Saturday

Saturday, November 26, 2011

I somehow have officially gained 17 pounds since November 15.
The only reason I can find for this BS is that thats about a week after I switched to whole grains and wheat cardboard.
So you know what?
F$%# you WHOLE GRAINS.
At least when I ate white bread and bagels I only had 5 servings a week (maybe).

emoticon I know I love myself today because:
emoticon When I saw another 5 pounds on the scale this morning, I decided to go for a short run instead of doing an ST session.
emoticon Instead of doing two and a half miles, I did 8.70 miles.
emoticon Instead of going to Park Slope or staying in my neighborhood, I treated myself to the Verrazano for the first time in forever.
emoticon on my period.

Weekly Half marathon Picture Blog (Coastline Edition)

I walked the last mile, the bones in my feet and hips were killing me.
I stopped and took a tan that lasted the length of JLo’s “On the Floor”.
I broke into a Parks and Recreation office and doused myself in cold water.
I took about 40 pictures.
All that time spent making my run more enjoyable and I finished my no-hurry little half in 3 hours to the minute.

Now I feel like a Barbie doll that some bratty 8 year old yoinked the legs off of and popped back in. Hobbling everywhere. I feel like Tyrion with my graceful strides.

But a happy high-born Barbie doll Imp to be sure. because the sun shone on me! It was such a gloriously beautiful day/run. I didn’t care about the pain, I closed my eyes and threw back my head and smiled up at the warmth.

Owl’s Head Park








The Veterans/911 Memorial Pier (Cherry blossoms everywhere!!)






Shore Line



(teeny sailboat!)


(I went wayyyyyyyyyyyyy past my usual stopping point and left the bridge behind me)

My newest goal destination- that little strip of island wayyyyyyyyyyyyy out there. By the end of summer, I will tack that on to the end of my verrzano run, I think it will add about 10 miles.



O_o oh well, go big or go home, right?

I turned back around and headed back to the city.



(my happy imp shadow)

Also- I want to play at this playground I found by my house, it has an itty bitty track around it!

Time to get busy recovering so I can do another half this coming Sunday, in the meantime… tonight is boxing.

What are you up to tonight? What are you going to do to release excess tension/ stress/ anger/ anxiety /fear /grumpiness /laziness?
