First I thought it would be impossible to get myself out there. But having chowed down on delicious french toast this morning &#8211; smothered in butter, nutella and peanut butter &#8211; it was more than a convincing reason to workout.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Just when I thought the reason to run was good enough, \u00a0my momentum toned way down when I couldn&#8217;t get the ipod shuffle working. So I altered my initial plan and just stuck to a simple and short run. Something always better than nothing.<\/p>\n<p>While I was cruising around the neighborhood block, my mind begin racing with different thoughts. I recalled reading a recent article on gender inequality.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s more literature such as &#8220;<em>men are from mars, women are from venus<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>why men don&#8217;t listen and women can&#8217;t read maps<\/em>&#8221; out there, questioning and provoking stereotypical nuances in our society.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t people read\u00a0normal\u00a0books anymore?<\/p>\n<p>What bothers me the most is when women are stereotyped even for not being able to read maps.\u00a0I literally hate learning maps. Not that I don&#8217;t know how to decipher it. I choose not to have any interest in spending my time sopping over bunch of maps. That&#8217;s what the Husband is good at. I mean, why to mess a perfect opportunity or a chance for the Husband to gloat?<\/p>\n<p>Garnered men and women are different in so many ways. And those differences exist to balance out in the\u00a0relationship.\u00a0I don&#8217;t name-call the Husband if he isn&#8217;t good at cooking. We are not supposed to be good at everything. It&#8217;s best to think it this way &#8211; I think we complement each other very well with the skills that we excel, individually.<\/p>\n<p>All these thoughts surely kicks up the adrenaline and energy. I think I should stick to <em>running thoughts<\/em> similar to this one just so I could squeeze in a great workout.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What are you thinking lately?
