A piece of peace

This week I've run 26 miles so far. People always ask why I run. I almost always half jokingly half seriously reply that its in preparation for the zombie apocalypse. That's one of the reasons.

Other reasons I run (in no particular order):
- health
- fitness
- fresh air
- the greatness of the outdoors
- annoyances of being indoors with some people
- peace with someone I love (self, duh!)

Today I got up and since I've got work later I normally take my 5-7 mile runs around the hood. There are plenty of trails within running distance and tons more within a 5-10 min drive.

Put down an easy 5 mile jog around the hood, then the trails behind the nearby community college, then back home. Get home, stretch, then up into the apt. Make myself a high protein omelet with 3 eggs enriched with omega3, light tuna, and scallions followed by a cantaloupe half. And of course a ton of water. You'd be surprised how dry you get living at this elevation. So I sit down to catch up on tv I miss cuz of work. I'm all excited to sit, eat, relax, and take in one of my top fave shows: community.

For some reason a roommate takes this opportunity to rustle every single piece of paper, bang every dish/pot/mug, and walk in front of me at least 10 times from when I start counting. Dude wtf? I know you have nothing better to do but please have some consideration for me. You can make as much noise as you want, just try to limit it when I'm home. So annoying.

So I leave and hit up my new coffee spot and am now enjoying a venetian latte (thanks a latte!). I didn't even finish my show! Good thing I can always come back to finish it.

I get so annoyed in that apt. Hopefully things will change soon so I don't have to deal it. I feel like I'm pretty consideration to others but its just like duh?

So yea, I run for a little piece of peace before I have to go to work. I deal with plenty of crap at work and I feel I shouldn't have to deal with it at home.

Here's a pic from a run where I found a hidden reservoir around the hood. It was nice.
