Random self observations

First things first, thank you all for agreeing with me so wholeheartedly about the eye drop weirdo at the movie- I knew it was bizarre!

Second, I have made two recent observations. 

1. I am completely...

Yup. I don't know if it's b/c I was guns blazing to launch that big project at work or that I have an awesome vacation approaching (but not approaching as quickly as I'd like). I don't know. But, I just feel so.. uninspired. I start a magazine, get bored and put it down. Start watching something on tv and same thing. Start cleaning, cooking, etc... You're getting the drift. Crossfit is awesome, but I've lacked motivation to even do that this week...not b/c I'm tired or lazy.. but I'm just kinda "eh" about everything I normally do for some reason. (As an aside, I dragged my arse to Crossfit today and reminded myself why skipping almost a week is NOT a good idea. Ouch).

I'm in a mood where I want to kinda shock my senses with something novel...

I want to go hiking. Or boating.

Or learn a new skill... like how to repel or rock climb or sail.

Just.... SOMETHING. Do you ever get like this?

*sigh* I'm sure I'll snap out of it.

2. Prepare yourselves for my randomness. I have diagnosed myself with exercise induced asthma. Laugh. It's okay, I did. B/c when I heard it in high school (when I was first diagnosed), I totally laughed. I was like "Everyone has exercise induced asthma. Thanks for playin'."

But, no matter how much better shape I get in, I have trouble getting breath in at many points of a hard workout...especially when running. And I don't mean I'm out of breath-that's a given-I mean I can't inhale deeply in any capacity. My legs could keep going but my lungs give me a big middle finger. I thought it was just crappy lung capacity I need to work on, but then a friend said she has EIA, too! I was like "wait, that's real?" And even has meds for it..that HELP. So, I started googling, and immediately called a doc. Tightness in lungs, not being able to take a deep breath even after the workout is over, pain in your lungs after workouts, coughing, wheezing. Whodathunkit? Obviously mine isn't bad enough to stop me, but it's just frustrating I guess. And I think mine's gotten more noticeable due to the intense allergy season right now.

So, whether it's lame or not, I'm having it checked out. Just thank WebMd. Either that or I have a lung disease that is only prevalent in 3rd world countries. <-- Totally being sarcastic. Don't you love it how the interwebs make you a hypochondriac sometimes? Yeah.

Despite my EIA (what the cool kids call it), I signed up for what looks like an awesome run in Tulsa-the Color Run.

It's the first year in T-town (I think) and it's a fun run where participants get sprayed with various paint colors (safe and washable) at different mile markers. It's not about speed (thank gawd) but more about just having a good time. I'm totally jazzed!

So there you have it. I'm an uninspired asthmatic who willingly signed up to get blasted with paint colors in the June heat of T-town. Happy Thursday. :)
