Day 141: List-less

  • Kerrie

I have lists for everything.

  • Christmas present lists
  • Grocery lists
  • Pre-race lists
  • Pre-party lists
  • Task lists for work
  • Story idea lists
  • New clothes lists
  • Daily errand lists
  • Playlists on my Zune

These lists float around the house on the back of discarded envelopes. Or they are scribbled on notebook paper and shoved in my purse. T Junior finds them in the couch cushions…or he puts them there, I’m not really sure. “Dist!” he yells and holds them up like he struck gold.

I neeeeeed lists. I can’t focus without them. And I hate straying from them. I’m such a rule-follower that I get nervous if I skip a to-do item on a list that I made.

That’s why the Hal Higdon 12-week Half Marathon plan worked for me. It was, essentially, a list.

Right now, I’m list-less. I’m lost in a sea of confusion about what I’m supposed to do to prepare for the Jingle Bell 5K on Sunday, which is probably why I haven’t been running since Wednesday. Like Elle in Legally Blonde, I’m “totally adrift.”

“Totally.”

I made my pre-race list for the
Seattle Half in Excel. I know. Fancy.

    Good luck on your 5K today. I love lists. I like the list paper you can buy on Vistaprint too and have it all personalized. Me=dork

    I freaked out a little too…I thought I missed the Jingle Bell run with you! My break from running has been too long. However, I just played 4 games of racquetball, in which my endurance was awesome, thanks to my recent running!

    Oh I'm a total list maker too but now all my lists are in my Blackberry. I must have at least 20 of them.
