Today as I ran I had a lot of thoughts. I decided to catalog them here. "I thought I remembered how much running sucks but I didn't at all. Oh well only 5 miles to go. 5 miles is no big deal, look at how quickly I made it across the street! Okay now up this hill. ohmygoodness, hills are the worst. I'd rather pluck out my arm hairs one at a time then run up this hill right now. Will it ever end? Nope, the answer is no, I will be stuck on this hill for eternity. That's a depressing thought. Do this for Kelsey! Do this for your team. Nice, now it's flat, this isn't so bad. Or it wouldn't be if I could run like a normal person. How is it possible to be running this slowly and still be moving forward. Now there are lots of cars. Try to look normal, you don't want to concern them with your Frankenstein gait or your frantic gasps for breathes. See look how impressed that guy looks that you're running. Nope that is not an impressed face, that is pure unadulterated concern. Don't worry, Sir. I am not dying, I just look like this when I run. And no worries, this feels great, I think it's getting easier. Oh that's because it's a downhill. Good, that means it'll be uphill on the way back. I hate uphills. Don't think about it. Just keep running. Let's see how far I've gone. Okay sweet about a mile and a half. Only a mile and a half, my watch must be wrong. Please let my watch be wrong. It must have been that killer uphill. I'll make it up on this downhill. Oh nice! Now it's raining, now even though I look like I'm a snail people will think I'm bad ass for runnning in the rain. This is good, that or I'll look like a homeless person. This is not rain, I feel like little animals are spitting on me in 5 second intervals. Hmm, well that's disappointing." Anyways, my run continued on in this manner for about 4 more miles and now I'm happy I did it. Long story short, running is fun! We'll see how I feel about it tomorrow.
