Running

I went again today. It's been a while, and even though I've lost a lot from last time I went, it felt good. And it gave me time to think:

Things I like about running:
  • Feeling good (eventually)
  • Looking great (more or less immediately, but some of that may be psychological)
  • Being able to do stuff like carry the little chick around without getting tired
  • Feeling like my shoes were a fiscally sound investment
  • Good excuse to carbo-load - hello, spaghetti carbonara!

Things I don't like about running:
  • Sweating
  • Not being able to sing
  • That point where it feels like someone is trying to separate your rib cage from the rest of you with a dull, rusty knife
  • Sweating in my clothes
  • Being far from a shower while sweating
Yeah, I guess that about sums it up. Down with sweating, but three cheers for fitness!

You know you're a good runner when you can sing while you run... at least under your breath. :)

Yeah. Not quite there, yet.

Oh, and the close proximity to the "run, fat boy, run" post is coincidental. Any remarks suggesting the contrary will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
