Just call me Forest Gump yo

Some of you may know that I have signed up for the Chicago Half Marathon Race in July. I am almost done with one week of training. Only 11 more to go. What WHAT! It’s been pretty great so far. Frustrating food wise, but I am learning a lot about my body. Like where certain smells come from and…no wait…not that kind of learning.

I have such an awful relationship with food. Hence why I am single. Or part of the reason why I am. Sigh. I’m hoping that training and running in the half marathon will develop better eating habits that I can continue forever. I really want to be down about 15 pounds. It’s so hard when no one else around me is conscious about what they’re eating. That sounds like I’m blaming them, I’m not. It’s all me. All the time. I just need to keep myself busy and watch my eating triggers.

Life feels like it’s at a plateau right now. Hopefully this mood will lift and I can write some more uplifting stuff. Such as a comedy bit I’m working on about the types of people you find at the gym. Especially naked Asian ladies. It’s insane the amount of them that walk around in the locker rooms. I get self-conscious in a snowsuit and goggles. I admire their confidence even if it kind of weirds me out.

Enough for now. Go outside. It’s nice out. It’s hard sitting and working when I can see sunlight and a path I can run.

Side note on dating life or whatever you call it when you hang out with the same dude all the time: He gets cuter every day. It’s kind of jarring the way I like him. It’s in a duh, of course I’m yours kind of way. Or in a this is what it’s all about kind of way. Maybe I’m just older. Or have gotten disappointed too many times before. Or maybe, this is finally where I’m supposed to be.

If you’re reading this….dude, I know you’ll make fun of me for it later….that’s why I write stuff like this. Well that, and it’s the truth.
