Seriously, this bridge has been out for 6 years. 6 years it took to replace this thing, and it maybe spans 100 ft. So it finally opened on Friday, I had to run it today! I was a little short of 10 miles, but no big deal. I spent all morning and most of the afternoon on my sister’s roof finding a leak that caused a partial collapse in her kitchen ceiling. I think I found it, really she needs a new roof anyway, but they just got the house, so that’s not an option right now. Tomorrow I will shingle the area I tore off and go from there. Believe it or not I’m pretty handy. The only stuff I’m not confident with is electrical, but honestly it’s just a matter of confidence. Now that I’m older and a bit more patient I think I can handle electrical.
\nSo after all that I went for a nice Saturday run over the State St. Bridge<\/a>. I bonked around mile 7, it’s ok, it was a really hot day, tomorrow will be hotter. While running through downtown I saw a girl who looked kind of like a girl I don’t really like at all. I don’t like people who lead me on. Long story short, I was going too fast at that point to know if it was her, but whomever it was looked kind of shocked to see me, maybe it was her; or maybe a sweaty, bearded guy barreling toward her on a city sidewalk at 6pm was a bit shocking, no idea. At this point my legs actually hurt pretty bad. Worse than normal for sure, being on a roof all morning and afternoon was not helpful. Mentally, I’m thinking about that girl, and others who have led me on and made me feel used and crappy. I don’t like that feeling. As you can tell, I’m a pretty straightforward, from the heart, type. So when people don’t return the favor, it bothers me. I shouldn’t let it, but it does. Pisses me off really, more than I ever admit. I am a big fan of staying real and being honest, yet for whatever reason I keep end up getting attracted to people who are so horribly fake. I need to not be bothered and let it slide. Forgiveness is the one thing I really need to work on, I really suck at it, once I’m mad, I stay mad. It really is not good, I don’t lash out in a particularly bad way, I just don’t forgive people and withhold my awesomeness.
\nWell, that’s my problem, not yours. Do your best and I will do the same. Have fun, keep running, because if Gil can run, then you can you!<\/p>\n
