sometimes (and by that i mean often), i do nonsensical things

like today. i ran 5 miles when i got home from chinese class. this is probably because i wanted to demonstrate at least minimal control over my own life. if i can't control the fact that i still have a meeting tomorrow, i'm not getting paid for another 10 days, i have a chinese test in a week, the clothes i washed 36 hours ago still aren't dry, and my children still don't understand what a yellow (or red) line means, i can at least force myself into shape.

...right?

runs are also the times when i have epiphanies about what i'm doing and why, and when i find a renewed sense of purpose in my life. who knew? today's grand realization was that i need to make myself more lists.

run, joy, run!

and then make some lists!

and then maybe use a blowdryer on your clothes? Just a thought. Then again, 36 hour is a long time. maybe it's too late and you're just going to have to deal with the fact that your clothes are going to be wet forever.
