Must be something about 23

Ok, so I didn't post my progress for last week, but here it is. Last time I ran was last Tuesday. I actually went twice. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. However by the time the afternoon rolled around, I was not as energetic as I thought and realized that it was incredibly hot outside so I walked and pondered life. Sometimes I think that's part of my problem...I'm a ponderer. When I'm outside like that, the first thing I want to do is take a stroll and think and pray. I can't think and pray while running. Ok, i take that back, I can think and pray, but the thought is usually, "This sucks and when is it gonna end" and the prayer is usually, "Please, God, put me out of my misery." I can't seem to get past those two things while running to get any farther.

I've also realized that my body is way different than it used to be. For instance, I think I gain weight just by breathing in air now. I'm like the only person who I think could be thrown out into the middle of Africa with only a bowl of rice and a bottle of water and still gain weight. I truly believe that the cure for world hunger may lie within my metabolism. Perhaps I have a glandular problem. Anyway, I will hopefully have the opportunity to go for a run this afternoon. I dunno. I guess it depends on whether or not my glandular problem will allow me to do so.

There's a really funny monologue on a Danielle Howle CD, "Live at the McKissick" where she says that she thinks that at age 26, her body begins shift. Butt shift, boob shift, it all shifts. I'm not looking forward to 26, if that's the case.

"Shift, shift ... I did not order this shift! Take it back!"
