The One About All The Brilliant Ideas

• You know how some people say they do their best thinking sitting on the toilet? Well I do my best thinking while I'm running on the treadmill. Ok so maybe some of the ideas I come up with are the best in hindsight. Like now I'm kind of rethinking getting my mail lady's name tattooed across my back. But ya live and learn. I did think about starting this blog on the... well it actually was on the elliptical trainer but you get the point I'm trying to make. Today while running I thought it'd be a good idea to blog some of the brilliant things I thought about, because usually I forget them if they're not written down. And who wants to do that?!

• I think one of the first signs you need to read more is when you spell "dictionary" wrong. more than once. Ok so I had to look it up. Some days the easiest word seems the hardest to spell!

• I'm working on the C25K program and during the walking time I always sometimes very seldom break out into a mini dance party to whatever awesome song is playing on my ipod. I've decided that I must look really funny. I think if a turkey could dance, he'd probably claim I stole his moves. I thought about doing another vlog (ok don't click that link! I just rewatched it. I'm embarrassed all over again!) one of these days. But because my first one was such an awkward mess...

me+vlog+turkey dance=frightening.

• Speaking of vlogs. I also thought the other day that it would be a great idea if Jon and I bought some really awesome clothes from the thrift store and created our own airband/music video to Marianas Trench "Cross My Heart" because well, that was the song that was playing when I got that great idea. Then I thought for fun I'd post it on here. Yeah ok, so there'd be even more evidence of my innate ability to be really awkward!

• My workout area is downstairs in the basement, with my treadmill facing a window looking outside. When Jon's working the afternoon shift, I workout just about the time the sun starts setting. While I run I get to enjoy the view of the last bits of sun peaking out from behind the clouds and trees. And then that beautiful moment ends. One of the dogs decides to pop a squat outside right in line of my view from the window. It's a huge yard! Why there?!

And that's all I can remember right now. The longer it's been since my run the less I remember. It's kind of like when people come up with really dumb ideas that sound great when they've been drinking. I think it's the same way when I run and think. I blame the runners high, wouldn't you?
