Global warming, is that you?

Instead of joining a fun run, I ended up with a runny nose. Damn this weird weather--showers in early May? Extreme heat outside before I walk into a freezing office? Sigh.

My mom was iffy about my intention to join the 5K fun run Saturday morning, expressing her concern Friday night. "You're pushing your body too far," she said. I was in bad shape, with the beginnings of a cold, and I suppose the memory of my injured back a few weeks back was still in her head. All those hours at the gym and dance class were taking their toll. "Tapos may frisbee ka pa!" she tsk-tsked.

I brought it up while talking to H. "My mom doesn't think I should run tomorrow," I said as I blew my nose. "Maybe you shouldn't," he replied.

So that was that. I decided not to run. Next scene, my mom to H: "Buti sinabihan mo siya na huwag nang sumali bukas!"

I wonder if they were in cahoots the whole time?
