Adventure

Today I adventured... I tried out a new path today through the park and along the highway (the irony of doing cardiovascular workouts next to traffic is not lost on me) I saw a lot of people (that is new) I also ran kid/stroller free (also new) I looked outside myself and realized what I look like when I run in my sweatpants and over-sized sweatshirt. I look more akin to the old Chinese guy in chinos and orthopedic shoes riding his bike on the path than like the guy racing by with flames blazing up the back of his tight shirt with a pocket on the back. Perhaps if I had a shirt with flames...I would possibly be more motivated to run more often, I might run faster and I probably would look a lot better :) Additionally I would have a place to put all the things I am used to having when I run... sippy cups with juice, snacks, pockets to keep keys and cell phone, wallet to stop for ice cream if we see the ice cream man, and toys. I had none of those things with me today and I missed them I also missed my company. where do you hide your keys and cell phone when you run? Do you have a cool flame shirt?
Blaze on...

I have vague memories of this "running" you speak of...no memory of pockets though...plenty of good memories of ice cream though! I love you honey!
