Procrastination: win!

Miles run: 0
Minutes run: 0

Still no running. Life has sort of got in the way a bit.

I am now mainly sewing, making jewellery and tidying up after the ever more talkative toddler.

I have always been a master of procrastination, a genius at finding excuses and justifications, and I've always been brilliant at getting everything done well beyond the date it was supposed to happen.

Oh dear.

At least I'm staying true to form, eh?

The road to hell...

Minutes run: 0
Miles run: 0

...Is paved with good intentions.

I still haven't run anywhere yet. Well, short of running after the toddler to stop him maiming himself, or running into the road, or terrorising the dog.

I almost ran somewhere - I got dressed up in my running gear- trainers on, headphones just going in... then the childminder rang me and said the todler had a fever, and could I go and pick him up. So I picked up my car keys instead and went to pick him up.

What is it that's holding me back? What is it that is stopping me from just putting my trainers on and going for it?

I'm scared of failure. I'm scared of pain. I'm scared of not being brilliant at something that I used to be very good at. I'm scared of letting myself down. I'm scared of letting everyone else down.

I am lazy. I don't like shaving my legs so I'm not mistaken for an escaped gorilla whilst out running.

I need to stop being so scared, and stop being so lazy, and Just Fucking Do It.
