Gotta clip the lines and move for yourself, just move for yourself, love...

Doesn't James Mercer has a way with words?  
The man's amazing.

But that's not why I'm here.

I'm here today because my dear friend Mallory decided it would be a good idea to dress up like a homeless person this weekend and run 13.2 miles.  She also has come to believe that it would be a good idea for me to do the same (except in a different costume) (it's for a halloween half marathon i guess).

I usually like her good ideas (who wouldn't rather go wig shopping than to class?) but I'm on the fence with this one because my running lately always ends at 3 miles and also because I can't think of a good costume.  But then I think about it more seriously and in the crazy insanity of the idea, it makes perfect sense.  I mean, I've tried training for half marathons in the past and they have never ended at the finish line, so maybe this is the only way I could ever actually do one.  Also, I was once told by a wise and fast marathon runner that the way he trained for marathons was to watch Rocky and grow a beard like Forrest Gump.

 So maybe that's the key to half marathon success...

...and possibly good a good costume idea?
let's explore this idea:

Rocky

Forrest

Hummm....
Both very inspiring.
and I could see myself dressed up as either one of them.
But I've learned a valuable lesson about myself lately and it is that I shouldn't commit to ANYTHING anymore because I never know what I will actually do until I actually do it.
So I guess it's like what Forrest's Momma always told him, 
"Kori's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get."
Maybe I'll attempt and/or finish a half marathon this Saturday 
and maybe I wont. 

 Only the cube knows. 

(ha ha, sorry, inside joke)
