Things I Have A Love/Hate Relationship With...

I noticed that when I post a comment on another blog, it seems like a lot of the times it starts off with "I also have a love/hate relationship with..." So I figured I would just do a post about all the things I have a love/hate relationship with. This post has been in the making for a few days to make sure I didn't miss any.

Admit it, you either done or thought about it!

  1. Foam Rollers- I love the way my leg muscles feel after using the foam roller, but I know it is ALWAYS going to hurt.
  2. Waking up early- My morning workouts would be so much better if they were at a different time of day. Once I am up, I am good and I love the peaceful, quiet mornings, I just hate that they start so early.
  3. Dogs- In the yard playing fetch=love, being chased and barked at while running=hate em
  4. Ice Baths- Another aspect I know will make my leggs feel better, but man do I dread sitting in that cold water
  5. Reality TV-Survivor, Amazing Race and Celebrity Apprentice= love Jersey Shore, Springer, Dance Moms and the Kardashians=hate
  6. Soreness- I really do like waking up and feeling the soreness which means I had a good workout, but I hate the way it makes me walk like an old man until I get loosened up.
  7. Stretching- Hate to stretch before a run, love to stretch afterwards ( I know I should do both)
  8. Chiropractors- Love getting cracked, adjusted and stretched, hate having my neck adjusted, think I have seen to many Steven Segall movies to relax enough
  9. Treadmills- Love treadmills for interval workouts, hate them because its a treadmill!
  10. Trainer rides-I love the trainer, it gives me extra time in the day to allow me to ride, but again, its the trainer. I do not go anywhere.
  11. Race photos- I love having photographic images of my races, I hate that the race photographers all suck and can never get a decent shot of me
  12. Resolutionists-Love that hey help keep my gym dues down, but hate that they get in the way!  Yeah I said it, so what??
  13. The Stick- See Foam Roller
  14. Brick workouts- If you are reading this, you know why I love/hate them.
  15. Discussions on the best way to counts laps at the pool- I love that this is a forum favorite topic, I hate that people can;t figure out how to count 1, 2, 3, 6, 4, 8, 9, 7...
  16. SWAG bags- I love packet pickup and getting the swag bags and going through them and I hate how I am always disappointed, just a bag full of other races to do.
  17. Shaving- I love the way it makes my leggs look muscular and chiseled, hate that I shave my leg to begin with.
  18. Race Fees- I love hitting that submit button, know I am officially paid and registered, hate how expensive races are getting.
  19. Taco Bell- Yo quiero Taco Bell on non run days. Yo no quiero Taco Bell on afternoon run days.
  20. Toe nails- I love the "Badge of Honor" of losing a nail and then being classified as a runner, hate the way they turn purple and hang on forever!
So tell me, what have I missed?  What are some things you have a love hate relationship with? I could probably go on and on if I gave it enough thought, but I am sure I missed something!
