I had pizza again today. If you read yesterday's blog, you'll know that I'm a big pig and I have no will power when it comes to pizza, so today, I ate the leftover pizza and garlic knots. As you will see by my calories burned on the run tonight, I did not earn that pizza.What the hell...you only live once, then you die and rot. So, I'm glad I ate the pizza!! I'll make up for it on Sunday with a longer run. That's how I roll. Eat...then run. Eat more...then run more. It's a power struggle that for most of my adult life I have been losing. Of course, since I only finally considered myself an adult when I turned 40 (just this past year) its nowhere as near dramatic as I made it sound. My issues with being a grown up are fodder for another blog some other time...to the running now.
Spitting in the face of her doctors again, Honey braved another day. Nine days in a row running is the longest she has ever gone exercising in any form, so I have to give her some props. Running isn't easy. Even those of you who are die hard runners know this. All of us started out hating it. Every part of it. And over time, it grew on us...like mold. And now we can't get rid of it. My goal is to grow so much running mold on Honey that she runs around the house all day doing her house chores. I want her to run to the bathroom. I want her to run to the kitchen and get me some water (seriously, I'm parched!) I want her to run everywhere!
I'll also settle for her taking on a new healthy habit that will extend her life, make her more healthy, happier, fitter and enable her and me to spend the next 100 years together. Then we can die together in bed like that couple in The Notebook (seriously, if you don't cry at the end of that movie, you are a cold hearted bastard).
