I went running tonight, and I want to die.

My friend Michael, who doesn’t blog anymore, and I have been talking about running together for a few weeks now and tonight we finally made it happen.  We have about a three mile circle around our neighborhood and we did the whole thing.  Now, he has been running for a few weeks.  I have not.  I went once last week, and then didn’t want to anymore forgot the rest of the week.

See the thing is I’m not a runner so I have to really hype myself up about it.  I have to convince myself that I like it and really want to do it.  I have to tell myself the next morning that the reason my leg won’t work is because I did something good.  That’s hard for my brain to do.

I did however realize that if I have the right apparel for running it makes a world of difference.  Tank-tops and running shorts.  I’ve never owned either, but I see where it helps.  This picture is of me just before my run.  

I’m completely lying.  This is one of the nastiest pictures I have ever seen and I apologize if it offends you. But honestly, it should offend you, I mean look at it.  Could it get nastier?   And really when it comes down to it, it’s amusing to me, so I get to have it on here.  Come on.  You know it’s funny.

Seriously though.  Running is good for you or something.  You should do it more.  As long as Michael can put up with me whining like a baby the whole time, I’ll keep giving it a shot. 

You run?
