Janardan's Snoring is Keeping me Awake

He doesn't usually snore, so this is something different for me. I mean he usually has nightly noises, but  not so loud as this. Add to that that I am already kind of high-energy, trying to come down off of a peak. So sleeping isn't happening, even though it is late. 

So I am thinking that maybe I shouldn't run a marathon. As in I was talking to Janardan about what my doctor said back in the day with my knee surgery, and that in my 20s I'd probably have to have my meniscus replaced. Well...I really don't want to undergo surgery, and I think that's probably more important to me than running a marathon. So I think I'm going to divert myself into more triathlon things, and try to focus a lot less on running, and just run 2-3 miles max, unless I start training for a hardcore triathlon. Like...I am thinking that if I wanted to be really hardcore triathlon, I'd do an Ironman right? Well they have a half (never really seriously considered the full...figured I could decide to do that after the half). Anyway, so if I ever decide to do the IronMan in a few years (the half, again), then I may end up training for a half marathon, but I think that is the most I want to do. I don't think my knees and my hips can take all this running. I feel like an old lady already. I think it's the right decision, but it still makes me kind of sad. I was looking forward to knowing that I had trained and run a marathon. But again, being able to not have surgery and not putting so much stress on my body is more important to me. 

But being here in Texas, all the places to go to use the pools are like 3-4 miles away at least, and I like can't drive that much everyday. First of all it makes it take so long, and otherwise, it just like...you know, feels wrong doing it to exercise. I'm weird, I know. So I'm trying to figure out what I am going to do for exercise for the next two months here. I am thinking I will still run a little bit - do some two milers. And I guess I can do the exercise bike too, and I have yoga. It was just nice to be working toward a goal. I think my legs will thank me for stopping running though. Because they have pretty much been hurting all the time. My hips will hurt and keep me up at night, so this is probably a good idea. Also, I imagine if I start training for any type of running again anyway, I will do it somewhere where I don't have to run on concrete. It is killer on my joints. 

Also I cooked a lot today. I like cooking. Well...I'm going to hunt around for a disc of Medium to watch, maybe when an episode is over Janardan will have quieted down a bit and I'll be able to sleep.
