Run to Eat

I'm starting to run again.  Starting tonight, that is.  My girlfriend, who lives down the street, suggested we wait till evening so we could run longer.  ha.  I, on the other hand, prefer to get things like exercise out of the way so it doesn't hang over me all day, taunting me and playing tricks on my mind.
Nevertheless, exercise isn't half as painful if someone's there with you, keeping you company and distracting you from the uncomfortableness of it all.

I don't really hate to run.  I hate getting back in shape.  And out of shape I have fallen.
But.

If I run, I can justify this.

Thank you, Pioneer Woman, for sticky pecan mini buns. .
