Hey all! I am linking up with Running on Happy and Fairytales and Fitness for Friday 5 2.0!
Today, it's 5 6 Random Things!
2. I need trail shoes. I've been putting off buying new trail shoes but it is time to bite the bullet. I'm running trail more often and I have noticed that my road shoes just aren't cutting it. I used to wear Mizuno Wave Ascends but this was years ago. I wonder if the shoe is even similar to what it was when I last wore them? I think I am going to have to plan a trip to Appalachian Running Company to try some on.
3. Stuck in between generations. Do you feel like you are stuck between generations? I'm too young for Gen X but I don't feel like a Millennial. Help!
4. Check out this dinosaur!. Before Garmins, before phones, before mp3 players, I ran with THIS dinosaur!
It was seriously the coolest thing ever to actually be able to run with my disc man. Want to know what I listened to? The Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat sountrack. Over and over and over again!
If you've never been to the nostalgia subreddit, you gotta check it out! That's where I found this beauty.
5. Sleep. When the lack of sleep only plagued me once every couple months or so, I would sometimes take the day off work. Surely I was in no condition to teach a classroom full of children with only 1-2 hours of sleep, right? Well, now that I have sleepless nights one or two nights a week, I can't just not go about my life the next day or else I'd never be going about my life! I just have to suck it up and do what is on the schedule. Some of you ask me if I am really tired after a night of no sleep. I am a little tired, but mostly I feel "blank", if that makes sense?
6. You know that meme... that says: "I'm going to donate these items to Good Will, but first I'm going to drive around with them in my trunk for three months."? Well, I present to you... my trunk.
NO ONE drives straight to Good Will. NO ONE!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you heard of the term Xennials? Its supposed to be for those of use born in the early 80s stuck between the 2 generations. I definitely don't feel like a millennial but Im too young to be Gen X!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of that term but I forgot about it. That's us!
DeleteHaha, I totally remember that Sony discman! I had that same one. And I would always get frustrated cus mine skipped a lot!
ReplyDeleteMine probably skipped once in awhile, but not as much as you would think!
DeleteI do remember how cool those disc mans were at the time. They are so big looking now! Have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy? I remember wondering how they would make music "smaller" than a CD. Well now it's so small (digital) that you can't even see it!
DeleteI have a hard time remembering names, mostly because for some reason when someone tells me I don't pay attention, weird? its annoying, Ill tell myself to pay attention but my mind is already thinking of something else. LOL. Disc men, cassette players, wall phones with the long cords.......
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't pay attention either. But why don't I?? I think I am distracted. That's the main problem.
DeleteRight there with you. I'm too young for X, and I don't connect with Millennial. A friend feels like the range should be smaller, and dictated by experiences. I remember the first Gulf War and the OJ Simpson trial. These things are now taught as history. Ack!
ReplyDeleteYup, I remember those things as well. I mean, I was a kid but I have a very vivid memory of those things. Even the bronco chase. My family watched it lol.
DeleteHa ha...the Goodwill thing is so true...except my battle is actually getting all the boxed-up stuff to my trunk. It tends to sit (all boxed-up) forever in my mud room. I have to pass by it about 50 times before I actually put it in my car.
ReplyDeleteThe struggle is real!
DeleteMemory - how's your vision? I'm never far away from my reading glasses these days. Makes my iPhone look amazing! :) As far as the memory goes, we took a trip to Home Depot yesterday, and brought the kids along because they were home from school. Bought a couple of bags of stuff and after we got home I realized we never even looked at the item we truly went there for in the first place. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteWell I do have classes for far away things but I never wear them! Omg I'd be so annoyed to go all the way to home depot and then not even get what I originally wanted!
DeleteUgh, not getting good night sleep is awful. I don't know how you function.
ReplyDeleteNO choice!
DeleteA while ago I wrote a post about being confused on which generation I am... Roger used to call me a millennial to annoy me.
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of those exact shoes in my trunk right now! My sister gave them to me a while ago, but I haven't used them.
Really? Character shoes?
DeleteI don't think we are millennials. What is Roger? Is he younger than Gen X too?
