Ebbs and Flows

As spring kicks in and the weather gets better, I'm finding that my weekly planned activities all seem to be winding down quickly. I've come to realize this is very seasonal... I seem to go through the same thing every spring and fall. Every time, I wonder what in the world I will do with everything coming to an end, but I have yet to have a time where I actually felt like I needed to find new activities to fill my time as it naturally gets filled once again.

Currently, volleyball, wallyball, and my womens bible study will all come to an end in the next two weeks, opening up 3 of my 5 weeknights. However, based on past experience, those will likely soon be replaced with a different bible study, tennis, softball, and beach volleyball. Plus Christina and I have been discussing joining a noob golf league to learn how to play yet another sport. Mario is skipping town, and thus the Cowboy Bebop nights that have filled my empty time lately have come to an end; however, Kelsey Face just ordered all three seasons of Arrested Development, so a new show addiction will take the place of the beboping.

Oh yes, and we will finally complete our 6k run in Chicago two weekends from now, which we have been attempting to train for for months now. Joe asked me if I felt like I'd accomplished what I wanted to with the training for the run. My answer: no, because I still hate running. I even tried to spice things up by running with Christina's dog this weekend, which turned out even worse as she tried dragging me the whole way, and my right leg is now sore and killing me from the effort of constantly pulling her to slow down. Overall, I'd much rather be doing interactive sports or doing a circuit or at the very least be on a treadmill where I can read a book or watch a movie and be distracted from the mundane task. So I'll replace it with some other sort of workout... at least until next year when I've had enough time to once again forget my dislike and force Kelsey to once again sign up for another run ha.

The moral of this story is that life ebbs and flows, things may go, but new things will always take their place. Oh, and never leave things in the fridge.

See you space cowboy....
