i'm really looking forward to this. i read the chirunning book and watched the video but i had a hard time incorporating the techniques into my running.)

Maybe it's not the pain of losing love or even the agony of loving someone that didn't love me back, but the fear of losing control of my heart again, whatever the outcome may be, that deters me from opening myself up to the possibility again.

stargazerbaby7 was commenting that maybe part of the reason why i'm am so susceptible to catching stuff from sick children is because i didn't get sick all the time as a kid. maybe she's right - my entire family rarely got sick but since my niece started going to school and getting exposed to sick classmates, we are sick a lot more than we ever have been before. [please note that if i wasn't so sick, i would have come up with a way to avoid using the word 'sick' over and over in a sentence but i'm not well enough to think through this right now.]i just hope i can make it through the 20 mile run tomorrow morning.)

there once was a green girl who wasn't feeling well so she took a nap as soon as she got home from work.
she slept and slept until
chezzac text messaged her to tell her she was going to be in town later in the evening so they could meet up for dinner.now that the green girl was awake, she got out of bed and went to check her email.
in her inbox, was an email from the new kids on the block inviting her to an exclusive final rehearsal at the house of blues in hollywood. she quickly clicked on the link to rsvp and but they were no longer accepting rsvp's.
she quickly looked at the date and timestamps. the email was sent at 16:30 pacific time. she checked her email at around 20:30. she was four hours too late.
the end.)

I think my favorite quote might be from Pfc. Greg Smith, 21, of Northboro, Mass who said, "Playboy is good entertainment while you are on the can. They have jokes and good stories".
Um, yeah.

(i was too sick yesterday to take my requisite project green girl 365 self-portrait.
now i'm not sure if i can honestly cross that item off my 100 things for 2008. well, technically, it will roll to the next year since it goes until 08 april 2009.
i could start all over from scratch. but i liked the idea of having it run from one birthday to another.
not sure what to do.)
- Mood:
disappointed
(i was still torn between the camouflage etnies and the green running shoes when i came across a pair of new balance w808 trail running shoes in light green and gray with gray camouflage on zappos.com yesterday. they only had a single pair left in my size, 6.5 wide. on a whim, i purchased them.then, i started having doubts so i consulted with the rookie running group on sparkpeople to see what they thought. the general consensus was that even though the 808 is a neutral shoe, it does seem to over some support for over-pronators and they felt i would be able to use them for short runs.
they are pretty cute. while they aren't army green forest camouflage, they do have some green in them and the gray camouflage is cool. they won't perfectly match my wardrobe like the camouflage etnies but i think they will look okay with my outfits. i might even branch out and bring some white or gray clothing to go along with the shoes.
i'll try them out when i get home today. i want to make sure they are comfortable. i also want to make sure i can wear them with my green superfeet insoles.)
- Mood: happy
i knew there was a good possibility i was going to get sick. my niece is almost always sick and every time i go home i get sick.
but that fact doesn't offer me any comfort when all i want to do is go home and crawl into bed.)

I lack self-discipline.
I am passionate and driven by emotion. I can accomplish anything if it's important to me. In fact, nothing can stop me from reaching my goal when I set my mind and heart to it. However, I have a hard time mustering the willpower to complete day-to-day, mundane tasks.
I make excuses for not doing what I need to do. I put things off and then slowly whittle away the time I've allotted for these tasks. I rationalize not doing them altogether. I make "emotional excuses" for myself, condoning my failure to finish a task because of a bad or stressful day...and on and on.
The result of this behavior is always disappointment in myself. I am an intelligent, capable woman, and there's no excuse for my unwillingness to do what needs to be done.
I have lots of work to do.
