OK so what have we learned this past holiday season?
Running in the sun makes my brain blissfully numb and happy and there is no need to rant about it in a blog.
I’ve been running in California and the sun was beautiful and yes of course there were rainy days but now I’m back to the freezing unbearable NYC weather that leaves my fingers numb – and not in a blissful way…
What’s the deal?
On one hand I love being the tough NYC runner – on the other hand I love being the relaxed, smooth, run in the sun CA runner… What’s better? Is it possible that if I ran in CA for long enough I would just become a wimpy, weak, annoyingly content and happy runner? What if my brain just became annoyingly happy and weak too? What if I stay in NY and keep running forever in unbearable conditions and always feel tough and ready to face anything but rob myself of the pleasure of just relaxing and enjoying being comfortable? such a dilemma…
I dropped $300 at Paragon in Underarmor gear and definitely felt a difference. I never thought to do this before…
Yesterday I came home and enjoyed a long shower and hung out indoors and loved the cold run – today I fucking HATED IT – I came home and rushed off to work and realized how much rushing the thawing of my fingers sucks… it SUCKS…
Anyway – there’s one thing I have to say that makes me happy. The snow looked really pretty yesterday and the gear I got actually did take the pain down about 4 notches so I did get to enjoy the view. I do love NY and i do love the sun… I’m stuck in my head on what’s better…
Happy fucking 2010…
Running with underarmor feels like running inside a condom; It’s so tight I can’t breath in it. The leggings are perfect though. Did you see they have a Camo-pattern model, who the hell wears these?!
I can’t say I relate to the condom thing but I can imagine it being similar. Wait a second! You run in constant sunny weather! Why on earth would u even LOOK at underarmor??
What, we sometimes get a cold day here and there… Ok, I admit, I’m not tough as an NYC runner. On the other hand, I want to see you run in the summer here, 30 degrees Celsius and 90% humidity (that’s 6AM temps).
The heat can suck… But I’m still tougher than u
