1) I really really wish that I could afford plastic surgery. This guy passed us yesterday on our run, wearing unbelievably short shorts. He had these really nice, strong thighs and calves. My body is in excellent condition. I also have nice, strong muscular legs, but they are masked by the aftermath of a 269 lb. body. Sometimes it's really hard not to feel regret for not having always treated my body more kindly. Are there more important things to spend my money on? Certainly. Would I still do it? I would. Do I feel guilty about that? Yes. It would be so freeing to run in short shorts. (We wear short shorts.)
2) There is something about the light of the afternoon sun that has always made me feel a bit lonely. Morning is my favorite time of day. The period just before you get your cup of coffee and the day is just beginning--the possibilities.
3) My sister and Jaxon make really great running partners. No pressure for conversation. It be what it be. Pushing a 2 year old in a stroller while running is extremely difficult. However, that's some durn good conditioning. Do that enough and you'll fly through a half marathon--I've discovered your secret, Seester!
4) I am terrified of being pregnant. I do want kids, but imagining myself pregnant seems so strange and foreign. I have a hard time picturing it. When I think about having a little one some day, I get excited about being a Mommy, and what a great Dad Cory will be! But something about the actual physicality of pregnancy is hard for me to imagine.
5) Dancing rollerbladers are rad! Dancing, singing rollerbladers are even radder.
6) Jaxon: "Mommy, I wanna get down and run, too". I love that he was really upset that he couldn't. I also love that he zonked out from miles 2 -5 and didn't bat an eye while I strolled over the bumpiest sidewalk this side of the Mississip!
7) Salty's is overrated. I do not know this from experience. It's just a feeling I have.
