Riot and Frolic

Many of you know how I feel about running…

[Buy this shirt for someone you love.  Or me.  Whatevs.]

I'm not good at it.  But I do it.  Like Nike says.  

And because…

As much as I feel like dying at the beginning of each run (okay, the middle and the end, too), when I get back home, I feel AWESOME.  Like this guy. 

Holy crap.  Did you go out and run a couple miles after that?  Now that you're all tired and captive, I'll tell you about this great book I read…

Born to Run.  By Christopher McDougall.  If you run and you haven't read this, you are missing out.  If you don't run, you should still read it.  It's a fun read along the lines of Into Thin Air and Into the Wild without all the undiagnosed mental disorders and dying and whatnot, but with a lot of motivational inspiration and amazing physical feats of endurance.  

I basically read the whole thing out loud to the G because it was so fascinating.  Like every single paragraph.  Unbelievable!  But it's all real.  All these incredible stories about ordinary people heading out the door and running 50 miles in a day… for fun.  

Shut up.  

I know.

And I'll never look at a Chia Pet the same. 

Those three miles I do now seem so easy.  Or hard.  I can't figure it out.  

Anyhoo, check it out.  Then get off your butt and make sure this happens.

Catching up on Season 7 of The Office.  Awesome!
