Share on Facebook 2009-01-05: Running like a wintery Batman

Ok, ok, here we go. I'm updating.

You see, I had actually started writing yesterday, but then I got distracted by something. I was like "Ugh, who can be asked?" and just shut'er down. Then I was all pissed off after and like "What? Where the hell is my window!? Where's my window!!?" then I remembered I closed it. Psycho boy. Chill the eff out.

Haha, I just had a totally rad conversation in Google Chat with Duncan, check it out:


Mitch: I'm updating my webstie now.
Duncan: did you go back to, um, freidrichton?
sp?
Mitch: lol.
it's not in fuckin' germany.
Duncan: hahaha
das is not ein chermany!

Freidrichton. That kills me. Genius. Duncan is a genius.

Oh, and I also was all over "webstie". It's kinda like "pigsty" except websty. Please, join my websty. It's a filthy area where crap and stuff collects, and filthy beasts wallow. "Mitch's Websty: Where the Filthy Beasts Wallow". I'm telling you, I should sell t-shirts.

So my big news was that I went running this weekend with Jess, on a blizzardy day in December. We were both bored out of our skulls, and so I was like "Lets' go running." "Really??" "Uhm. Yes. Let's do it." so she commuted over like a champ (actually she got a drive with Lianne and Bob) and then we spent 1 hour shopping at the running room for winter running gear. I think I rifled through every damned rack in the store. Finally I found a sweet pair of tights. Yes. Tights. They are tight. They are tight like Batman's abs. Hell of tight, yo.

Here they are: Nike Laminate Dry-FIT tights. Oh god, picture my huge quads in there, nestled in there like big honey hams nestled their respective fleece ham warmers.

Of course, the sad fact is, my legs look a little more like this:

My running style is better than hers though...

Don't worry though, I've been working out. I just joined a boxing gym today, for $500 per year. 24 hour access, 365 days a year. Hands on coaching for free pretty much any time you want it, steam room, boxing ring, fully equipped gym. It's sweet. I'm going to continue going to Krav twice a week, but will cut out Saturdays, and work out here twice or three times a week instead. Anyway, I'm going to my first "session" on Wednesday, for a little orientation, and will let you know how it goes. For that price, how can you afford not to sign up!?

Then soon, I will have legs like this instead:

My lats are actually bigger than his.

Anyway, after buying all our sweet running gear (I also bought a ninja shirt that is super cool looking, and has thumb holes for to keep my hands warm,) we went running. My little GPS Bat-watch did an admirable job of keeping track of the logistics of it all. Check out our course here:

Mitch and Jess' winter wonderland 12k: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/1692783. Basically, it was amazing, once we got into the woods. The trees were blanketed in snow, the forest was all white, big snowflakes falling, us padding silently through the night, the silence broken only by the occasional sound of Jess swearing, cursing my name. Lovely. Simply lovely. We ended up running a hell of a long way, 12 km in the snow was brutal. Especially since most of the running was in place like on a treadmill, because of the zero traction...

Here's my new boxing club, btw. Awesome. http://www.sugarrays.ca/

K, that's enough about me, let's link some funny shiat:

From Leslie? Everyday Normal Guy

Aries Spears, crazy ass impersonator clip: The Woody show "Aries Spears" rap Live105.com. I don't, you know, love rap, but that was just insane.

I can't get past that. Mitch out.

Your legs aren't as long as hers!



Maybe not... - Mitch, 2009-01-09, 17:35:42

But my hair is nicer.

I miss Jimmy already.

Get ready for boxing dude. Have you ever done it? Like with a coach? I took lessons for 3 weeks and it was crazy!! I almost fainted every single day. BUT don't you just love it when you workout so hard you almost faint. That's gotta be good right? AND all the hot boxing boys are a definit bonus! Let me know how it goes.
