In-Flux... er... Capacity

I am stealth, but not obsessively so.

In this venture to displace the muffin from its belly-wide domination, I am open to all techniques. 

That being said, I think I did admit I am prone to some extroverted exercise.  At times.

So let me tell you about my new digs.

I don’t have my studio set up yet.  My treadmill did have some damage in the move.  It needs a total rework in the space saver prop area.  Right now it is totally NOT saving space, just wasting it, as I can’t even use the thing.  It’s stuck in the up position.  Yes, it’s stuck up.  You would be too if you were as cool as my treadmill….

So I have ventured outside, despite the fact that rain is pretty much a thrice-a-day occurrence (and it's COLD! This is a huge deal for me.  I do not do cold).  And we happen to live near a well-trafficked road. 

This road is an 8.5 on the Extrovert scale.  In other words, if you get your energy from exercising around people, you are only 1.5 points away from perfection.  Why 1.5 points off from 10?  Well, this is not Los Angeles highway, where millions of people are stuck going 5 mph at all times of the day, and it’s not a college campus, where there is constant milling.  Those were the two detractors, and I think those two situations put any running route as a perfect extrovert's 10.  Here, the speed limit is pretty much the rate at which people drive on the road, if not faster.  So the speed is not slow enough to get a glance at the runner’s face.  However, there is enough traffic that a well-self-possessed extrovert could imagine that as people pass by, they are saying, “Man, she’s fast!”  It happens.

But hold tight: I am now going to RATE this route BASED on its STEALTH CAPACITY (don’t tell me, based on my terminology, that I watched too much Back to the Future and/or Star Wars: I am a child of the 80s and there is no such thing). 

The stealth CAPACITY of my most recent new running route IS a 10.

Holy smokes, girl!  A ten!?  Yes, a ten.

It’s not just my kickin shades that hide my eyes and cheekbones and make me look like a partner-less, informally dressed federal agent, which I could be but I would never tell you.   This route is a ten because I’m a new girl and I don’t know a soul here yet.  It’s awesome.  It’s just capacity, because if I continued down this trajectory of not knowing anyone, it could be maintained.  But like any capacity, there is room to make it, and room to let it go.  I'd prefer to let it go :)

Anyway, stealth.  Awesome run.  It’s not a rating of 10, mind you, because once I meet people, they’re going to be like, “Oh, it’s Wendy again, thinking she’s fast, trying to burn her muffin off,” and then it’s off to find another route for me.

Or maybe, I’ll fool all the psychologists, and continue to toe the line between “E” and “I” and just be stealthfully extroverted when I run this route. 

I know, I know.  You have to go on a run to figure out what I just said.  Go for it!
