"Is my asscrack showing or is the wind just cutting through my pants right there?" " I wonder if it is showing if traffic can see my tattoo?" " Wonder if that is ice or wet." " Am I running to fast, do I look like a retard?" "Did I make that chai tea latte right?" " Did I clock out?" " I really should have called before I left Starbucks, i would be pissed if he didnt call"
Things you should know about an adventure home from work:
1.It is fun to wonder if your back is showing to traffic becuase that might be the worst thing that happens today.
2.Your co-workers will be talking about you in your matching pink stretchy super flattering running outfit after you embark.
3. You might work at a coffee shop but you can not run with hot coffee.No matter how cold it is.
4.Old people will give you dirty looks becuase you are running on the day AFTER it snowed and that is crazy.
5.You apparently should never give directions becuase you have to real idea what street that stoplight is at. Becuase when running at this pace surely you are alot farther along.
6.You start to imagine what it would be like to order a pizza and have to admit that is the name of your street.
7.Pizza sounds good.
8.The insides of your thighs you hate so much are less annoying when numb.
9. Your Ipod will die in protest of the cold becuase it is old.
10. Your cold water will be warm in perspective when drinking it.
11.Your ipod will start to play again when you stop to put it away (who hates to pretend they are listening to music more than your ipod being a biatch)
12.You dont trust 10 year old boys who are at the park playing on such a cold day.. then again they are thinking the same of you. I bet you can out run them.
13. Your ipod will reprotest when you get excited and try it again.
14. A mile away is pretty!
15.That christmas flag doesnt look like an angel but an ugly Jesus on a cross. Yikes
16. You will remember next time not to drop the single house key to the bottom of the bag to dig out of, and you refuse to knock at your own house.
17. You are damn proud of running 6 miles home and still being up for more!
All in all I had a huge sucess running home from work. A few tweeks here and there such as a backpack that is secured tight to my body and doesnt bounce off my back bc it has work shoes in it. Blak! And i need a wind layer on my legs but all in all really went well! I dont think I will be running home in the dead of winter but on super mild days and alot more in the spring! I am so excited to have done something I would have thought crazy just over a year ago!
Now I wait for another good break in the weather for another good run!
What have you done lately that you are proud of but still think is crazy you even tried?
