Running, Showers and Squirrels!

Huzzah! :D I hit runners' high today! Well.... Long before I started running.... Actually.... Not entirely that long.... Just about 32 minutes.... I'm still calling it runners' high because it lasted through the run and thereafer.

Here's how it shook out. I worked until 8 this evening, which meant either we had to run in the morning where I could be home and cleaned up by 11, or run in the evening. For some unknown reason, I thought running at 10 a.m. would be a great idea. Yeah.... When he came at 10 I was angry, he was angry, and we both were tired. Nevertheless, because we're so awesome, we went to the park anyway and were going to carry through. Bad idea number two. When we got to the park, it was cloudy and looked a little like rain. However, there were still ten million kidsies playing on the equipment. After internally bawling, I asked if we could come back later tonight. He completely agreed. So while I did waste part of his morning, it actually worked out fabulously. Here's why. :D

For the last two hours of work the weather was crap. It gushed rain! SO! Not running weather! However, once I got home, it was still cloudy, but NOT! raining. Life was good! :D I was pretty psyched about that. I was even more psyched when he arrived and was psyched. Huzzah! Two psyches! Through fits of giggles on the way to the park, we decided we were probably only going to run for 30 minutes. However, it turned out that we ran an extra 5, merely because it was such a great day. Because it was wet[ish], the stupid cotton from the willows and cotton wood trees was subdued, and there were considerably less Greenbelters to be annoyed by. Life was even better! {: Not only was I well hydrated, but I was excited to run, and be running. How weird is that? I think I might be getting better at this. Let's see how tomorrow goes....

Because it's summer, there's definitely a decrease in willingness to shower. Not that you didn't already know that. No, that doesn't mean that I let myself get disgusting. It only means that I feel like letting myself get disgusting. Not really, but you see the point. However, today, after I showered I noticed a beastly razor burn on each of my legs. And I thought I was getting tan! Apparently not.... I suppose that's one more reason for me to go get some sun.... Or something stupid like that. I don't know. I'm perfectly fine being white. At least I'm not fish belly white or anything... as far as you know. :D Sad day about the razor burn, but I'm in too great of a mood to be foiled by it.

Before we started running, there was this dumb little squirrel that was doing this ridiculous merekat scamper. Oh. My. Gosh. It was for some reason quite absolutely hilarious. Of course, I probably appeared to be drugged and out of my mind. No worries though. You would have giggled had you seen it as well. I'm not the only crazy one. :D

Shazaam! I suppose I'm gone to try to sleep off this high. WEIRD! :D Cheers.
