Randoms - week of 9/19

[itsme]

I read the price as $1,899 and thought how in the heck can I justify a $2000 backpack?! Then I actually clicked the pic and it all came together.

Yay! Runners! I love to run. I would not be sane without running. I wish I had done more when I was younger. I ran my first half marathon in April and hope to run another in December. I hope to run a marathon sometime next year. I just have to pray my knees don't give up on me.

The runners are coming out!

I used to run daily, but after running a half marathon I AM OVER it. I have no effing desire to run at all. I think I need to do something though. Ugh, I have to lose this baby weight.

sfy - Oooh that bag looks nice. Whatever you do, don't get a LO&Sons bag.

I want to love running, I really do, but I can't do it. It's torture from beginning to end. I like spin but I rarely get to go. I want to swim but I don't want to deal with my hair. Excuses, I have them I do love lifting and I should start going to a few classes since I'm paying for them.

My random- I'm so excited it's Wednesday. My shows are on tonight. Blind spot at 7, empire at 8 and blackish at 8:30. I need to quit empire but I'm addicted to the bad soap opera that is the Lyon family.

I LOVE lifting weights.  I hated running so much before but I needed to up my cardio game so I took up what I thought would be free.  LOLOLOL at free after a ton of races later and running gear expenses.

I jumped into a FB discussion happening on a friends page regarding recent incidents and think I actually got through to someone. I even recommended The New Jim Crow and they are going to read it. They even sent me a private message thanking me for the dialogue and said that it really made an impact on them. This apparently is an older, white man and he said that even in his old age his is not against changing his opinion on a subject. I can't believe I actually got through to someone. Usually I just piss people off and they think that I am anti-cop.

On a side note, why are LEO wives usually the worst? I know this is not always true and I know some fantastic LEO spouses, but damn they are the worst.

I have many random rambles.

My family all left town today after a visit and mother sent me a text telling me she had boarded and thanking me. She told me I am always a very gracious hostess. I'm beaming like a maniac right now. My mother is totally the hostess with the mostest, so this is very high praise indeed. Her guest rooms and welcome spreads are legendary lol.

I really need to live closer to my sweet baby nephew . I feel legit heartache when he leaves! Ugh.

Also, I finally found some really comfortable gold strappy sandals. They look like 1980s Solid Gold dancer shoes, complete with a t-strap (I fucking HATE t-straps!!!), but like a Solid Gold dancer, I can dance all night in them if I want. They also look like something Rosie Perez may have come down the Soul Train line in, so this is all making sense.

Lastly, any time I mention to anyone that I am going to the post office or need to go, they act like I just stepped out of a time machine, but every time I go (which is probably a couple times a month), the post office is banged out. How, Sway?

I hope you feel better soon, socratic. I am glad you are going to go back. It's kind of addictive if you like it.

"The pain in my parts" is killing me, especially with the accent I have assigned to you in my head .

I loved running but my ankles weren't having it. My friend's husband is in orthopedic medical sales and I was talking to them about how I was having trouble with my runs and he started telling me how much the surgeons (and him lol) love that everyone runs now. I was all .

I posted a few weeks about being nominated for a leadership academy at school. Today, I got my acceptance letter.

[sfy]

Congratulations, orangeblossom ! You're killing it!

I never really liked running because it is exercise, but I did it because it was basically free and worked and I could easily track my progress and I need constant gratification for anything exercise related. But I was born with collapsed arches and the othropedist told me to never run again. My trainer has been telling me for years that running is overrated anyway. But now I feel like the time that I was running has caused serious feet issues. I am in pain now. So yeah, no more running for me.

Ugh, I'm sorry. That sucks.

When my sister went to get fitted for running shoes once, the guy told her she had weak ankles and needed extra support. That made me think maybe I was just born with bad ankles and the running just exacerbated things.
