Completely Honest

I just ate a pint of Ben & Jerry's.  And I haven't run in probably over a week.

I suck.

Excuses:


1. a.)   It's too hot.  Really too fricken hot.  I'm a wuss, and wusses don't like to run when it's 90 + degrees.
         
b.)  I won't run after dark due to safety reasons.  I run alone, which is brave enough for me.  Running alone after dark I feel is just a bad idea for me.
     
2.  I stupidly bought two pints of Ben & Jerry's at the grocery store because they were buy one get one free.  When Dearest didn't eat his I ate it for him.  This isn't so much an excuse as it is a statement of truth.  

Yeah.  That's all.  Thanks.

Turning Failures Into Successes

Okay guys, I have a confession to make.  I'm a geek.  Full fledged OMGEE geek.  I even have the tan lines to prove it.  Seems the longer I stick with running the more geek gear I collect.  I don't run "naked".  I run with an ipod, a Garmin wrist top GPS, a Road ID, and today I added a camelbak to the mix.  Yes I'm aware that I look silly.  I have all this crapola and I'm barely out running for an hour.  *sigh* I can't help it.  I try to blame my family.  My brother, bless his heart is a geek too.  He works on computers, he reads, laughs at and enjoys comic strips about physics, and is the root of my geeky-ness.   Dearest is also a geek.  He has a lexicon on Star Trek, collects military "action figures", and spends hours on end on zombie message boards preparing for doomsday.  Hum.  Maybe I'm the normal one....
