Mixed Emotions

It was one of those Excuse me?  Oh no you didn't! moments. *picture me moving my head back and forth and snapping three times across my chest* 

This week I just needed a change in my workout.  Sorry Jillian, I just can't do your dvds EVERY DAY.  Its overkill.  So, I've been wanting to go running.  Yesterday I pushed it off till it got too hot, so I decided today was going to be the day.  After breakfast, and piano practice, K and I went running.  It was perfect.  Such a good and fun workout (okay, maybe not entirely fun.  How fun can running be? but the accomplishment is worth it).  The "Excuse me?-Oh no you didn't!" *picture me moving my head back and forth and snapping three times across my chest* moment happened twice when people in cars thought it would be cool to whistle at me.  Seriously?  Did you seriously just do that to me?  I have always just been disgusted when I am whistled at.  I feel degraded.  I fill like I have just been turned into this object, just something that men can look at and whistle at and stuff.  It just truly disgusts me.  Did they not see that I was pushing a child in my stroller?  Did they not realize that having a child with me implies that I am married, and therefore taken, and therefore should not be whistled at?  The first and foremost reason I exercise is so I can be healthy, not so other men can look at me and think I am "hot" or whatever.  Its okay if my husband whistles and whatever, but not anyone else.  Just kind of grosses me out.

But, nonetheless, besides those two "Excuse me?-Oh no you didn't!" *picture me moving my head back and forth and snapping three times across my chest* moments, I am so happy that I went running.  Such a sense of accomplishment running 4 miles.  I worked up a good sweat.  I think running will be on the menu again this week.  It was so nice to take a break from Jillian Michaels.

Stay tuned.  I am going to try an new cookie recipe to take to a play date today.  I will let you know how it goes!
