So, maybe I'll be better tomorrow.

I tried to be productive today and perform two activities: push-ups and walking/running. Neither were very successful, but I don't think I was expecting much more than occurred.

First of all, I called Leslie to try and figure out the whole 100 push-ups plan, because I am slightly mentally-challenged and couldn't figure it out for myself. I did the test to see which level I should be in, and I struggled to get out 5 regular push-ups like Leslie. I may have to be a girl and do the knee push-ups. I haven't decided yet.

Also, I decided to go for a walk incorporated with bursts of energetic running, but wouldn't you know that 1 minute after I got out the door it started pouring down rain on me. Seriously. And my glasses don't have wipers so that was rather unfortunate. Anyway, I started out feeling like a rockstar. "I'm running (also known as slowly jogging to me) in the rain," I said to myself. "I'm so hardcore, and I'm going to get back home and blog about the hardcore qualities that I possess!" But sadly, after approximately 4.5 minutes of (mostly) jogging, I felt like my lungs were going to explode and that my throat was bleeding. It was all rather sad, and the story came to a climax when I felt dizzy about 5 blocks into my journey when I had to collapse under a tree to gather myself for the slow trek home. I felt very pathetic and wet after this, so I took a nap for two hours.

I wish I was a running goddess like my friend Leslie and that she lived next door to me somewhere in Europe and today's rainy adventure looked more like this.



Someday, eh?

Also, painting pottery rocks! You will be so stoked to see what we created this weekend! Why oh why can't craftiness and baking be considered cardio activity? I would kick so much butt with that.
