reluctant to run yesterday

Yesterday I almost skipped my run. I had a morning doctors appointment for which I had to fast, and not being one who can run without coffee, skipped the morning run. As the day went on motivation was fading with early winter light. At 3pm I went out for an easy 4.5 and I'm glad I did. I wouldn't want to lose the habit.

We saw the very well-made Sean Penn/Naomi Watts movie last night, Fair Game. It really captures the political passions of the time in scenes where couples at bars and dinner tables are arguing first about profling Muslims immediately after 9/11 and then, 18 months later, about the validity of Saddam/Hitler analogies. Knowing Sean Penn's personal investment in the war opposition helps makes his Joe Wilson, who seeths at cable new screenshots of Bush, Rove, and Scooter Libby, incredibly convincing.
