You don’t get a pretty outdoor scenic morning run picture because I ran without my phone (!!) because I bought a cute little iPod nano. I need to purchase fun music. Girl Talk is a wonderful running mix though. So instead you get my sweet winter running outfit. That’s my running pose. Rocking nike pants, new Craft base layer and mid layer. Mid layer matches my stripe how cute. Lululemon wind/rain jacket thingy and headband from ummmm 15 years ago? Ran 3.7 miles today… it was like 8:50, 8:30, 8:40 I think. My legs were sore. Probably from 6 miles on Saturday, spinning on Sunday and swimming last night.
Speaking of swimming I am very proud of Michelle and myself. We were doing a catch up breath timing drill and after a few laps the teacher told the class to watch US demonstrate because our form was amazing. I was dyiiiingggg and beaaaaaammiinnngggg. Some dude was like wow you make it look so easy! Who me? ohhh hahhhh :):):) (I can’t breathe but thanks!) And I honestly contribute everything related to form and discipline to growing up a dancer. Dance really taught me to watch, listen, and do exactly what the teacher wants. It also taught me a lot about self image and confidence. Dance…. so powerful haha
Swimming is still so hard. Still can’t really breathe. Comforting knowing I can do a side kick, breast stroke, this catch up stroke for the triathlon. May take an hour but I’ll make it across without dying. Can’t wait!
Ah yes and Happy Valentine’s Day… I was reliving last year’s vday through my blog. I was bitter per usual but wrote a more positive post because I guess Miss Taub reminded me how fun vday was in elementary school. And I guess I talked to Miss Cole on the phone and we reminisced about PW vday parties. Yes I’m in black to mourn my lack of love but I’m pretty damn happy I’m not in some shit relationship staring across a dinner table at someone I don’t want to be in a relationship with. Life could be worse. Instead I’m going to hang with my homegirls, listen to live stories at The Moth, eat cheese and drink (a lot of) wine. Will I ever like Valentine’s Day? Probably not. One day some future lover will do something romantic and give me and ugly red rose and I’ll be like ew gross.
Enjoy the day! pink! red! cupid! arrows! valentines!
