Thoughts while I run.

Today, I ran for the first time in about 9 months. I ran for a few months while I was pregnant, and was only recently given the "all clear" to start running again. Although I run with music, I always find my thoughts funny as they wander all over the place as I try to distract myself from running. Some of my thoughts tonight are as follows.

- running when you are fat is hard. The last time I ran, I was probably in the best shape I had ever been in. I felt like a gazelle. Tonight, I felt like an elephant clodding along. I know it will get better, but man it sucks.

- right now, I weigh as much as I did when I first went on the South beach diet. I weigh exactly 50 pounds more than I did when I found out I was pregnant. This sucks and I try not to focus on it. I have a very healthy baby boy.

- the word "badonkadonk" makes me laugh every time. However, tonight when I was running and I felt my bum jiggling along, I kept thinking that if most people have a badonkadonk, mine must be a badonkadonkadonkadonk because it felt like it just kept bouncing around. I seriously thought about this one a lot tonight.

- I need to find a good supportive bra. 'nuff said.

- I wore all black while running tonight. It was dark out. I often complain about people who do just that while I'm driving because they are hard to see. I would have complained about myself.

- It was dark out when I was running. For some reason, I was really freaked out by a tree that I passed. I envisioned someone standing behind it watching me. I was creeped out.

- I hate my white running shoes. I want my black and pink Nike shoes back.

- my cell phone sucks. It shut off three times while I was running.

There were more thoughts, but it's late and I'm tired. Night, all.
