my run

I've been telling myself everyday since 2 months ago that WILL wake up at 5:40 am and do some sort of exercise. I prefer running just because it's the easiest thing to do, but I didn't set my goal that high. All I wanted was to be out of bed and sweat just a little bit. I did just that for about 2 weeks. Then I got sick and had to stop. Then my ingrown toenail was practically unbearable. Then I was going to bed too late which means I wasn't going to wake up in the morning. Then....I don't know, OH! Then, I didn't like my running shoes because I have sneaky suspicion that they like Horace and his little son and wants them to come back. So, you see it hasn't really worked out for me this whole running thing. However, the other day while I was an interview for a lab I decided that if they take me on as a volunteer then I'll DE_DE_DEFINITELY wake up at 5:40 and go running. No excuses. Damn Horace and his offspring. Damn the the sore throat and cough I feel coming on. Damn how late I go to bed. Well, I didn't yesterday, but I did today. YAY!! Because I got the volunteer position at the lab. They don't take volunteers and I practically had to beg. It was almost pathetic how I was unashamedly selling myself and amplifying my "talents". So, since I got the "job", I'm going to stick to my word.
My alarm went of this morning at 5:40 in the morning. I stayed in bed debating whether I should go. I kept telling my body to wake, but do you know how hard it is to waken a 140 lbs sleeping body? My mind was  DEFINITELY awake, but my eyelids just didn't want to budge open. And every time I would pry them open with the powers of my mind, they would snap shut like a crocodile snapping it's mouth on an oblivious bird. Too graphic? Ok, how about, they would snap shut like a mouse trap catching a mouse. Still too graphic? Oh well, feeling a little morbid today.
Anyways, in the end I managed to get my arse up. I did so yoga for stretching purposes and then went to...walk. I ended up just walking My Grande Caramel Macchiato. BUT!!!! I did at least walk on tippy-toes, so technically I did do some kind of exercise. ;)
While out and about so early in the morning as the sun was rising I decided to be like Penny from Picture Imperfect (woo ho, I did the link thingy!). I whipped out my handy dandy CAMERA PHONE! I think some of the pictures are pretty amazing, but unless Penny says so then they're crap. No pressure, Penny.Oh, I put this first picture only because the moment Macchi saw he freaked and started running away from it.

So, I've established I have two fetishes when it comes to taking pictues. I love love LOVE white washed anything. And I love sun rising water settings. I tried do a Penny and making small things look big, but I don't think it worked. 

Have a Scrumptiously Super Saturday!
