Bitches Be Running

 Just the moment when the skinny fit bitch lady comes around the corner, and passes you on your run.
But she doesn't just pass you, she passes you with a perfect ponytail,
no sweat, and color coordinated work out gear.

You all know who I am talking about, a girl that looks like this 8 miles into her run.

I do like what this image says, in case you were wondering.

She makes running look easy, effortless, and envigorating.
She probably runs twice as far as you do in half the time.
It's just not fair.

I'm an avid 'runnier'. 
Meaning I run voluntarily anywhere between 3-5 miles 3-4/week.

Well here is a true story that inspired this post.
The other day, I'm struggling to run.

You know the days when you get out on a run, and your mind just stops your body in it's tracks, 
sounding something like, "...you think you're running today, well lady, I have different plans for you." And your body says, "Yes, I am going to keep running, but every step will be labored, and you're going to look like a flailing rhinoceros while you do it."
And your mind turns up her nose, says,"fine." and walks away.

Yeah that's how I felt.
And during my last half mile, this beautiful skinny bitch girl runs from around the corner, with a perfect pony tail, legs that don't touch, color coordinated running gear, and a sweat-less forehead.
And right then and there I wanted to stop and give up.

My mind was like, "Dang she's fit."
My body was like, "You will never look like that, you're just never going to be a petite girl."

And that's when I started running just a little bit faster, still not fast enough to catch her, but a little bit faster until I reached my front door step and thought,
"Worst three mile run of my life."

And my body said, "Yup, but you'll do it again tomorrow because it makes you feel good."
And she was right, I was right back at in the next day.

Maybe to others I am that flawless runner, maybe.

Thursday IN or OUT

Un forecast-ed Traffic: OUT (duh)

 

Today I hit traffic during and unusual time and unusual place. JUST. THE. WORST.  Here's the deal, when I know there is traffic, I am mentally ready.  I have my list of people to catch up with (i.e. Grandmas, college Besties, and brother), my book on iPod, and a great CD.  When I am not ready I just get frustrated and cranky.  But don't we all.  This did NOT make for a good end of the day.  But what can you do?

Dove Chocolate Messages: IN


Dove always knows what to say.  Today this is what I got, and this is how I felt. I needed a moment. Thank you Dove for helping me get through my day, and granting me that moment.  The moment the simplicity of your dark chocolate square put a smile on my face.  Dove Chocolate Messages > Fortune Cookies Fortunes.  (P.S. This might be the most complicated math symbol I have used since High School, please don't judge).

Boot Camp- IN


A couple of weeks ago my friend/co-worker introduced me a small fitness studio boot camp.  And I LOVE it.  I am not one for gym membership.  I don't like the idea of others watching you on a machine, waiting for you to finish, or showing you up if they are stronger.  This boot camp is never over 20 people, all ages, both genders, and the trainers know you by face and name. Everyone is happy to be there and increase personal fitness and push personal limits.  I went this morning (at 6am) and despite the fact that I had 'one of those days', Boot camp made it better.

Friday Meetings: OUT



Let's be honest Friday is probably NOT the most productive work day.  Weekend plans are nearing, excitement is growing, the clock is ticking, and the list goes on.  So, really HOW productive is a Friday meeting really going to be?  Unless it's a meeting that includes discussing what the plans are for the weekend, it should probably happen on Thursday, or wait 'til Monday.  Leave us worker bee's alone. 


TGTIF
(thank goodness tomorrow is Friday)
