I just skipped strait past novice runner and strait to fashiony runner and bought myself a cheetah print running skirt. I decided that I wanted to wear something animal print for my first half marathon. Its an accomplishment that should be commemorated in a way that is fully “me”. I got the shorts from this site/company called www.runningskirts.com. I will post pictures when I get my skirt.
I would like to start by saying that I am very happy with the software update that just came to my G1. I GOT CUPCAKE!!! Yes it makes things look a bit prettier, yes overall it seems zippier. What I am most excited about is the ability to stream music via bluetooth to headphones or some other device that will have it. In my Golf i had a nice stereo that I could do this too. It cut down on all the clutter and mess of wires in the car. I could also take calls with it but people had trouble hearing me and thats not really why I got it. I also used to have a pair of Motorokr S9 headphones which are wireless headphones that play your music and take calls. Loved not having the wires.
Then the G1 came out and I had to be cool like Mario and get one knowing that I was taking a step back and not having the ability to stream music which was unfortunate because of programs like Last.fm, Stream Furious, and the 8bg memory card I put in that has a fair amount of music on it. Since HTC felt like being stupid and not adding a 3.5 mm headphone jack I had to get an adapter that was like 3 feet long, and then hook that into the headphones for a long mess of wires that always get tangled up. I look like one of those infomertials where using headphones was hard and confusing until the product they were selling came along to save me.
Bu
t bluetooth streaming finally was given to us in the Cupcake update. And to celebrate I am going all Bluetoothy.
on ebay I bought the Backbeat 903. Its a little less bulky than the Motorokrs. I think these will be great for Jogging and the gym in the winter. And maybe the bus.
I went for a long run this weekend and the cord for my headphones was such a pain in the ass. I hope they come soon!!!
Clearly I am dreading my decision to change this latest habit when I use the word poo heady to describe what I think of the process.
This week I decided that my morning habits had to change. when I first moved in to our house I would get up and go walk Mono while Mario was in the shower. And I don’t know when it happened, probably some time in a winter month, but I started to feed the dog, make her go potty and then we would go back to bed and cuddle for another while. Lately I have been sleeping in a little longer, and having to rush more often in the morning and I am getting tired of it. So now that its getting lighter earlier and a little warmer I figured its probably a good time to change the habit. What I would like to do is wake up when the dog walks on my head (aka – 6 am) get out of bed, feed the dog, take the dog for a nice long walk, and then do a little light weight workout in my “gym” (aka the library, aka the guest room, aka the south wing, aka where I keep the swedish ball, hand weights, and yoga mat that I own). All of this and I want to have time so that I can shower, throw some lunch items in a bag, and be out the door by 8:00 am. So that alot to change. This is going to be a phased change.
Phase one: stay awake, don’t go back to bed. (two days down, 3 work days to go)
Phase 2: take mono for a walk, leaving by 6:15
phase 3: integrate some sort of light exercise other than just walking into my morning (I can’t imagine I will every be awake enough in the morning to run…unless chased, then I would hope I would wake up pretty quickly)
One of the things that waight watchers has helped me understand is just how much control over how I look and feel I have. Along with the weight loss I want to be more productive. I want to get to a point where I can maintain my weight by being active and not have to pay for a Gym membership. One day at a time they say…. works just as well for WW as it does for AA.
Wish me luck!
