Running is not fun

Let me start this post off with a very clear statement: I hate running. Not dislike but hate. Ok, now that that is out of the way, I have a 10K coming up in May.

No I am not crazy or contradicting myself. I will not enjoy any of the 10K. Much like I have not enjoyed the four 10K's before this. And I really did not enjoy any of the two half marathons I ran.

I cannot wait for any run I go on to end. I get bored, tired, blisters, cramps, bored, my iPod dies, sore and bored. Did I mention they are boring? How anyone says they like to run is beyond me. I just don't get it. My body is not designed to run.

So why do I do it? Well, that's easy. It's what gets me more in shape than anything else I do. Damn you cruel irony!!

Oh and I get to run and spend more time with my best friend. I guess she's worth it ;) BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging. BlogBooster is a multi-service blog editor for iPhone, Android, WebOs and your desktop

Insanity workout is, well, insane

So I started doing the Insanity DVD's and they really are no joke. 2 signs that these DVD's are for real: 1. during the warm up you get tired and 2. The people, who look like they are in incredible shape, in the DVD are dying and sometimes are just laid out on the floor at the end. I have only done the first 3 DVD's so far but I am working hard to keep up with it. It definitely works you out and I am sore as heck as I'm typing this right now. But at the same time it makes you feel good and feel alive. I can't wait to finish the program and see the results.

Some of my favorite "Tuesdays with Morrie" quotes

Discuss... "Accept what you're able to do and what you're not able to do. "Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it "Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others. "Don't assume that it is too late to get involved." -p18 "Well for one thing, the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own. Most people can't do it. They're more unhappy than me - even in my current condition. O may be dying, but I am surrounded by loving, caring souls. How many people can say that?" -pg 40 "Love. Love always wins" -pg 40 "So many people walk around with a meaniningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is t...

I think i'm addicted

I can't stop playing "words with friends" on my iPhone. It's very addicting and I find myself checking my iPhone a little too often to see if someone I'm playing has taking their turn. This definitely is one of the best iPhone apps out there. My next vice would be the World Cup. Although my heart was crushed when the USA was knocked out I still find myself following the tournament very closely. I can't wait for this weekend to see who will lift the World Cup trophy. Will it be Spain or the Netherlands? The suspense is killing me!
