Despite the fact that we had one day off this week due to TS Fay, I was feeling totally pooped today. So when I got home from class, I did some picking up around the house, played with Scooter, and then plopped down on the couch and didn't move for an hour or two. When Jerry got home, that was the lethargic state I was in.
Me: "I don't think I'm gonna run this evening. I'm just too tired and I don't wanna."
Jerry: "Man, you're whiny. Just go run; you'll feel better if you do and then I won't have to hear later about how guilty you feel for missing it."
Me: "I'm whiny?! You're whiny!"
(Yeah, I don't have much by way of retorts when I'm tired.)
Jerry: "Just go run."
Me: "Fine!"
So I ran 4 miles, and he was right, I did feel better. It feels against the wife-code-of-conduct to admit it, but I guess he knows me: When Jess is tired/grouchy/moody, she needs a run.
That's a great conversation. I've had it many times. I'm either needing to go workout, or I need to eat!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the 4-miler!

I have had that conversation a time or two myself!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, I know that conversation.
ReplyDeleteOne day when Beer Geek came home, the kids were running wild and I was sitting at the table with a bunch of chocolate wrappers. He asked me if I was going running. I said that I was too tired. He practically picked me up and threw me out the door. LOL
Glad the run made you feel better. (Oh, and thank you for the info you emailed me. I appreciate it.)
Glad the run helped.
ReplyDeleteWhen I have that conversation with my wife, her response is usually "cool, lets watch a movie".
ReplyDelete:)
That's me too. Way to get out there and do it! :)
ReplyDeleteI hate it when they're right.
ReplyDeleteDamn men.
Gotta love 'em.
Don't you hate when the hubby is right? :)
ReplyDeleteJerry sounds like my husband. I complain about feeling guilty if I miss a run too! Great job on the 4.
ReplyDeletehaha that sounds EXACTLY like my comebacks... just repeat exactly what they just said to you :)
ReplyDeletegreat job getting the run done!
All you needed was a little push out the door - getting out the door is always the hardest part. Nice job on your 4 miler.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great line! Your hubby knows you - at least it is the same for me, I feel guilty and whine if I don't go, so its better to just go and I feel so much better! nice job!
ReplyDeleteAwwwhhhh see, it's nice that Jerry knows you like that ;-)
ReplyDeleteFunny-when Connie is tired, grouchy, moody I need wine.
ReplyDeleteThe hubby says stuff like that to me all the time, and even though I hate to admit it, he's right!
ReplyDelete...and, you earned a beer!
ReplyDeleteThe run kick the grumpies everytime.
