Oh. My. God. Whose house is this? It can’t be mine. MY house is spotless. Obsessively-Compulsively clean. This cannot be my house! HOW did this happen? WHEN did this happen? Well the how is easy enough. It happened because running became a new priority in my life. When did it happen? It happened during all of those long runs, Fartleks, intervals and hill workouts.
While running, life and dust still go on. Somewhere along the road, I forgot about this simple fact. Perhaps I was a little wrapped up in my own calming, meditative, running world.
I also think that I’ve become a little mellower as I continue to run. I don’t stress as much about the state of my baseboards or the dust bunnies under the couch because I have bigger fish to fry (i.e. getting faster and running longer).
I guess I’d rather be a happy runner than an anal retentive clean freak anyway. Although maybe I should break out the Swiffer tonight. You know, for old time’s sake…
