i wish.

Here are some thoughts I had today, this week, recently.

I wish that running felt as good as it did a few months back. I have never been able to go very far or very fast but at least I could run without my legs feeling like my muscles were all tangled up in there. I'm not sure what to stretch or how to fix it. But I'm going to keep trying different things until it goes away. I know I said I was going to take a break from running but it's hard because I really do like it. I miss it when I go just a few days without it. So I'll keep trying.

I wish there were more flat areas to run around my apartment, instead of these rolling hills. Some may argue that it makes no difference but believe me, when you're already at 6,500 feet, hills are not really your friend. At least, they're not my friend.

i wish i could be closer to here, and i wish colorado was this green!

I wish I had time to see all the people I want to see and do all the things I want to do when I go back to Michigan. Fortunately I am going to be there 5 times between late-June and Christmas. So if you're reading this, I promise that if I don't see you on one trip, we'll make it work for another.

I wish I could have a real birthday party like I did when I was 8, and we could all wear leggings and headbands and baggy sweaters and go ice skating and eat pink Lisa Frank cake. (Except we didn't go ice skating because the MSU hockey team was using the ice instead open skate, and we went to a museum instead.)

I wish there was more time in the day to play games. Not just like, Words with Friends or Draw Something but stuff like kickball and floor hockey. There might be adult rec leagues for things like that but lately (and upcoming-ly) I haven't had time in my schedule!

I wish advertisers would stop wasting paper and sending me ads I am never going to read and coupons I am not going to use. Why isn't there an unsubscribe option for things like that?

I wish I had more bookshelves for all my books. And I wish I had more time for reading!

I wish I had known how great it was to go without cable. I dropped my cable last week and now I only have internet in my apartment, and I haven't missed the cable one bit. But then, the internet is pretty glorious.

I wish more people wanted to go sing karaoke and go to baseball games. There's probably other stuff, too, but these are some of my favorite things.

I wish the outdoor pool would open, so I could go swimming. I don't like the indoor pool quite as well and it's never open at a convenient time (for me) anyway...

I wish all of you a happy Thursday - hopefully it's a great prelude to what promises to be a great weekend!
