Mini-Goal: Success!

I have an essay due next Wednesday that I wasn't feeling that enthusiastic about writing, so when I got about half-way done today and didn't have any new loads of laundry to distract me, I decided to go for a run (my favourite kind of procrastination: the kind that makes you feel like you are actually still being productive, and are thus a guilt-free way to avoid work for a bit!).

I look much cuter pre-run than post run.

Mostly I just really enjoy my shoes - they are new as of this summer, and, besides looking absolutely fabulous, are like running on little clouds - such good suppoooooooorrrrrrrt.

Going for a run today also finally gave me a chance to try out this mini-fanny pack type thing I bought from H&M at the beginning of the year, fresh off of making my run-more resolution.

Its just big enough to fit my keys and either my phone or ipod, so is really just perfect because it saves me having to a) tie my keys into my shoelaces and b) hold my ipod the entire time I am running, which were my two previous methods of dealing with those objects while running (oh, for the heady days of Sackville when we never locked our house and I didn't have to figure out what to do with my keys while running).

Butt pic! Side note about the term "fanny pack" - while in Canada I don't think many people use the word 'fanny' for anything outside of the super fashionable accessory, in America some people will use it to refer to butts. However, in the UK, fanny is slang for vagina, and what we would call a fanny pack, they call a 'bum bag' which, quite frankly, is an awful name.

Bum bag.

Just let that sink in.

And back from my run, all gross, sweaty, and splotchy. I ran between 5 and 10 min (I didn't bother to time myself because I knew it was going to be bad) and I definitely could have used another puff of my inhaler, because the cold air left me with that lovely asthmatic cough that makes you sound like you may vomit up a lung.

But I went for a run! Whooo!
