top 5

i am procrastinating again. what to do when procrastinating? blog something.

i just got back from hanging out with my nieces and nephew though, they are some cool cats. i helped them climb a tree! i think that was the highlight. "uncle B, uncle B i want to climb the tree again! later: look how high i am! i feel like i'm on top of the world!" heh heh. fun times. oh to be a kid again.

so anyway, i am supposed to be cleaning my apartment right now but i don't want to.

one of the things i have been thinking about while running lately, are the top 5 commercial products that have been the most influential to my running this year. nothing sentimental or mushy, just flat out commercial products 1 - 5. here they are in order of importance, 1 being the most important.

1.
fancy under armour boxer briefs (which unfortunately made me blush when i was in line at the store because it was a hot girl cashier). --keeps everything in place and uhhh, in addition to thinking about baseball, helps to stave off the effects brought on by uhh this is embarrassing but what haven't i said already, hot (practically naked) chicks seen on running paths and stuff. i won't argue with naked chicks running around the lake but dang i don't like being forced to think about baseball for an entire run. heh. (ps this isn't me its just an image from the 'net ok?)

2.
bodyglide

3.
polar HR/foot pod
------------------------------------------------------


4.
chi running (tie with #3). simply put, my shins would be in horrible shape right now if it weren't for this weird chi crap. i will tell you a secret, i haven't even been icing my shins after any of my long runs lately. i suppose i should be, but really i don't even feel the need to ice them. its a miracle!

5. g00gl7 maps / driving directi0ns. helped me figure out how to drive to all of my new, fun and exciting running paths/trails where the naked chicks run.

ok fine i guess i will clean my apartment now.

  • I love your description of #1 and the pic is good too....If I saw a guy running in those two things would happen -
    1) I would be tempted to run faster
    and
    2) His butt shot would be on my blog...lol.

  • Dude, I think I'm going to go climb a tree right now. I mean really, that's a blast. So is playing explorer and goofing around in the dirt and playing chase. I pretend I play with my neice and nephew because I'm a dutiful aunt, but really it's because they're more fun than the adults, and because I can make jokes about farting and boogers and everyone thinks it's funny :)

    Chi running is a miracle! I'm so impressed that just making that one adjustment took care of the shin pain.
