This morning after hitting the snooze button 6 times, Billy really loves it when I do that; I finally peeled myself up out of bed. I turned on Modern Family and started running on my treadmill. Besides thinking about how the tag on my shorts was tearing the skin off of my back (PS for my first marathon training, I thought that the chaffing mark on my lower back from my shorts was skin cancer and it freaked me out. I didn’t know what chaffing was and it didn’t hurt until I was in the shower) I didn’t think about a thing besides how hilarious Phil is.
8 miles later and I had approximately 7 minutes to get ready for school, I am looking mighty fine today, don’t be jealous.

I would use the sunglasses for running and biking in the summer, and maybe for running in the winter if I happen to be fortunate enough to run in the daylight during the winter. (Doesn’t happen often as I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. Gotta love living in the frozen north!)

Now for my extra entry comment, if I had a pair of cool Nike sunglasses, I would be showing them off as I run the streets of Chicago in this unheard of beautiful, 50 degree weather in January. I was actually running outside in a sports bra the other day. True story:

I would wear the glasses while running away from the zombie apocalypse – because remember, rule # 1 is cardio – if I can run faster than the next guy, I can stay alive! To do that, however, I need to be able to see clearly.
