random thoughts from yesterday's run...

"holy crap dumbass. it's too hot to wear flannel boxers anymore"

"i can't wait til my new shoes get here"

"you do realize that new shoes aren't going to make you enjoy running any more, don't you?" (yes, i talk to myself. and if you run, i highly recommend giving the nike frees a whirl)

"you'll spend money on anything, won't you? the salespeople just see you coming"

"i really, really hate so-and-so. why the hell couldn't they have stayed gone a couple more days? life was so peaceful with them not here"

"breath dumbass. or you're going to get a sideache. c'mon. this isn't the first time you've ever run"

"do i REALLY want to run the army ten-miler? because if i REALLY do, that means i have to run more to get ready for it. hmmm. just how much do i like those guys? oooh, can i just go to washington and watch THEM run it?"

"lordy, i used to run twice this far twice a day. i'm getting olllllllld"

"ooooh. helicopter"

"damnit, i need to be a contractor. and get a nice new expedition to drive around base for a year in."

"hah. that bastard looks miserable"

"oooh. cute girl. try not to sound like you're dying when you pass her"

"holy hell, why do my hip flexors hurt so bad? is that because of those leg lifts?"

"oh my GOD, when did it get to be so warm. wasn't i freezing my ass off on this run just two weeks ago?"

"i can't wait to go home, i can't wait to go home, i can't wait to go home, i can't wait to go home, i can't wait to go home"

"i need to walk" "no you don't. don't be a wuss" "no, really, my hip is hurting" "no it's not, you're making up an injury so you can stop running" "no, really, it hurts. if i just walk for a few steps it'll feel better then i can run again" "shut up. it's less than a block to the end" "okay. maybe my hip doesn't hurt. but neither does my knee. in fact it's numb. that's GOTTA be a sign to stop" "NO!" "how about sideaches. can i stop for that?" "no" "well, it's kinda high for a sideache. maybe it's a heart attack?" "there's no point in stopping now, the end's just 100' away" "but see? i should stop now and walk it in" "no. you're not a quitter remember?" "i hate myself"

"i'm going to RUIN all of this and have apple pie and ice cream at lunch"

Hee! I'd like to post my thoughts from when I run, but they're mostly profanity.

Hi Sean,
Just visiting via Bib White Hat.

bigwhitehat said...

Link you in a post. I see John showed up. More will come.

Sean said...

cora... i saw you page and need to leave a comment. thanks so much for that last post.

leelee- the little glimpse in the noggin didn't have your running away scared? i did more of the leg lifts this morning. the pain is shifting from the flexors to the lower abdominals. yay.

trouble... trust me, i censored myself heavily...

john. thanks for stopping by. i've read some interesting stuff on your page. sent you a line about it.

bwh. i've sent you thanks on your page and in an email. i don't want to overdo it, but thanks again!

I talk to myself like that too. They say you're crazy when you answer your own questions...

leelee said...

it's fun in here!

Of course you haven't scared me away..your blogs are too interesting and fun.

Ok so you are saying that I should continue the leg lifts for the pain to shift to lower abs and pain = 6 pack????...hmmmm ok if you say so..by gum I'll do it!!!!

:-)

echotig said...

You are very funny! I like your writing style!

bigwhitehat said...

Insert an encouraging remark here.

I hate running. I am a wimp.

Mayden' s Voyage said...

Sean, no need to comment. Glad you saw it...and I do think of you when things start to ache and I just dig in a little more...
But you and Leelee can count me out on the 6 pack, unless we can all sit down togther and drink them!!! :)

leelee said...

I came here from the link that Big White Hat posted. Glad I did! This is really funny. You have a great sense of humor! :)

leelee. i make no guarantee about the leg lifts. i myself like eating too much and hate running enough to not have a six pack. my current form of abdominal self torture is to lay on my back and have someone stand by my head. i grab their ankles and then raise my legs. they try to push my feet all the way to the ground and i have to keep raising them back up. they randomly push either straight out or to one side or the other, so it really works the upper and lower abs and the obliques. and hurts.

nettie... i've been answering myself for a long, long while.

echotig... thanks. :) i liked your post about your husband the other day. at the start of his work week.

bwh... no words of encouragement, i hate it as much as you. however, i figure being able to run relatively fast for relatively long periods is a pretty good skill to have in this profession, mainly because i firmly believe in pvt. murphy's laws of combat.

prism. you're back! yay!

gayle... thanks!
