Scott likes to take the boys to the skate park on Saturday mornings and since today is a holiday, they went today also. The boys have been begging me to come and watch them so I decided to run there. It's mostly downhill so its not hard other than traffic. There was a head wind going South on 7th East but it was fine. I was hoping the mileage there would be more than 3 but I did assume it would be around 3 so whatever. 
I laughed at my thoughts on the way down there how all kids are narcissistic. "Mom, watch me..Mom look what I'm doing..mom watch..mom tell me how great I am..mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom,...I'm so awesome..tell me I'm awesome..mom, mom, mom..They're whole lives are about them. And we sit there as their parents and say "oh that was so great! you are so awesome! Congratulations on being the best freaking person alive in the whole universe!" It's no wonder adults are so deflated. They don't have people cheering them on anymore. And then when adults recieve a compliment, they question it and don't believe the person's intentions, motives and wonder if there's something wrong with that person. Are they brain dead? It's too bad that adults esp teenagers can't take some of that confidence they have when they're 8 with them. Anyway. for the love. I really need to stop using the internet as my journal and making all of my thoughts everyone elses business. 
I full on expect you to cheer me on with my 3.1 miles today. I want to hear that I am so awesome and amazing and my accomplishment deserves a trophy. Everybody dance now. 

Failed attempt to run. I have a sore throat and low energy. I kinda knew it would be a fail but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. Made it half way around the block and decided to forget it. I know. I should have kept going. It might have been the greatest run of my entire life. I know how it can change after a mile, but whatever. I chose to be a failure instead. Stacie saw me and pulled up in my driveway to talk. We chatted for awhile. Good to talk to you Stacie, its been 900 years. 

Felt a lot stronger than I thought I would. It was lightly raining when I started and then it stayed overcast the rest of the time. Which was nice. There was a full beautiful rainbow out west when I was driving the girls to school this morning and sunny orange clouds to the east, with a strange light in the air. It was really cool. Something that could have been out of a horror movie or a Hallmark hall of fame movie. Either way. I had to stop a couple of times and have a coughing attack but overall, it felt great to be back out there. Everybody. Dance. Now. 

Today's run brought to you by suckville. I couldn't catch my breath, my stomach was churning, my head started pounding. I don't know if I was having panic attacks or there was something else going on. Something like I'm so out of shape my body can't stand it. Whatever it was, it was crap and I couldn't wait to get home. Strange bc in my mind I was all amped up to go today. Excited etc. Isn't mind supposed to win over body? Anyway, bad run. EDN

Felt a lot better than yesterday. Still not totally awesome, but better. Ran the hill on Highland, I stopped to catch my breath at the top on the flat and I think I hyperventalated for like 3 minutes. :) Anyway, EDN

Had to fit it in today. My mornings have been a little chaotic this week. I have a meeting in an hour but I couldn't go another day. It felt really good. Love the temps and clouds. EDN

I ran the usual route then headed up NC. I was feeling tired so I cut through a street, ran around and then back down to Highland, ran down the hill and then back up. After I caught my breath again, I tried to run faster all the way home. Felt good to sweat. EDN
p.s. I forgot to tell you about the bird I saw that had his neck broken but was still standing up. Like someone had broke its neck and then posed it that way on the sidewalk. Sickos.
