Many people spend their running time clearing their minds. Removing the stress of the day by getting out and hitting the pavement.
...I'm not that way.
For some reason when I run, I tend to find something (or somethings) to focus on. Numerous distractions at work and home tend to keep that from happening (good distractions, just wanted to make that clear), which many people can relate to. We are all busy and don't always have time to focus on the things we need to.
Sometimes its a problem at work that needs a solution, sometimes its things that need done at the house. Many times its spent trying to come up with funny stuff for the blog.
Well tonight was like many other nights. I hopped in my Brooks, took off down the road, and let my mind unwind and focus on what was recently stored in my temporal lobe. Well apparently tonight's subject had to do with people. Not just any people mind you, but people in my life who have recently pissed me off. These people are both friends and family. I wont go into great detail, they just happened to be what my mind focused on tonight.
Now I will admit, it doesn't take much for me to be annoyed these days. And turning 40 didn't increase my tolerance (shocker huh?). But sometimes people just dont make sense. I actually had quite a bit more here when I originally wrote the post, but like a government official, I went through and removed any language that the weak-spined media would be offended by. This is the watered down version.
So what's the point? Well apparently I turned that pissed-off-ness into motivation. Good thing that stupid dog didnt come out to chase me...
First 2 miles 19:42, apparently pissed-off gas only gets me 2 miles.
2.55 miles, 25:19
Sorry for the depressing post. Next one will be drop dead, knee-slapping, ROFL, type material. :|
Later
