almost there

so it's almost christmas and all. not a devote to the occasion itself but i do like the luxury of having a few days off; especially as the past week or two have been  particularly hectic work-wise. 

today i'm flying to stockholm for a few days to meet a friend i haven't seen in years. the joy of that aside, i actually feel rather irritated by the fact that i have to take two days off from running. this is mainly because these days i feel the effect of it more strongly than normally - the days when i don't run are really dreadful, i feel irritated and restless and overall just not right. and more, i really don't wake up at all if i don't break a sweat in the morning - for example on tuesday i had to come to the office super early so i moved the exercise regime into the evening, and that day was just not good at all. it feels like being stuck in tar surrounded by a cloud of smoke that fills your head and eyes and lungs; and the tiredness i experience those days is very different kind to the type of tiredness you get from actually doing something.

but yeah, i guess i'll live. it's only two days. and a holiday.

so merry christmas to you all!
