I've been listening to a lot of Promise Ring again lately. I think it's because Jen spotted Happiness is all the Rage on my running playlist while I was in Seattle and for some reason that got me listening to them again. I just checked on iTunes and there are 2 albums of theirs I don't have for some reason. Looks like I'll be making a purchase ( Read more... )

I never used to use the snooze function. For all intents and purposes, it didn't exist the first 27 years of my life. It's a really bad and pointless habit that I picked up from Virginia. I will now waste an hour or even two of my mornings hitting snooze. I'm sure it would be much better for me to either just sleep until 6:30 or actually get up at ( Read more... )

Yesterday I passed 400 miles running for the year. That's actually just 400 miles since I downloaded the Nike app on Sept 20th and it doesn't include some treadmill runs I was still doing last year, with all the training I'm planning for these half marathons there's a chance I may even get to 500.

I didn't run tonight. I need it. I'm doing a little bit of laundry now and I'm going to try to go to bed early so I can force myself to get up at 4:30 and run. I didn't get that second pillow either. Possibly tomorrow after work ( Read more... )

Monday I had a weird moment of self-realization. It was such a bizarre feeling that it's hard to describe. There I was, driving home from work and over-thinking a series of recent events, as per usual. I was actually starting to feel kind of good about myself. I had previously viewed these things in a negative light, but in this moment something ( Read more... )

The rain stopped, at least I had a few minutes of calm approaching on happiness.

It really sucks when the person you used to be able to talk to about being sad becomes the person who makes you sad.

It also sucks knowing you're a mopey depressed whiny fuck, and yet you can do nothing about it.

The weather is starting to get me down. I have wanted to go for a run all day. I have NEEDED to go for a run all day, but I can't. I can't run on a treadmill for more than 3 miles. I just can't get past the mental block of running in one spot. Running is supposed to clear my head and running on a treadmill does anything but that. I might try to get ( Read more... )

After the excessive amount of alcohol drank last week I am going to attempt to remain sober for awhile ( Read more... )
