Who Turned The Heat Up and Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me???

Ok....whose idea was it to turn up the frickin heat on my run today at lunch and no one told me?? 

(lookie here to the left....)

This dumb ass should have looked at the temperature before heading out in her running tights, fleece and stocking hat.  Duh!
Needless to say, I sweat my boobies off today on Day 2 of "Couch to 5K".  Um, note to self: no need to wear all this gear when its 61 DEGREES OUT!!!  Good lord.  If I didn't look goofy running already I am sure I looked crazy truckin down Rosebud. For my running track, I do an "out" and back "in" route to my car, so I considered shedding clothes and the STOCKING HAT (nerd)...but then I got to thinking "I don't want to cause a traffic jam stripping all this hotness off"  HA!  I didn't want to make it "rain down on Rosebud" with all the dollar bills being thrown my way(again, um not) from the drivers by. 



Then, to make matters worse 1) my gum pooped out on me and 2) my new skull candy earbuds aren't cutting it.  Let's break it down first with my cheap ass gum.  I guess that's what I get for buying a 3 pack at Dollar Tree.  I thought "what a deal!".  My favorite gum for a buck!!  Well, it's probably an expired pack from 2004 because that's what it tasted like.  Hell, it didn't even get me midway of my run.  And then the bad thing is, I didn't want to spit it out.  I needed something to pass the time with tunes I can barely hear in my ears.  My gum was so lame, the pic to the left shows the pathetic bubble I got of the last bit of my bubble gum.  Now my earbuds are another story- well, maybe it's the "CLOMP, CLOMP, CLOMP" of my heavy feet on the pavement- I'm going with the earbuds as the problem, not the user (smile).  I had a major jam going on my mix today: Fine Young Cannibals, Dokken (yes, I typed Dokken), Pink and Cake to name a few.  What pissed me off, was during my jog stretches, it was "in CLOMP, my CLOMP, dreams..CLOMP".  Holy balls- at the least I could attempt to get with the beat with my hooves, but NOOOO....so that was a total distraction. 

Welp, isn't this a fine pic?????  This a goober head that had a stocking hat on during a heat wave...now, a couple things here; a) I need a frickin HAIRCUT!!! b) See those beads of sweat?  Well, they are actually droplets of vodka that have been in my system since New Year's Eve. c) Don't be deceived by the Southeast Cross County shirt.  I wear that to make people do a double-take.  ("Did that woman really run cross country??")  Let me answer that for you- HELL TO THE NO.  I stole that shirt out of lost and found from Lincoln Southeast HS back in 1999.  You know that t-shirt that feels so good, you hate to throw it away?  Yep, it's this one for me.  Plus I love wearing it to the gym  to soak in all the crazy looks. 

Check this pic out!!  This is my post workout lunch:  Quinoa with sweet potatoes, arugula and parm cheese.  You know, not bad.  It's hard to put a finger on what it tasted like.  I know for a fact it isn't going to fly with Fredly.  I'm going to totally have to disguise it in a casserole or something.  I'd eat it again- so BAM!    Tonight I made a low fat Italian Wedding Soup with turkey meatballs.  It was delishousness!!  Hell, I'm turning in to quite the Betty Crocker.

All in all, not a bad day.  I'm down 3 pounds, day 7 of the cleanse and I'm still smiling.  Now tomorrow goes to 4 shakes and one meal for three days.  Lord help us all- but bonus for you all- that's when the blogs get REALLY GOOD-- until the next post- Later!
