Started with a run

October 1 2012

Overall I can say I had a pretty good day today. I woke up early and went on a run which is I think the best way to start your day. I ran 3 miles which isn’t much but is enough to get the blood flowing and it carried me the rest of the day. I will gladly take that than coffee any day of the week. That isn’t to say I’m anti-coffee or anything because I’m not but nothing beats that all natural energy boost you get from a good workout. When I got back home and showered I ordered chocolate by post for my girlfriend Polly’s birthday this weekend. I know she will like it as she is a chocolate freak. Seriously. I think she eats chocolate every day. Whenever I go visit her she has one of those fancy boxes of chocolate with the different types of chocolate in it. But she has good self control because she only eats one piece every day. Like a little box with 6 or 8 pieces in it will last her for at least a week.

I was reading something a few weeks ago about how some people are actually addicted to chocolate. Like how some people are addicted to coffee or cigarettes or whatever, these people were addicted to chocolate. It sounded so strange to me, but I suppose you can get addicted to anything, right?

I've also heard that dark chocolate is especially good for you. Not that you'd want to eat 10 pieces a day, but supposedly it has antioxidants in it that are healthy. And it's delicious. I personally prefer dark chocolate over the other types. I went through a period where every time I would go to a store and saw a new type of chocolate, I would buy some to try it. Let me clarify that I am talking about like fancy chocolatier chocolate, not like Hershey bars and stuff. I've sort of become a chocolate elitist, but I won't bore you in this post with my rants about which kinds are good and which kinds aren't.

I can't believe I've spent almost an entire blog post just talking about this. But, I should probably get started on the rest of the stuff I have to do today. I also did a bunch of other stuff but I want to wrap this up so I can go get something to eat so that is all for now.
