Could it be true????

Peace y’all. I’m still here and I’m still running. It really doesn’t seem important enough to blog about anymore. I have been consistently running for 3+ months now so the newness of it is gone. I still love it… or I love it when I’m done. My general routine is about 7+ mile on the weekend and 4 miles during the week. I do a long run (4+ miles) on either Friday or Sunday and 3 miles the other day. On Mondays and Wednesdays I run 2 miles. And on Saturday, I run lightly with a friend who is trying to get up to 5k status for company and encouragement. I kind of cross train with 1 hour yoga, 1 day. I have a mountain bike. I’m thinking of getting on that. Maybe… maybe not. I have decided to table my 5K plans for now. I’m just not ready. I’m not really running at the speed I want to finish a 5K with. I don’t mind being one of the last people to cross the finish line; I just don’t want to be dead last. That honor has to go to someone, and I want that someone to be somebody else. I haven’t lost any weight. But all my clothes are loose. Bitch assed scale….. I noticed that some days I am super energized and my runs are amazing; other days they are shit. It is like everything in life. Hills are still kicking my ass, but I keep hitting them. The one thing I do need to do is vary my routes some. I’m really bored with what I have been seeing. It’s good for timing my runs and it’s good that it’s in my neighborhood, but part of the fun is seeing new sites and I’m not seeing anything new. I need some more running friends. Any running friends. But either I will have to drop to their level or rise to it. I won’t run in the rain. At my age the weather seeps into my bones and ache me. I’m not going put me in it. Atlanta tends to have very aggressive rain. It’s not like soft lite drifty rain. Its sheets and pellets. And fuck you if you think I’m soft. I don’t care. I’m over the clothes. I’m over the soreness. I'm over the time. i'm over whether to eat. I’m over most everything. I think I’m a runner? Peace

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to
