Hunger Games and more running

Why do I always blog after I run? Not sure. But here we go!

Today was difficult. I left work early, very eager to get to the park since it was so nice outside. After jogging merely a couple feet, I knew this was going to be a looong run. My calves were not happy. Not happy at all. It's probably from when Jered and I alternated sprints with walking this past Monday. Oh yeah, and we were sure to make our sprints on the uphill.

So anyway, today was a day where I told myself, Self, you just need to buckle down and do this because it's not going to get any easier.

There was a moment of "oh this is fun!" when as I was running, the sun broke from behind the clouds and Mumford & Sons were singing "Awake my soul!" and I was on a downhill facing the beaming light and I spread out my arms and swayed back and forth a little and it was a perfect moment where myself, the world, and the universe was one in song and motion.

Sometimes I dance while I run.

On an entirely different note, I just finished Hunger Games. Couldn't. Put. It. Down. I went to the library online to put a hold on the second book and I'm number 200 on, like, 11 copies. So I told myself that if I was really, really good and didn't eat any cookies or drink any Starbucks at work and if I worked out and was really, really nice to my husband then I would go buy myself the second book.

Well, that day was today. I bought the book after work.

So then I told myself, if I am really, really good and don't eat any cookies or drink any Starbucks at work and if I worked out and was really, really nice to my darling husband then I will go buy myself the third book on Monday.

I'll let you know how that goes. What good incentive!
