I Ran!

I did it! I almost didn't do it. The alarm went off at 5am and I said NO WAY. Thanks to Diane and her introducing me to the Snoozerator, I was able to snooze uninterrupted for 24 minutes. A couple years back, she informed me that Sony makes alarm radio's with a variable snooze. Each tap of the snooze bar adds 8 minutes. So at 5am, snooze snooze snooze and I got me an extra 24 minutes of sleep.

The alarm now goes up at 5:24am. That's when I remembered my commitment to myself. That's when I began insulting myself. "Get up you fat piece of shit, come on sloth! You complain about not being happy about your belly then don't do anything about it? GET UP!" Then I said, "Alright already geez you can be mean! I'm getting up! Man a ballbuster you are."

I drove over to Tamiami Park. FIU is literally across the street. I like running there because there is lots of grass and it's less pounding on the body. And so I ran, I ran so far away. I just ran. I ran all night and day. I couldn't get away.

Sorry, I broke into song there. I want to credit Flock of Seagulls for that. Wow, I am giddy. I guess the endorphins are the body's very own happy drug. Another 5k or 3.1 miles. This time in 31 minutes and change. I am approaching that 30 minute mark. Yay for me!
