Who's lazy now!?

Okay you guys. Are we all sitting down? I imagine we would be, because, who stands at their computer? FREAKS. That's who. And everyone here is clearly in the group of non-freaks, because everyone who comes to my blog has good smelling hair and shiny pretty teeth and stuff. ....Where am I going with this?

Let's move on.

Ehem.

I have news. There's been THREE times (including tonight) that I have accomplished a Grand Accomplishment of Unimaginable Feats (or one at least for me). Seeing how I have done this Grand Accomplishment of Unimaginable Feats three times already, I clearly deserve the liberty to talk as if I am a Pro at this, and so, liberty I will take.

What do I do?




You are not seeing things my friends. That IS a bridge. A large one too.

I had a strange urge one day to run it, even though my sister has been running the bridge for like years, and never have I, until last week, felt the urge to join her. I don't know what came over me because I have always loathed running. It was boring and painful and always on the top of my list of Things I Hate the Most. It's always been like that. In elementary school when we would run the mile I would walk it. When it was time for soccer I volunteered to be goalie. Whatever opportunity I found to avoid running, I took.

And that was my philosophy, until last week.

I don't know if it's the iPod, or the nice view, or the cool ocean breeze, or the combination of it all, but OH MAN, I love it. I shift into autopilot and suddenly it's like I'm outside my body, a separate entity, just along for the ride. It's WEIRD. But a good weird.

And I like it a lots.

By the way, let's just ignore the fact that I typed this boast of a blog with a mouthful of Sandies Pecan Shortbread cookies and a mug full of milk. While in bed. And there are crumbs still on my shirt. And I think I might eat them too.

What?

As Hubby would say to something like this blog: You're crazy. I like you. You're crazy.

You're a runner now? Whhattt?? I move away and the whole world changes... I never thought I'd live to hear/read the words that you love to run. But I am VERY happy for you. I've always been envious of runners and their hitting-the-pavement-inner-peace crap. So congrats and keep it up!
