A Quarter Of A Point For Me

Not a great run today. I decided not to use the running program on my treadmill – just felt like doing a straight run. But it was weak. I know a large part of it is that I went to bed really late last night- too late. Not that I was doing anything, just wired up. I have got to get better about my sleeping habits. And I have got to stop watching Criminal Minds when I am alone. 
And then a song came on that made me…sad. And I lost all momentum. Music is so powerfully motivating for me.  I have got to get an ipod so I can get some of the right tunes going.  I need to get fired up and pumped when I run…the poignant and melancholy stuff doesn’t do it.
But the big picture is that I got up and did it, good run or not, and that’s something.  As long as I stay committed, I’m okay. Maybe not satisfied, but okay.   And I’m generally not satisfied anyway – I always seem to want more, bigger, faster, harder…an insatiable appetite.
And since I have a fondness for sharing bad pictures of myself – the first sans makeup and with mustache, the second sans makeup with pool hair – here is a shot of my nerdy look. I do have on makeup so it’s an upgrade, although I am not thrilled about having to wear the glasses. Oh well, I guess that’s what I get for wearing the same disposable contacts for 9 months…
This little Lebanese is off to work…

Love the cut! :) Beautiful lady! Keep up the running....I can't wait to start next week. We are going to add boxing to our workouts at least twice a week. Should be interesting. Now if only I could stick to a boxer's diet! Hahaha!

Thanks! The picture doesn't really show the cut very well but that's keeping with the unflattering picture theme...I'm still learning how to fix it.

Boxing sounds fun! So you'll be hot and dangerous - I like it!
