GOALLLLL!
Some people I know are naturally very driven and determined. I am not. If I didn’t feel guilt about it, I’d sit on my couch watching Friends reruns and eating potatoes until the end of time. FRIED POTATOES. I suppose it would get boring, but the point is that I don’t function well without goals in my life. Some goals are small, like the goal to email in my paper by Tuesday. Other goals are big, Like spawning my own child someday. Anyway, I need goals. Goals are good for me.
Jessica and I are both, maybe, I think? going to run this 10k race in May. It is less than 2 months away, so it will be painful training for it, but I think I can do it. I have been hoping to be ready for a half marathon soon, but I haven’t been running regularly like i told myself I would. We went to the gym today and Jess signed up for a membership (I got a free month for brinign her in!) and we saw Kevin, the personal trainer who nearly let me die a most awkard death of flying into the standing row machine. Meathead!
Anyway, I guess this means regular workouts and all that good stuff. Less sugar, but more carbs! Yay!
I’m going running tomorrow. If I don’t fall of the face of the earth in pain, I will chitchat about the whole race thing on Wednesday before teaching the field trip OR that night at the exec. director’s potluck. Because we all need goals. Big freaking ass goals all over the place. In Kevin’s face!
And I would have pegged him even if he hadn’t had a huge name tag on. Meathead deluxe.
