My better is better than your better... Hitting the "Wall"


I just love this song and video! Nike SPARQ video
On Tuesday I decided to go out on a long run into Shevlin Park. I looked outside and saw blue sky and a few small clouds. The forecast said chance of rain and snow latter in the day so I thought I would be okay in shorts and a t-shirt (the t-shirt I was wearing was cotton). So I headed out with my dog for a nice long trail run. About 45 minutes into my run I was checking out the Cascade mountain range, when I noticed a white wall moving in my direction.... snow! I turned around and decided that I better get back home before I get covered in snow. About 10 minutes latter I see this massive downpour of snow coming at me like a wave crashing onto shore. It was the coolest thing ever... till about 1 minute latter when I realized that I'm in shorts and a cotton shirt and the snow wasn't going to stop! I proceeded to head home as fast as my frozen legs could go. Duke kept looking at me like "what the hell is going on!" As I climbed up the last hill (that was now covered in snow) to get to my neighborhood, the Nike SPARQ song came on my iPod. I couldn't help, but laugh! If only I was as tough as the athletes on the commercial.

Hey! So excited for Booty Camp to start up -- I went to Target last weekend and bought 5-pound weights (less than $5 each) and a yoga mat ($16.99) that has a grassy pattern on it. Now that I'm geared up, I'm ready to go!
