Superbowl everyday
It’s 3:06am, so please bear with me while i write. I went for a run today. Until today, my ass didn’t even own a pair of running shoes that I could use. I’ve been pining for them for a while now, just because I know that there are certain things I need to do, and getting in better shape is definitely one of them. So I went to DSW and purchased a pair of New Balance running shoes. I was told to go for comfort, and after that I just wanted something lightweight.
I ended up running 3 and a half miles, which is probably the longest i’ve done ever, let alone after a year since my last jog. What was most curious, though, was that I really enjoyed it. I liked seeing other people on treadmills have to take a break, i liked feeling the burn in my legs when I stopped running. It’s the first time I’ve ever enjoyed running, and I didn’t really want to stop, but I did the last half mile much faster, and felt like my legs were becoming jello.
While running, a few commercials came on the TV. One was the kid fro Geico insurance who talks about putting Rusty Wallace, his cousin, into a wall. NASCAR commercials have so much potential for humor, and I’m glad a few of them deliver. I also saw a new Old Spice commercial, starring Neal Patrick Harris. These commercials, God bless then. It’s like the superbowl everyday for Old Spice. Using lines like “As a former pretend Doctor” and starring a man who slides from second base to home, you can rarely go wrong. I plan on keeping my business with Old Spice sheerly out of appreciation.
I got to go to Portillo’s today, as well as steal a bunch of golf balls for a driving range (they were closed, and the managers of the palce seemed cool with it, don’t worry). Golf is a funny little game. It’s so easy in principle, but it’s so complicated at the same time. Regardless, Kevin and I did well today, and we plan on going again and again, so that we can get better, and maybe one day actually go to a Golf course.
