running

I went for a run tonight.

Running and I have a strange relationship. I hate getting ready to go running but I love the way I feel while I run and after I run. My absolute favorite is to run at night in a cool rain. I got one of the three tonight. I went running when it was dark, and cool. It was just me, my ipod, and the stars. I wish i could say i was one of those people that run to collect their thoughts and ponder deep and confusing issues, but I can't. When I run, my mind clears. I just focus on the ground in front of me. But speaking of deep and confusing issues, I saw my philosophy professor while I was running, that was kinda strange. haha

I wish i could run more often. One of THE MOST frustrating things about my life is the problems i continually have with my legs. I can't run more than a couple times a week without getting shin splints. I've had at least 2 stress fractures in my ankles, and now I have really bad tendonitis in both knees. I love running, but not being able to walk the day after is not fun. I think I need to find some type of exercise that still tires me out but doesn't kill my legs. Any ideas?

Guess what? 1 1/2 days till break! Food, family, and giving thanks....can't get much better.

night all.

  1. Dancing! We should take a dancing class! We could pretend that we are in the forties and we get dressed up in our going out dresses...we would go dancing with our sweethearts who would be appropriatly dressed in their military dress blues...there would be a big band and a cute little gazebo. We would of course not be seen in public without our cute pillbox hats and white gloves! It would be amazing! Lets learn to dance!

    P.S. did I mention we were both born in the wrong time period?!!
