Yesterday started with pouring myself two cups of coffee. In two different cups. I either forgot that I didn't have company or forgot that I had already poured a cup two seconds before pouring the second. It actually turned out to be kind of convenient. Also, don't be envious of my counter tops.
While drinking one or both of those coffees, I discovered something in Runner's World and I think they are really trying to rub salt in my almost-healed wound. I know that my would-be first half-marathon was 3 months ago and I should probably just move on, but when RW told me it's one of the top 27 halfs in the country (#20), I got a little bummed again. Mostly because we probably won't be living here next October so I probably won't get another shot at this one. I will just have to find an even cooler one!
I did a little regular yoga (as opposed to the usual at home hot yoga because the heat wasn't crankin) and because I can't take a picture while doing yoga, I offer you this:
Do you think that is a picture of a.) my monochromatic workout clothes/pajamas OR b.) the reason why I don't leave my house very often?
Trick question, it is both!
My favorite part of the yoga dvd is when the instructor says "now place your forehead on the floor." The only way I can do this is if I am laying on my stomach, and those words are spoken when I am on my feet. I am trying to reconcile this, but I just don't understand.
I'm not going to lie, I spent a good chunk of the day sitting around watching 20/20 on TLC (basically all real life stories of people who killed and/or scammed their loved ones--why do I like this?) and wishing that someone would text me and ask me to do something with them. I should make this wish more often, because it actually came true! Yes and yes to very big burritos. And no it wasn't Frank who texted me, we have friends. I just don't want to put them on my blog without their consent, and I find it awkward to ask for consent. How can that even come up naturally in conversation?
Do you like burritos? What's the best burrito you've ever had?
Do you usually wear some kind of lulu-tastic workout clothes or old college t-shirts?
Can you "place your forehead on the floor" or do any challenging yoga poses?
I use to be able to put my legs behind my head... Not so much now! I love burritos and any kind of Mexican food really. I do not work out in cotton shirts any more, thank goodness. You are very brave!
ReplyDeleteIf brave = underemployed and cheap, then yes!
DeleteThat sounds very familiar.
DeleteI love burritos - but here in Canada our burritos suck. So the only good ones I've had are when I have been down in California.
ReplyDeleteI usually wear the LuLu style of workout wear, although 1/2 of it is from cheaper alternatives (where the fabrics and make are just as good for 1/4 of the price!). I used to wear just plain t-shirts, but I just can't anymore. I ran one race in a cotton shirt and thought I was going to die.
I need to find some of those.cheaper alternatives...I even think Target is too expensive!
DeleteI'm not gonna lie... I'm obsessed with 20/20 and 48 hours and all those shows about insane real life murders and betrayals. I have to cover my eyes during violent movie scenes (which are FAKE!), but I can't get enough of the true life scariness. I've often wondered what is wrong with me.
ReplyDeleteBurritos... There's a place called Illegal Pete's in Boulder, Colorado, that has the best burritos ever, hands-down. A place called Big City Burrito is in second place with their killer breakfast burritos (potatoes for the win!). Unfortunately, I live in New Jersey and they only burritos we've got are from Chipotle and Qdoba. It's just not the same.
So glad I am not the only "normal" person watching those shows ;)
DeleteNO challenging yoga poses for me. I am too tight from running, ugh! The only people pics I put on my blog are usually fellow bloggers or myself since it is awkward to ask non-blogging people:) When I work out at home, I really slum it. If I am at the gym, I try to look a bit nicer, but I still wear race t-shirts sometimes:)
ReplyDeleteI guess I need to meet some bloggers so I can put other people on my blog!
DeleteOnce upon a time I was flexible, no longer. I should work on that but it seems I would rather run and then take a nap. Anything but stretch really. My forehead only touches the floor when I am on my belly too. I like to run all lulutastic but for home usually shorts and a sports bra, something I would never do in public.
ReplyDeleteI only ran in a sports bra in public or at home at age 18 and 19. Before that my mom said no and after that...you can guess!
DeleteYou will have lots of greaaaat races when you're all healed up! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with the whole putting other people/friends on blog thing - not unless it's by consent, and it's weird to ask!! So, it's always my face. haha!
I don't own a single pair of lulu stuff - I always say, one day, I'll own a button from there and I'll be more than happy!! The scruffy, oversized t-shirt look for me!!
Yesssss, scruffy look solidarity! I have never even seen a lulu store in real life!
DeleteOld college cotton sweaty ass tshirts. Because I have too many and I hope that one day I'll be able to wear them all out and buy fancy clothes...that will never happen beccause I have a plethora. It depends on my mood if I ask for photos for the blog...most people know I have one so it's not too weird now...to weird being key.
ReplyDeleteToo weird is key, you are right sister!
DeleteI could totally watch true crime shows like 20/20 all day. It's been known to happen...on more than one occasion.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be back to racing in no time! And there are leaf peeper races all over, so you might still be able to do one that's similar, even if it's not Runner's World-worthy. :)
I will find one that is so cool that RW doesn't even know about yet!
DeleteIs that a BU burrito?? Most delicious place. Ever. I go there each time I visit back home.
ReplyDeleteYES! It definitely is BU :) We live like 4 blocks from BU, it is pretty great.
DeleteLove your blog! And burritos are hard to beat:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by--have a great day!
