Today’s Random Thoughts While Running

Filed under: General,Random Thoughts While Running — beverly at 6:57 am on Thursday, April 7, 2005

This is how my brain works, so in foresight, I’ve created a category for it. Here are thoughts from this morning’s run …

1. It smells like spring. Finally.
2. I love that crispness in the air.
3. My mouth still hurts from that horrible dental appointment yesterday.
4. People in the old days survived with little dental care … why can’t I??
5. Or did they just have really bad teeth?
6. I’m trying to remember if anyone on Little House on the Prairie had bad teeth.
7. I love my Forerunner. I’ve gone 3.44 k so far.
8. I just love knowing that, personally.
9. Melissa Gilbert had fantastic teeth. Makes no sense.
10. How does Mark do this barefoot??
11. I must not forget to sign Troy’s report card when I get home.
12. I must not look at my Forerunner every minute.
13. It’s really not safe.
14. I should name it, I suppose. Something more than “my buddy”.
15. I hope I can eat something besides mushy banana today.

I must have the dentist of the gods because I always fall asleep in his chair. Or maybe it’s just finally sitting down that lulls me to sleep.

The last time my mouth was numb, I made the mistake of drinking something that was too hot, but I couldn’t feel it until it hit the back of my throat. There was a great deal of sputtering and spitting coffee on the person closest to me.

I hope you’re feeling better!

those are fun thoughts. Sometimes I listen to the internal chatter and am quite amused. Mostly, I am surprised at the nothingness in there. Then again, that’s the way my mind is most times. ummm…think I will stop sharing now.

I always have something running through my mind when I run, and it sounds a lot like your stuff.

I always wondered why Melissa Gilbert had buck teeth when she played the Laura-in-braids but in later episodes her teeth were straigher… MG had dental work – just Laura Ingles didn’t!

Mind chatter is often well worth listening to!

cool, i like your running thoughts. today the main thought going through my head while running was: why can’t i eat with the discipline i use to workout with? interesting eh? i think i will use that thought to help me be more strict. i’m so darn weak-willed sometimes with the food. i used to think MG was cute. heehee!

I HAVE to keep looking at the Forerunner. Its a thing. If I could have a popup screen in front of my face that constantly flashed the instantaneous pace, I would do it. Something about seeing that pace makes me feel like I’m doing it correctly.

Silly little things make me happy.
