Here's how mentally ill I am

I have exercised 17 days in a row, since I quit my job. 17 days in a row, I have engaged in 5 mile runs. For the last three days, since being on my feet all day on thanksgiving, my lower back has been killing me. So much as a one inch shift in the wrong direction, and I'm all, "owwwww!!!!" Point is, I've had to talk to three different people and work myself up via a series of feeble self-affirmations to convince myself NOT to work-out today. There you have it. I keep wondering: how will I make it through the day???!!! I'll let you know. For now, I'm going to get dressed and walk around downtown Chicago. Pictures later, of course.
