I'm So Hot Thursday

So tonight? Freakshow…yeah yeah, there’s too many jokes about how I already am one..I made them all already, you guys are way behind.

Tonight I’m going to be selfish, damn those Apes and their rules and such, I’m doing what I want to do tonight, so therefore, I am very much looking forward to it. I’ve been cracking myself up all week, that’s either a very good sign, or a very bad one. We shall see how tonight goes. But at this point, being in 7th place with 2 more shows to go, Hixx has nothing to lose. And if I have to do bonus points and get an extra 10 points maybe? Bring it. If I lose 10 points, I’m not much worse off than I am now!

Now…I’m So Hot Thursday continues…

Running Stats-still no idea
Weight-145 (my very best friend)
Favorite Running Song This Week- Actions Speak Louder Than Words from Tick Tick Boom.

So yeah…I now have two pedometers and just haven’t gotten to the point of measuring my strides for it. It seems like such an imperfect science, the pedometer. Like what if my strides get longer and faster? It won’t know that…not like the cool Nike thing does. So…maybe this weekend I’ll set it up, but…maybe not.

The cool weather, my lord, what a blessing that is. It changes running completely! I can hold my head up and look around and not be embarrassed by my pink face. It feels fantastic.

I only ran once last week (any connection to my bad and sorrowful moods? Probably) but I’m back on track this week. Even went about 2 blocks further last night, it actually felt like I was going on a real run.

And just to reiterate to those of you on the fence about exercising. I cannot tell you how it changes things, truly. I am a person who would like nothing more to sit in front of a TV set. When I get home, on nights I don’t run, the things I need to do before I can sit in front of the television are daunting, even the little things, like doing dishes, or walking the dog.

On the nights I run, I come back into the house and take care of all those things lickety-split. Dishes? DONE, while I’m still jamming to Justin T on my shuffle. Laundry? Cool, I can go downstairs and come back up, I’m good at that! It is an almost hyperness that comes over me when I get back from running and I’m finding it to be essential to getting things done.

And then, the feeling of sitting in front of the TV for a wicked night of Damages is guilt free, I’ve done good things for myself, I’ve taken care of my projects, I feel good and strong (er) and I can relax completely, no guilt, no shame, hell…I ran today, bring it on.

Like minds this week, sistah!
I am trying so hard to get back into running--your current weight is about my dream weight! And this weather has *totally* got me inspired again. Too bad my mp3 player crapped out on the last 5 minutes of my run. Poop.

Its too hard to run without an mp3 player! Although, the ONE time I did it, it was kind of nice...but I don't recommend it! How did people ever exercise without mp3 players?
