total for the week: 28mi

I have to admit, this past week's runs have been kinda boring. And difficult to push though. I feel like I've helped folks get out of their house and run when they didn't feel like running... which is cool... but. Meh. Eh. I think I've been carrying too much weight on my shoulders. I'm feeling sluggish. I need some kind of rewarding run to get me going again.

Good life metaphor.

Thing's have been boring. I need something to light a fire under me. Or in me. Or something.

C'mon, new life. START ALREADY!

All That (and a Bag of Chips)

I need a handbook of American metaphors, clichés, sayings, and euphemisms. My imagination "goes wild" with confusion when someone is speaking to me and they say something like:

"...we need to tighten our belts!"
"...we need to go out before the camels!"
"...how do you like them apples?"
or "Do I look like a turnip that just fell off of the turnip truck?"

LOL.

Metaphors are supposed to help "drive a point home", but many times, you end up losing me completely, speaker.
