Oooooo... that smell. Can't you smell that smell?

I found this website called MapMyRun.com. You can chart out and plan your route. It tells you the mileage and there's a personal training log where you can keep track of your goals and times etc. There are running forums, route suggestions in your area and information on running events. I am really starting to enjoy it! Good stuff.

Went to my kickboxing class again, FINALLY, after not getting to go for about a week. It was fantastic. This may seem kind of dorky but I really, REALLY get into. Maybe it's because it makes me feel powerful and I don't usually GET to feel powerful. Maybe it's because I have an overwhelming emotional craving to beat the ever-loving S*** out of someone.... I don't know. Maybe it's just because being extremely active physically is healthy in more ways than one.
Looking into the mirrors of the studio and watching myself kick and punch with a "gggrrrrrrr" face on.... I feel like a different person.... a stronger, more majestic and secure individual.

WHATEVER.

There's just something about going through the motions and gaining control over your body and the way it moves, feeling in touch with each and every muscle being utilized and focusing on the extraordinary strength they are capable of projecting that makes me tingle all over. It might sound disgusting to some but I am IN LOVE with the feeling of sweat trickling down the sides of my face and seeping out of each pore of my body; the feeling of flushed skin and burning muscles. It's the same with running too...What IS that??? Am I crazy???
It looks sexy to me. (I am in NO WAY trying to toot my own horn so I hope I don't come across like that...) It feels sexy. Skin all moist and glistening... clothing sticking to a body..... muscles flexing and bulging, fluent and rippling....... There's a scent even. I'm not talking about bad B.O. as a result of poor hygeine or the musty stench of old gym socks. I'm talking about that earthy, natural musky scent of stimulated human flesh... wild and carnal.

*growl*


OOOOOOOO KaaaayEEEEEEEE.......

I think I've gone on long enough. (Sure hope I'm not the ONLY one with these bizzarre and primitive feelings...)
