Capricious Koi

In an effort to try to get those last stubborn ten pounds off I have started to run. Now running is not one of my favorite things...in fact I have always said it was against my religion..Now I love to walk and I can do that all day but running.....not so much. Since my weight loss (100 pounds) running had become easier but not very enjoyable...until very recently. I guess when you figure out you can actually do something, not look a total geek and not keel over dead, it becomes less offensive. So I run..not great distances but I have gotten two miles in without having a coronary.
Easter Sunday Chuck and I went up to the track to exercise. I walked and ran...he walked. It was warm and I tucked my shirt up under my bra to cool off my midriff. Now I always forget I have a large tattoo on my lower back..it is orchids bookended by two large, colorful koi fish. Right after I got these fish I was belly dancing and my daughter noticed that the fish "swim". Very funny!! Apparently when I run they "swim" too. As I passed my husband on my run he would giggle and mention my swimming fish. I had no knowledge of this as I was engrossed in my iPod. It must have been very entertaining for all of the soccer players and such to watch my talent fish do there thing while was so engaged in trying not to die right there on the track...
So maybe the fish will get smaller as I do...hey they are working out too...
