2.5 miles, The Tun Ten and Lisa’s date...
OK, so today was my second day running in God knows how long. 2.5 solid miles. After finding out Monday that my new Doctor wants to do blood work, a full physical and that stick a finger in my ass thing. DO I KNOW YOU?
Anyways, one easy cure for hitting fucking 263 pounds is to start exercising again. The run did feel good. And to motivate my fat ass, when I was getting my t-shirt for the Mud Run I didn’t participate in, the Marine I was talking to basically press-ganged me into the running the Tun Tavern Ten. Or told me about it. Whatever. It’s a solid reason to get back to running 6 miles again, and getting in some decent shape. And we KNOW what Lisa would say about that, don’t me, (ALWAYS GO RUNNING).
And speaking of Lisa, for some random ass reason, I thought of her and her “thing”, (not a date, no no no), with the Cute Waiter, (catch up). And she really is the sweetest, cutest, wonderfullest (real word) girl, but all I could think of was this song…
Get some. And join me running the Tun Tavern Ten!

“Starfuckers, Inc.” by Nine Inch Nails
My god sits in the back of the limousine My god comes in a wrapper of cellophane My god pouts on the cover of the magazine My god's a shallow little bitch trying to make the scene
I have arrived and this time you should believe the hype I listened to everyone now I know that everyone was right I'll be there for you as long as it works for me I play a game It's called insincerity
I really missed listening to this song. I’m glad @themisscook suggested I listen to this album tonight.
And, of course, the brief segue into “You’re So Vain” is brilliance.
A dogshit 2.25 miles
That is not how you normally start an uplifting post, is it? But believe it or not, it fits.
For the first time in about three weeks, I ran tonight. NOT pretty. I have gained back weight from being an inactive boor, and and indulging in ridiculously poor eating and drinking habits. That’s on me. I earned it, I deserve it.
The toe thing, (I smashed the fucker a couple weeks ago), was a bitch. Would NOT heal, at times, had a problem even walking on it. But while not a 100% tonight, I decided to give it a go.
Good 1/4 mile warm up walk, then I “ran” a 1/2 mile. SMH. Felt like every joint and muscle in my legs was like WTF? Had to slow down and walk another 1/4 mile to allow my calf to uncramp. Ran another 1/2 mile. Another 1/4 mile walk. Finally, was on a good run, got 1 1/4 miles in, but after a basic month of inactivity, that was all she wrote. Got a good walk in after, to allow the muscles to unwind.
And while you may have read that and thought “Jesus, what a LOSER”, it was a start. I know that within a short time, I can be back to running 6 miles again. But you start, (and sometimes restart), somewhere. One step, one 1/2 mile at a time.
And even if it wasn’t glorious and heroic, it made me feel good. Honestly, I needed it to get back on track. Just Jesus GOD, do NOT tell Lisa that!
Take one step. Then another. And one more after that. From humble beginnings...
“The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner” by Iron Maiden
Maiden Monday
I've got to keep running the course I've got to keep running and win at all costs I've got to keep going, be strong Must be so determined and push myself on
One of the longest and least creative songs titles, the reason becomes apparent when the listener learns that the song, like so many others, is based on a story/novella of the same name.
Initially skeptical about how exciting a song about a most uneventful sport could be, the band did a great job of creating tension and a main melody to create a loose song structure for the listener to latch onto. Still, the chorus isn’t exactly catchy and you probably won’t find yourself singing or humming it, it works as musical representation of a piece of literature.
And on a Tumblr-related side note, I always think about the runners I follow here (themisscook and littlerunnergurl, primarily)and wonder if they’ve ever heard this song and what they might think of it.
Wednesday Wonderings
Did you ever wonder if it’s okay to have entire conversations in internet speak with yourself, right? Asking for a friend.
Did you ever wonder why, if strawberry blonde is a thing, why raspberry blonde isn’t? I’m looking at you themisscook.
Did you ever wonder what the internet would do without alliteration?
Did you ever wonder why we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
Did you ever wonder why you can’t have an unlisted mailbox? I mean, if they can prevent companies from calling my phone to sell me useless shit, why can’t we do this with the mail system? Oh yeah, it’s because the Post Office is trying to justify their existence by promoting business “direct mailings” - aka, junk mail. Let it go - you’re obsolete.
