summer tan :)

As an independent trainer (means I don't spend 8+ hours in the same gym) I drive A LOT
I am the whitest person around. The sun is repelled by me
I do not have porcelain skin, I WISH, I am just W H I T E! 
BUT
my left arm is getting a tan!
yay!
BUT that got me thinking about all the odd tan's that are normal in my line of work

SOCCER TAN
     Knees and arms (to mid bicep) and neck
BASEBALL TAN
     Wrist to mid bicep and neck
SWIMMERS TAN
      Girls So many variations~ I love the hole in the back one though
RUNNERS TAN 
     Boys have essentially the same tan as a surfer..... ankle to mid thigh, but then the upper thigh is still sort of tannish from the shorts rising.....
     Girls, well let's just face it, if you are a girl athlete, you just get the messed up tan lines, the funny thing is, you "pretend" to care, but you don't 
You know your weird tan lines are just a way to brag about what you do

It's okay

You SHOULD BRAG about your accomplishments!

So go forth and show off your weird tan lines ladies in your summer sun dress! 
Show off your beautiful shoulders and well sculpted arms, even if they have weird lines from the sun! 
smile big and bright even if you have raccoon eyes from your swim goggles and sun glasses!

Be proud 
You have earned it!

how to get over a goal your failed

Well,
sadly
every single person backed out of the run
except one amazing gal....
that gal is not me

I really was gonna do it
then
I only got 3 hours of sleep in two days and I flat out did not wake up
neither did my son

~~~~~~MOM GUILT~~~~~

so i took him to see Xmen (whatever the subtitle is)
   ADD moment~ Movies (i love movies) used to be the original then 2, 3, 4,5 etc.... then Star Wars did this "prequel" thing and then just to mess with us they number them weirdly so 1 is now 4..... BUT I say all this b/c I don't know which xmen it is.... weather it is #8 or time traveler... I don't know, but it was xmen wolverine goes back in time to save the future using miss kitty's power......

so
I took my big guy to see X Men Time travel version, and i actually fell asleep.... The movie was a good one, I like those types of movies... but I was so tired I fell asleep.

And my run didn't happen

I really do feel bad about that, honestly, but I was freaking exhausted.

I feel like I failed
and
I am over it

So there, that is how you get over being a looser, failure, disjointedness in yourself or whatever you want to say....

you just get over it

I was tired
I didn't do the run
I got 5 whole hours of broken up sleep ( 2 hours here, 2 hours there etc) 
and O the hell well I didn't do a run

Some people look at it like an excuse
and honestly it is, an excuse is why you did not do something. 
and my why is: I was tired.

if there are no excuses, then simply put
I did not do the run and I am okay with that!
Please let me be a trainer/mom/witch-with-a-b here: Do not let this become the habit and the norm. fall down, fail whatever you call it, but get back up. Don't dwell on it, dwelling makes you want to not try, so just be okay with it and get back to work!

Now tomorrow I will get up off my lazy bum and get to work!!!
As should you :)

Ab whore vs. abhor

I hate to run
Is there a stronger word than hate? (Google time)
Despise

Loathe

Scorn

Abhorrence (Google that, I am not really sure it is grammatically accurate, but it looks like a mean hateful word, so let's use it!)

Spurn (sounds like a made up word where two merge into one... like spud and burn had a baby)

Anyway

I abhor running.

 ADD moment #2~ ab whore loves to work his/her abs ;) I crack myself up

Back to the show

I open my mouth and post on SM a cool fun run in the heights.... I have these moments where I think things like this could be fun.... So I tag most of the staff from my other job and then guess what happened.....

2 PEOPLE SAID YES THAT SOUNDS LIKE FUN

So now, as I realize I am going to have to do this run thing. I am like, wait, I loath abhor running. There is absolutely nothing whatsoever that appeals to me about it.

I know people who love the "alone time" (I go to the movies alone and I enjoy it)

I know people who challenge themselves running... looking for the personal best time and all ~~~I don't have any awards or acclimation displayed, I don't have a diploma displayed, any of my numerous certifications displayed; I do physically have them.... somewhere, I just don't display them.... I literally have no pride.... ~~ so given that info, I have no desire to get my personal best running time.

I know people who run as part of a running group ~ I would be last, on purpose... no way can I run myself to death and be in a group while that happens and in any way shape or form find that entertaining..... When I am with a group I have to cut up and make jokes, you can't run and make jokes... you just run and die.

So here I am, dreading this whole "fun run" that I promoted as FUN....

This is not me... I have no idea why she is leaping.....BUT I will be easy to find.... Last and Laughing... 

I think fitness should be FUN, so if I am going to do a fun run, I am going to make sure I bring the FUN!

NO tutu's though, way overplayed.... maybe a cape... maybe that inspire me to move fast enough to have it flap.... or maybe pig tails... they will bounce around and look stupid, making people laugh...

I WILL MAKE IT FUN....

I'll let you know how it goes, (the two that I assume are reading this) and if you are bored this Sat, come on out and enjoy the fun!!!
