But it's going to sound like I am.
Well maybe I am, since I am a runner and I think we're all slightly crazy. We'd have to be, to some of the things we do.
But back to what I wanted to write about. My favorite songs to run to have an inspirational quality to their lyrics. Often times they may be about a bad break up. And when I'm running, I sing along, and direct those lyrics to myself. To my fat girl self. She's like a bad ex that keeps coming back, asking to be forgiven, and like an idiot, I "take her back" and then give in to the bad eating habits, the bad living habits really. I listen to her when she tells me its ok to skip a run, to stay in bed, to eat that half of a cheese cake (which I did last night), and all those other bad things. I gain weight, and just feel miserable again.
So when I'm running, I sing those songs to her. Like this one. In hopes of finding the strength to kick her out for good, and not take her back. I will one of these days.
