Today I chose to finish my metal sculpture project which overlapped on my running time. However I still did sweat quite a lot though! The good news is I got my project done, and it was raining when I got home anyway, so I got a great excuse to put my feet up. Item for today - a welding torch.

It was an average run. I was on a good pace. Just as a passed my halfway point - jamming out to queen - a huge German shepherd ran out from underneath a fence barking and scared the crap out of me. Luckily it was on a chain that that stopped him from eating me alive, but it caught me off guard enough to make me scream like a girl while running past rush hour traffic stopped at the stoplight. Proud moment. My item today is a ferocious barking dog.
Getting the motivation to run today was not easy...bed and coffee was calling my name, but I got myself out. On the hill that always kills me the song "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand came on and all I could think of was Chinese takeout. Fried rice, sesame chicken, beef and broccoli - those thoughts got my tired butt up the hill. Tired, coffee deprived brains think very strange thoughts. Item for today - Chinese takeout box.
Amazingly I was awake at 9 am when I could have slept until noon. I was being extremely productive - I got my whole house cleaned, drank a pot of coffee and even got my butt going enough to go on a run. However, because I was standing all day at work the day before, and because I was lucky enough to inherit crappy knees from my dad I had some pretty bad knee pain that manifested itself about halfway through my run. Needless to say I toughed it out and actually had a pretty good run. Now off to be a great boyfriend and detail my girlfriend's car. My item for today - knee pain.
