Running Her Mouth: You're a Clever Boy

Blog Mission, In Simple Terms

"I'm a road-runner, baby." Jr. Walker

I'm a road-runner running and writing a blog consisting of run~on sentences about running while sharing a deep concentration with the music in my ears, so that one day my boys, Elijah and Levi, will be able to read up and keep it real; Run~ons just may be the most effective way to convey my health seeking mission to people who don't know me or do, but then I pretty much like the idea that language/structure can be as playful as the subject itself, plus the reader may decide that running~on in a run~on sentence kind~of~way, might be beneficial to him or her that is right now, as of this moment here, basically undiscovered or unawakened.

The blog used to be heavily augmented by my facebook page which featured SOTD (song of the day), however I don't have the time to do that anymore; the blog has also taken on a very flexible schedule of it's own where I closely examine pretty much anything I want, in my own special way, something that piqued my interest during the previous month; if it piques yours, well, that would be pretty cool, too.

You're a Clever Boy

I usually plan a long run for Saturdays on my quiet Friday evening. I kinda play the run out in my head and go to bed with a plan. I love the plan.

Not tomorrow! Nope, tomorrow is the fourth consecutive day I get to lounge around the house sipping coffee, the bottomless cup.

I took up drinking coffee since the running has stopped. Normally keep away from the stuff. I asked my husband, who drinks espresso, which is just too strong for me, to rifle through the attic and retrieve our grinder and coffee maker. I've since gone to the market TWICE to get coffee beans. Now, I'm compulsive about it! That's a lot of coffee. It'd be nice to have running back since it has occurred to me that healthy compulsions are the best kind to have and because running on this level where training is involved requires an immaculate diet (where percentages in the various food groups are meticulously planned), (those large quantities of) coffee just might not be the best choice.

Sometimes I'll even post my intended workout for Saturday on facebook. That post would include my projected mileage for the run maybe I'd make brief mention of a certain road or loop I might be travelling on and of course I would say a bit about how I would be feeling about the run.

So today is tomorrow and I'm on the couch with bottomless cup #3. I am looking forward to tomorrow's run. Making plans and getting ready to make a change in every way.

I can't believe the endless moments I've spent thinking about my current situation. And while 76 weeks of event free running has been a blessing and a few days to a week off is small price to pay, working toward being smarter is going to be key. The performance I expect from myself in the marathon changes everything.

Tomorrow, I am looking forward to you. Hematite and I are on a quest for an event free run.
