Runnin' and Runnin' and Runnin'...Let's Get is Started Yeah!

I've been in a running slump.  I only ran three days last week and one of them I didn't actually run the full 5k I wanted. I guess I'm getting bored with running.  I need some tips.  I can't go out into the neighborhood and run because I run after Eva goes to bed and two nights a week Josh is at school and it's a big no-no to let the family pug babysit the The Golden Child.

The Reverend is completely irresponsible. 

Also, I don't like running in the neighborhood.  I'm super paranoid about being kidnapped. I like to tune everything out and just run.  I can't do that when I'm out by myself.  You always have to be aware of your surroundings, kids.  Safety first.

So, anyway, I run on the treadmill every night after Eva goes to bed.  I started out watching random comedies, then started watching The League, then logged on to Squish's spotify account and made me a super rad playlist and then when that got boring I went back to Netflix.

All that to say, Monday and Tuesday I watched Safety Not Guaranteed and made it through two 5ks!

When an unusual classified ad inspires three cynical Seattle magazine employees to look for the story behind it, they discover a mysterious eccentric named Kenneth, a likable but paranoid supermarket clerk, who believes he¹s solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart again soon.

Together, they embark on a hilarious, smart, and unexpectedly heartfelt journey that reveals how far believing can take you.

It was such a good movie you guys.  It’s one of those indie love stories like Eternal Sunshine, (500) Days of Summer, Garden State and (my personal fave) Wristcutters.  So if you like those, you’ll like this one, too.  I have to tell you, I cheered at the end and not just because I ran a 42 minute 5k (which I swear to Pete, if you snickered at that we are no longer friends!) 

I keep typing things about the movie, but everything I type spoils it.  You should just trust me and watch it.  Especially if you think Mark Duplass can pull off a mullet and acid wash jeans and you need a little extra dose of Nick Miller because yes, Jake Johnson is in this, too.

That’s all I got for today.  I have a surprise for you tomorrow (hopefully).  I’m pretty excited about it.  I feel sorta dorky, but hell, I did it anyway.
