I almost don't want to listen to the State of the Union Address ......

 I already know there is going to be a military down sizing, so i hope we get some details on how we will help integrate those service members who have served honorably into our economy with jobs and health benefits. Yes it looks like the economy is getting better what specifically will we do to ensure continued success. Don't even think about talking gun control it you plan to restrict my 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. Oh BTW  there is no grandfather clause on assault type rifles. if one citizen can own them before then another should be able to get something comparable now. if you want reform tell me how you will structure baseline standards across all states  so i don't have to have jump through hops every time i drive down the east coast esp. in DC. How will we u insure the mentally unstable don't have access? With all the things going on in the world what is our position as a nation on hostile nations states, and groups. What if any repercussions should be levied against a congress that can't balance the budget. Why are our service members committing suicide at alarming rates.

I hate running

I really dislike running, pretty much to the point where i hate it, but i still get out there and run because i know its something i am not even remotely good at and i would like say that i at least put forth a serious effort. Not to forget about the all the health benefits that you gain, like a stronger heart, hopefully less fat storage,  cardiovascular  fitness, reduction of high blood pressure and lower cholesterol just some that jump to the top of the grey matter.
i hope that one day i will have a respectful pace and not look so awkward, i keep extending offers to people to come run with me but i hope that no ever excepts my offer. I really hate people that can run better than me. pretty much if you are slower than me you are walking so go figure. maybe i should try yoga. i hear about people that get in there zone and can work out issues and stuff kinda of like a meditative thing while running not me i concentrate on not tripping, stopping gasping for air or passing out pretty much keeps my mind occupied. i had one avid person tell me to run faster on my return leg i have been pretty much following that advice but only because i pick runs that start off with some type of uphill slope. people always expect me to somehow excel at running because i have long legs really well that is a negative ghost rider.   my legs hurt. my breathing is erratic and my heart rate is always red lined,  i had to stop wearing a heart monitor because it keep warning me that i was in the red zone every time i ran pretty much from beginning to end
