I got a lot done today. You can definitely count me in on a lot of summer shenanigans.
First to explain the song:
Admittedly, I’m not sure if it’s the cheap headphones or the cheap radio player, but my arm-band radio no longer produces music.
So this song was playing in my head while I ran.
The reason? One little phrase:
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I’m insane
It was just about to rain.
Which made me think of the next thing in this blog (see what happens when I run without music? I think):
Reasons I Run:
1. Exercise
2. Cardio – I am male, one of the main risk factors for heart disease
3. For my breathing – this is an area on which I will expend:
If you didn’t know, breathing is pretty restricted. As such, I have to be in better shape in order to breathe well and sound ‘in shape’. I thought I’d draw a picture, but since I’m an accountant, it was way faster to just make a chart in Excel, and screenshot it to a JPG. Here it is:
This chart explains why I should never let winter/Christmas/Tax season/anything else life feels like throwing at me get in the way of my being in shape.
4. I enjoy it, and I might be addicted to endorphins
5. It helps me maintain my stellar good looks (sarcasm intended)
6. Separate from my looks…. LEGS
Reasons I Run Faster:
1. To get faster
2. To increase my thigh range of motion (I take bigger steps, it makes me work more legs, and it makes me faster)
3. To beat the rain
Literally, today it was about to storm, so I ran home from my 2.7 jog about 2 minutes before a huge thunderstorm broke! I was pretty amazed!
Also business was big today. Meetings, but they’ll turn into more clients. Sooner than later, too!
Also, reconnected with a friend – she’s going to hang out tomorrow.
Dinner and games with another friend on Wednesday.
So much work to do, too! Remember the “good old days” when summer had time?
J Out!
