monday june 23

today i went for a run for the first time this summer and was disheartened, upon leaving my house, to see that my next-door neighbour was sitting on his front porch. i knew that my so-called "fitness level" was at a point so low that my run probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes, which would be pretty embarrassing if he saw me coming and going. sure enough, when i arrived home totally exhausted about five minutes later, my neighbour was still sitting there. i'm sure my short-lived run was the last thing on his mind, but i still made a show of looking disgusted with the rain, which had gotten heavier during those five minutes and could conceivably have been a reason why i was forced to turn around and come home early.
