I know IADNBU.
I have a really heavy period.
I also have dry socket from a wisdom tooth extraction 10 days ago.
I haven't been sleeping well.
Eating is also painful, so I didn't have any tea yesterday, meaning that when I woke this morning, I'd been fasting for 20 hours.
(Ahem, well nearly fasting, apart from 3 glasses of wine I drank with friends after book group yesterday).
The alarm went off at 6 am this morning. DH leaps out of bed, full of the joys of spring, and announces that it is Time for A Run. We are doing Couch to 5k, currently on week 4. To add to my woes, I have somehow managed to develop shin splints, even though the amount of running you actually do on the first 4 weeks of this programme is minimal and should make this impossible.
I groan and moan a bit, but get my running clothes on, feeling slightly sick, a bit hungover and groggy. When I get outside, I realise that not only is there a gale blowing, but the rain is sheeting down, sideways.
I decide to go back inside. "No, don't be a wuss" says DH. "We have to do this!"
We start to run. Everything hurts, especially my tooth which is aching every time I breathe in. And I breathe in a LOT because I am super unfit.
A swishy haired, model-looking girl jogs past. I wonder for a second if I look a bit like her, then catch a glimpse of myself in a window, and am struck by the resemblance to a beefsteak tomato trying to escape the vegetable aisle.
We get down to the river and the rain is relentless. My breath feels like a saw is cutting through my lungs. "You are doing REALLY WELL!" says DH, who is not even panting.
At this moment, a car drives past through a puddle and I am soaked with muddy water.
"Doesn't it feel great?" he adds.
I am seized by an overpoweringly strong urge to push him into the river. It is only with difficulty that I restrain myself.
AIBU to think that being fat and unfit is actually preferable to a lifestyle where I have to do this on a regular basis?

AIBU?
To have seriously considered pushing DH in the river?
