DAY THIRTEEN

He's turned his life around. He used to be depressed and miserable. Now he's miserable and depressed. - Harry Kalas
That quote sums up my day at the gym. I was reminded of it when the super muscle woman on the treadmill next to me asked what I was training for. I let her know about my goal to run a 5k...blah blah blah....out of shape....yada yada. She motivated me by letting me know how good I would feel about "turning my life around". HMMM....I started to think about this while I ran (and I made 1.5 miles again) Do I really want to "turn my life around"? I kinda liked it when I was couching it! maybe "re-prioritize" but totally turn my life around, that is a huge committment. My "free spirit" "hippie slacker" "easy going" persona is kinda the only thing I DIG about me.....REALLY!!! DO I WANT TO CHANGE THAT??????
Some would say ....PLEASE CHANGE THAT.... (mom, dad, family members etc...) But still don't think I want to! Sorry...So today, turning my life around could mean instead of being Lazy and Happy I'll be Happy and Lazy....while running a 5k! Yeah, a happy, lazy, 5k runner. Oh yeah, and I finally had enough air in my lungs while I was running to sing the words to one of my favorite songs....."I'll never be your Beast of Burden....Your a pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty girl...." love me some Mick Jagger. I hope the other treadmillers love the stones as much as I do!!!!
