Ready, Set.... GO!







Ok I am a runnin feen. I got knocked on my badunk a week ago with a runner that was much more skilled than me and I REFUSE for that to happen again. I was through within the first half mile. Panting for breath after only about 1.6 miles. I was deeply disappointed in myself. Well... since then I refuse for that to happen again. That was due to poor eating and terrible workout habits. Due to my schedule I fell behind and... well whatever... kick them dern excuses to the curb. IM TALKIN ABOUT HERE AND NOW. Here and now I'm on my case. I've created a checklist for my workouts. I have signed up for a 10K that is in 2 weeks (and I'm so excited btw) and I'm constantly changing my background to some inspirational running picture. I'm on it. I have to be. One thing I live for is working out... but there's something special about running. smh... it's just a feeling. It's similar to how I feel when our team is told a play and I know that the ball is trusted to be in my hands to gain yardage. The look at the field and planning routes... the only difference is... I don't depend on a quarter back to have a decent aim or defense to leave a hole or anything... I depend on my legs. My count them, one.. two.., legs. You choose where you go, you don't depend on anyone elese, it's up to you to get your lazy bones out to go running. With Chip it's great because he gets to go with me. I look forward to wearing these shoes into the ground and needing a new pair. I look forward to Nike+ and running with my friends across the nation. I look forward to so much!! the pavement awaits. :)


Anywho. I'm geeked. I wish I could go running tonight, but I have yet to find a running buddy who will run with me consistently... Freak the excuses, I'll be running before prayer meeting.

Soo... uh oooh yeah I DO have a blog. lol

It's been way too long since I've blogged. Hmm what does one say? Twitter kinda does become a mini-blog. That makes me feel better about my nearly 11K tweets... which I'm sure are at 11k now... let me check.. 11060... yeah amazing. Not surprised though. I was addicted to FB.

For those that don't know what twitter is IT IS NOT WHERE YOU SIT AROUND SAYING "HI I'm sitting here picking my nose" and keep saying what you are doing. You do mention what you are doing, but you also have conversations. Generally the only time we (#thecollective) are on there continually saying what we're doing is when we don't have time to engage. Currently me @iceberg_slym and @MrDenham are talking about how lame Brett Favre is... this could go on all season... I suspect it will. You don't want to be on twitter? Stop talking about it like you know what it is. We can't help that if you tried it you followed lames, or you are a lame yourself. You WILL NOT UNDERSTAND twitter unless you're on there. #itsatwitterthang

Dear Snickers,

Every time I come to the wrapperthere's a bite out of you! Freakin A! Like seriously. I came into this store thinking that this was a brand new package. WTW? That's some malarky. I don't plan to share. I'd appreciate if you'd decide if you want to be ice cream, bite-size or king-size. I don't have time to figure this crap out. I'll wait till Halloween. And the treats are brought to MY door, without the tricks following behind you. I'll stick with my sorbet for now. It cools me down, after you've got me above room temperature.

Sincerely,

CandyGirl

*sigh* sooo... what else?

Oh so I was going to go back to school, but I refuse to pay for it in advance. We have reimbursement. Once I save up the money (due to my refusal to use a credit card for anything) I will go back. I would settle for this management degree... but I know I wouldn't apply myself because I could care less about the job I'm doing now... I want to do what God wants.

Running. I don't know where I would be without running. It truly makes me feel amazing. What's funny is that I run with people who are at a level behind me generally and this week I finally ran with someone a step ahead... well more like some miles ahead... and omg... like are you serious? My legs are still hurting and it's very necessary I run soon to get this soreness out. We were running and I was so gone... I was so mad at myself because I NEVER am that lame when it comes to running. Like I didn't even make it two miles. Perhaps it was because I didn't know the course, or not running in a few weeks, or my horrible diet that day... whatever it was it can't happen again. I was so embarassed. Not even for them, but for me. I was disappointed in myself. then we stop running... chat... and then they proceed to start running again... so we run... I thought I was going to die. like literally. I felt at one point like i was going to lose the Gladys and Ron's I ate earlier that day... But AS SOON as I finished I felt amazing! I felt so freakin amazing....
I LOVE RUNNING
So that's that. God is amazing. For those that don't understand. I tweet that... I tweet it because it's true... and whenever it's overflowing I try to tweet that. He is an amazing God.

I'm glad it's wednesday. I'm glad I'm headed to prayer meeting this evening. There are things on my heart. People that are on my heart... mercy... yes prayer meeting is so necessary.
