Thoughts...

Thoughts on politics:
Does it bother anyone else that the whole Democratic nominee may be decided by an un-democratic process???!!! Superdelegates...if they make the final decision...I won't be too pleased. It will make me more annoyed than the whole electoral college issue. What country do we live in again?

Thoughts on running:
I think i'm just getting slower. BUT that being said, I am loving this turn in weather from what people call cold and yucky (I just call it a 'change in weather') back to 'normal' San Diego weather 68 and sunny...bring it. And I'm loving the fact that we are fast approaching day light savings. Happy girl.

Thoughts on biking:
Need more of it. Need to figure out where to bike too...this whole urban living thing is not sitting with me as well as I thought it would. Not pleased about traffic and I keep reading stuff about bikers getting hit.

Thoughts on swimming:
Um...this is the weekend I join the whole masters deal. OHHHHH and I found a cheaper way to do it. Go me. Only down side is that by being a cheapskate it means I have to get up at something like 430 in the morning. My bed and my wallet are starting to have a fight as I type this.

Thoughts on Crossfit:
This is a response for triguyjt's question of 'how tough is it?? on my last post and anyone else who ponders about crossfit...the great thing about it is that you can dial it in to what you can do at that moment in life. Like yesterday part of the work out was climbing a rope 3x-2x-1x. I can't even hang on the rope properly at the moment much less climb the silly thing, so I did a modification so that I could gain strength that would help me climb the rope...one.day. And no one makes you feel stupid because you can't do something, they still cheer you on no matter what. That being said... it can rock your world like not other, make your arms shake and sometimes make you want to puke.

Keep in mind...I.HATE.WEIGHTS...yet i'm having fun and I look forward to classes. Also i'm starting to see my deltoids (I think those are the coolest muscles), more general definition in my arms, and strength gains in my legs (and I've only been going for 5ish weeks). A couple of weeks ago when I went to my nutritionist I had only been going to crossfit for a few weeks but when we checked my lean body mass I'd gained a 1.5lb of muscle. So that's pretty cool. I find it fun even though it can be a killer workout.

The way the workouts are structured you never know what it might be, which switches it up and makes it fun. I'd say that generally the Workout of the Day will take people anywhere between 3 minutes and 30minutes, it just depends on what kind of evil someone has thought up for that day.

Thoughts on life:
I hate it when I end up back in the same dilemma that I have been faced with at other points in my life, over and over again. Just when I thought I'd learned my lesson in the past..it comes back and bites me. I sometimes just hate it when I'm right.

Thoughts on fun:
I'm super excited...I have a fun weekend get away coming up in a few weeks with friends from grad school up in wine country. A fun filled weekend filled with wine tasting and spa treatments. Woohoo!!

I have many more thoughts, but that's it for now.
