Random Longass Babble
Well it was touch and go this morning whether i would get up and workout or not. Six hours sleep... uggghhhh... i would have sooooo liked to go back to bed but i got on the scale and thought about what my day would be like if i didn't workout and went and did it anyway.
I've gotta change my bedtime... 6hrs as always just isn't cutting it. Now i remember why i was always fighting the urge to sleep by 9am everyday before school got out for the summer. Sucking back my extralarge timmy's coffee as i speak.
Speaking of sucking I gotta change my water bottle too... this powerade bottle isn't cutting it either. There is a big diff between the gatorade bottles and the powerade bottles... well it's actually the lids that can be a problem for me.
Btw i don't drink that sh*t... i just use the bottles for water after my family drinks it... that way you can leave 'em or lose 'em and it doesn't matter... and when you take one everywhere you forget quite a few.
I'm one of those people that doesn't believe i need to slam back a half litre of sugar just cause i ran around the block... now if you're running marathons etc that's a whole different thing but no one in my family is in danger of doing that any time soon.
Ummm gee where was i... powerade bottles... yes... well with gatorade you can squeeze those things and stretch your lips around the big, inch in diameter top and the liquid comes out... easy. Powerade is a whole different thing... do you know how hard you gotta suck on those things to get anything to come out?? They're about a centimeter in diameter... so you got your lips wrapped around this skinny little thing sucking like crazy only when half your mouth is paralyzed you can't get a seal on anything that small... g*d where the hell am i going with this......ummm... bottom line???... i can only suck the big ones.
Well glad i'm done with that subject... now you know some of what i think about when i workout. Back to working out... my favorite subject when i'm actually doing it... i needed every second of the ravie/trancie superfast, loud music i was listening to this morning to get through it. On the treadmill i always do like sets... they're each about 5min long going from moderate intensity to mindblowing, heartattack material intensity in the last minute sometimes last two minutes. That's when i needed my song... dunno what it's called.
What's that ride called where you go round and round backwards over bumps... it doesn't do much but it goes superfast and they always play that mindblowing, wordless, screeching music that sounds like the flippin swat team is gonna show up any second and all you can do is hold on while your head and body is so overloaded you give up trying to move or think. Well anyway that is the type of music i need to get through this workout lately. One thing i do know... i don't have any heart problems.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
