Finish up my run feelin' like P. Diddy

OOOh running. Just like my fav song say you really do build me up, you break me down. My heart, it pounds. Yea, you got me.

Nothing makes me feel better than a quality run. Nothing breaks my heart more than a bad one. And of course my heart pounds, I mean, duh, it's cardio. But enough about my similarities to Ke$ha, let's get down to business.

I gave treadmill running another go yesterday and after 2 painstaking miles I decided it's time to get back on the road. I really did try too. Sarah and I brainstormed a treadmill game to keep me occupied and everything(its kinda evil so don't judge).

TREADMILL BINGO
1. pick out everyone who is there bc it's their new years resolution
2. pick out the one who will break that resolution first
3. find your fav workout outfit of the day
4. find your least favorite
5. find everyone with Syracuse apparel on
6. find the hottest male cardio worker outer
7. find the sweatiest person
8. find the person who isn't even attempting to break a sweat

OK that's enough, I'm sure you get the gist. Fun right? Not when you have a crazy fear of falling off the treadmill and flying across the gym and dying. Forgive me if I don't want my obit to read "Co-blogger Angela, 23, of Boston recently passed after a horrifying treadmill accident that ripped off her face (seriously, when she expired she looked more horrifying that the woman who was attacked by that gorilla). She is survived by her parents who live in sunny Arizona and can run everyday, her brother whose math skills ruined her relationship with her Calc. teacher, and Co-blogger Sarah who will now have to run for fun by herself. In lieu of flowers please send running clothes to Sarah C. Blogger in Pittsburg, PA" So that is my long winded explanation. I was too scared to actually move my head to the side and look for person 1-8 in treadmill bingo. Fail.

But today I took a different approach, in full out snow gear (no, it's not snowing in Boston) I banged out a pretty little 3.5 miles on my way to the gym(I wanted to do 4 but along the way I was compelled to rework my route and totally undercaculated). Regardless, AMAZING. And thanks to my ear warmers, running hat, gloves, wife beater, tshirt, two longsleeves, a running coat, cold weather under armor tights, hardtails, burberry scarf and my reflective vest I wasnt even cold. In fact i held the scarf for the majority of the run (I really need to get a less expensive one to run in - it's just kinda my go to). Anyway I'm including pictures of my crazy outfit as my very special 2010 gift to you all.

check, check, check itt (aww I love when running makes me happy and cracked out!!)
