why the heck did you delete the vid? I can’t be expected to get here in a timely manner and I’d really like to see it. A-hole!

LOVE it! I’m always shocked that it hasn’t been, like, at LEAST 5 minutes since I last looked at the time!

-How is it possible I’ve only burned __ calories so far?
-I hope I’m fooling people into thinking I’m grabbing the bar to check my pulse, not to keep from flying off the back of this thing.
-How accurate is this treadmill? Because I can’t be running that slow.
-Why does my knee hurt? I’ll push through the pain, then congratulate myself on not quitting because I didn’t stretch well enough.
-I really need to remember my iPod next time.
-What would the perfect running playlist be?
-There’s no way it’s only been a minute and a half since I last checked the time.
-One mile’s a good distance, right?
-Right.
-Aaaaaaaand cool down!

Kyle – Very rarely do I focus on deep stuff like that — I find I go extra slow when my mind is using up so much energy … Plus, you know, the whole getting hit by a car thing.

Cat – I think the same things on a treadmill! Other than the Lady Gaga. I’m more of a C+C Music Factory girl, myself. Old school is the new hotness, you know?

OMG Kyle, do you even run outside anymore?

I like to run on the treadmill at the gym (“like” is a strong word, but there it is) so I don’t have to pay attention to cars or dogs or other people. Also, I can set the speed, so I don’t have to decide to run faster, the machine just makes me. Also, I can set intervals to make sure I actually do run more than I walk. So I’m usually thinking,

37 more seconds at this speed
am I running right?
I really need to download some new music tonight!
19 more seconds at this speed
god, my hair is bouncing a lot. that DOES mean I’m running wrong.
Ok, 2.5 minutes at fast, I can do this
hey, this doesn’t hurt as much as it used to
ouch, that’s a muscle I need for breathing, it shouldn’t be cramping right now
maybe i’ll just slow it down for a few seconds
NO! it’s only a minute and 20 seconds more. I can do it
P-p-p-p-p-OKER FACE! Cause I’m mahvelous!

and so on…

That’s funny because those are the sorts of things my friend Emily says she thinks about while she runs.

I, on the other hand, can’t stop contemplating things like oh say…the meaning of life, where I’ll be in 10 years, what kind of mark I’ll leave on the world when I die.

But, you know, don’t do that. That’s how you get hit by a car.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I know completely how you feel. I to have a similar story about my beloved Leo, a golden retreiver mix. Back in August of 2004 my husband worked at a cabinet shop. The owners son had a puppy he was trying to find a home for, he said no one wanted the pup cause they said he seemed to lazy. He was an adorable, fuzzy little cutie. We took him home. A few days later we witnessed him having a seizure, he was only about 8 weeks old. The guy who gave him to us now told us he had a table fall on his head, and it has killed his other sibling. We took Leo to a specialist for an mri. They said he would have to take meds the rest of his life for seizures from head trauma, and they found he already had early stages of kidney failure, all by the time he was 3 months old. They told us Leo probably wouldn’t live to be a year old. We loved Leo like a son, and treated him like a king. Leo turned out to be a very smart little guy that loved us like you could never imagine. He was someone I could never replace. He was beyond being a dog. He was the coolest living being I had ever known my whole life. He was fat, but never grew into a normal dog. He was always very differant. Last year in July, we noticed some blood on his pillow. I was freaking out trying to find what it was from. I thought maybe he had a seizure and bit his lip in his sleep? Two days later he had a horrible nose bleed, and we rushed him to the vet. They kept him over night, and released him the next day. They couldn’t tell us why, but they said they were waitning for results from bloodwork. Later that night Leo began breathing very fast, and looked so sad. I knew something was way wrong, so we rushed him to the vet again. Before our hour long drive was over Leo had passed in the back of the car. My King Leo was gone! Along with him part of my spirit and heart. I will forever miss him. I am still not sure how I am going to live the rest of my life without ever seeeing him again? Two weeks later the vet finally found time to call with his results, and told me Leo had Cooms disease, a form of Lupus. Something they never found from bloodwork on previous visits. She said his lungs most likely filled with blood. Leo was dealt a bad hand in life from the time he was born he had many medical conditions. I know he had the best life he could of with us. I would of loved him and took care of him till the day I died. I know exactly the loss you feel. You are not alone. Here is a pic and video of my sweet Little Leo AKA Sheepy.
