30 minutes straight. Right now I walk and run. It is strangely satisfying. I can't believe I'm looking forward to running. I hope that works for me the day of the race. I imagine it will be quite hard to look forward to running after swimming and biking.
2. Summer really is coming. The Sox opened the season today! Granted, it was a dismal performance. Really Schilling, only 4 innings? Against the Royals? Although if anyone is due, it's KC. But 7-1?
Regardless, I was really excited. I missed you New England Sports Network and your Aflac commericals! I can't wait until my lawn looks more like the infield and less like hay. My crocuses did pop up this weekend.
Hope springs eternal.
