Awkward and Awesome // Workouts, Exercise, But Mostly Running

________________AWKWARD________________

Long skirts get tangled up around your legs and trip you, 

short skirts tend to fly up when you run, 

denim skirts refuse to behave...

The price of running shoes O.O

When you're sick and can't run and its driving you crazy

Or even worse, when you twist your ankle or something so that you CAN'T run or lift or whatever, but you're still healthy and just have to sit around 

People who walk to abreast on the trails and won't. get. over. to. let. you. through.

When you have your feet stuck under something so you can do situps and your foot slips out and you knee yourself in the face

When you're doing pushups and you underestimate how close the ground is and instead of having your chin up, you're looking down so you knock your forehead into the floor

...

And then the hollow clunk makes you laugh, so you drop onto the ground and your siblings find you lying face first on the floor laughing into the floorboards. 

When someone you don't like can do more pushups then you and you sit there with mixed feelings of rage, annoyance, disgust, and slight respect

(Note, it has to be a fairly impressive amount of pushups to get the respect part since I can do about jack diddly in the push up area)

 People who don't clean of the machine before they leave...Yay. Sweat. My favorite. :(

 People who change the channel on the TV. 

"Hey buddy. Trying to watch Cutthroat kitchen here, not CNN!"

But do we say that? No. Because that would be rude.

When you're having a lovely run and then step in a dip and twist your ankle. Not enough for it to be hurt, just enough to throw you off your run and make it achy

When you try and shower after a work out and your family decided to run laundry and the dishwasher and there. is. no. hot. water.....in December.

New socks

NEW RUNNING SHOES

The burn in your legs after a long run that makes you feel alive

Also the adrenaline rush after you've finished that makes you want to climb the side of the house and dance on the roof (PRO TIP: DON'T)

The pleasant ache of muscles after a good day

Also the feeling when you stretch and you start to feel your tendons burn

When someone says they can do more situps then you so you end up having a contest in the hallway... and some poor boys walk up to see all these girls crowded around counting...

"49..50...51..."

(And for  your information I won...by a lot.)

Sweat. 

I know, I know. 

Its stinky, wet, and just generally disgusting. 

But it means your out there, living life. 

And that makes all the difference
