I was all ready to run my 8 miles this morning, go to hit play on the Ipod and all I hear is silence. What?!? Um....Hello?!? Its dead........could it have anything to do with the little ride it took in the washing machine....probably. So I think, I can do this....right? Psh...I've never ran without music...one time won't kill me. So I reluctantly begin running. About 20 feet in..... my mind begins racing......it's thinking about all kinds of crap......and I don't like it one bit....After a mile in I decide not to take my original turn because there is no way in hell I am running this 8 miles without music.....It just can't be done. So I aim for 4 miles instead. I did it....it was slow and torturous.....and I discovered that I annoy myself......I don't want to hear myself breath and pant........I don't like thinking that much.........and that was way too much time to spend with myself. Today, I am very thankful for music in the world.
I keep telling myself that I am still cool and hip even tho I want my levi's to cover my bum when I bend over (whys it so hard to find them?) even if I get annoyed by the snowboarders mouths around my boys while skiing (inside I'm laughing) , even if I can only jump on the trampoline for a minute or I'll pee my pants, even if I run with compression socks on, fall asleep sitting up and enjoy a nice glass of metamucil once in a while. I am fun, cool and totally with it although I just noticed I used the word hip..............
