I ran today for about 3 miles.  It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t great.  The humidity was RIDICULOUS and it was hot.  So, I kind of sucked.  But I did it.  It got me to thinking about some of my running quirks and other random running thoughts I have…

1.  I hate when the earphone cord moves around as I run.  I put it through my sports bra and try to keep it from flapping around.

2.  I HAVE to wear my hair back with a fabric headband thing.  I also have to spray it with a ton of hairspray.  I’m really not a fan of hair flying in my face.

3.   Sometimes I’m a bandwagon runner… I don’t like the cold weather.  At. All.  Now that it’s gotten nicer, I’m likely to run more.

4.  Often I yawn while running… a lot.  It’s strange.  And it doesn’t stop.

5.  Running without music is just not an option for me.  I need to have my iPod with me.  HOWEVER, I have never ever made a playlist.  It makes me anxious because then I’d feel like it needs to be perfect.  So, instead, I run and get amped up to Linkin Park only to be shocked into submission by Phil Collins… agh!

6.  Everyone says running (exercise in general) gives you endorphins.  I’ll agree with that.  But I get something else too… DUMB AS SHIT.  I can’t do anything for the following like hour that requires brain power.  This is one reason why I don’t run before work…. who am I kidding?  I don’t run before work because it would require me to wake up earlier… ha!
