I'll come out and say it: Valentine's Day is a Hallmark created holiday!!! Why on earth should there be one day a year where people are super nice to each other, give each other candy/chocolate/sugar, spend way too much on flowers that have been marked up 200%, and pretend like nothing ever goes wrong in their relationships...all I have to say is Bah Humbug!!!
I should clarify that I have been in a relationship with the same person for almost five years. Last Valentine's day, Chet got stuck in New Hampshire in the Valentine's Day blizzard of '07. By the time he got home it was late, so we sat on the couch watched TV and ate frozen soy cheese pizza!!! It was the best V-day ever. Chet also offered to make dinner tonight when I get home...what a guy!!!
So this Valentine's day, I am going to join my fellow DFMC teammates at Crossroads for a run. Since I'm still in recovery mode from the Birminham Half (more on that in my next post), I will not run all 9 miles tonight, maybe 5 or so. But I will do something healthy for my heart. I will do something healthy for my body. And I will love the fact that today is just like any other day (except maybe I ate a bit too much candy).
