Rainbows and Philosophy

I ran a mile last night in 9:26.3. Yay!

I also saw a rainbow. It was very pretty. Click here to watch my reaction.

Francesca called last night: "Do you like running now?" she asks.
"No," I reply. "I still hate it."
"Then why are you doing it?"
I have to ponder this one. I don't know why I'm doing something I hate. I think it is because I hate it a little bit less than the day before.

Here's my philosophy (Philosophy is a waste of time, but even I like to pontificate on matters that transcend the rational, logical, and the real. Um, like, yeah.): I'm not very good at hating things. I just could care less. Mostly, I'm just indifferent. I assure you, as much as I am capable of hating anything, I hated (deliberate use of past tense) running. I'm moving towards indifference. Sweet action!

You know I like my Chicken Fried

Tasted really good. Hurt stomach when ran. Don't eat before running again. Check.

I ran at home this weekend, up to Gethsemane church and back twice. No cars/4-wheelers/horses passed me, so at least I didn't have to tell a cousin/uncle/family member of unknown relation/perfect stranger that no, I'm not running from the law/a mad dog/an armed serial killer, and that no, I don't need a ride to the hospital/home/Nana's/or just a ride drivin' around, because, why run when you can drive?

I Swallowed A Bug

Last night, I was running, feeling the burn, but otherwise doing good. Then I swallowed a gnat. Cough, wheeze, wheeze, cough, snort, GULP.

I persevered and ran twice as far as the time before. Yay, me. I'm up to like a half mile. Hardcore!

Then I ate some Oreos.

KendraLynism for the day: I've heard, "Do or do not; there is no try." I think that came from Yoda. I say: "I think I could have outrun Yoda with his gnarly, stumpy legs. Although he most certainly would have beaten me in a lightsaber battle."
