John asked me tonight, "What do you want to do? Go running or write your paper?" ummmmm... neither? So he turned on some rockin music on Pandora and it got my feet moving. I really did not want to go out tonight though. Once on the street we turned on Pandora on John's phone and I must admit that when Van Halen started playing Jump I had to try to stifle a big, loopy grin on my face for how much I was enjoying jogging to the music right in that moment. Unfortunately that moment didn't last long because the phone began buffering and didn't start playing anything again until I finished my ten minute run, two minute walk, and just began my eight minute run. So I had a lot of time with just my thoughts and they went something like this:
I'm always surprised at how well I can do these runs, for how much I DREAD them ... One of these days when I'm running for miles and miles I'll look back on days like today and wonder how I ever thought running ten minutes was really hard ... Man, actually I really really don't want to be running miles and miles ... For real. Will the day come when I actually am enjoying this rather than dreading it? And Lindsay, what will it take for you to remember to stretch before you go out running!?
When I got home I did some yoga stretches that felt wonderful and then I looked up the video for Jump so I could share this epic running song with you. And I had a good laugh at the video. Wow.
