I had Monday off work so one of my best friends and I decided to hit the Maurizio Cattelan’s “ALL” exhibit at the Guggenheim’s. (How convenient, that’s my block!!!). Keep in mind, she’s a runner too.  

If you’ve been to the Guggenheim (or seen the building), you know you go up the sides of the spirals. 

As soon as we walk in, crazy convo #1.

– Would this count as cross training?

– Totally, it’s ALL uphill and because we’re walking so slow up for so long, we’re obviously burning the upcoming cupcake

People coming down are clogging the stairs. That inspired, crazy convo#2. 

– You know what’s wrong with this gym?

– This what?

– This, this… museum!

– HA. ok, what?

She went onto explain where a separate exit was needed… for strides maybe? for warm up?

A bit later, inspired by the art… crazy convo #3.

– You know what’d be OSOM???

– What? 

– If we could do hill work here! It’d be a bit slippery but it’d also be great to do downill practice to increase turnaround!! And it”s inside, which is fabulous on days like today! When there’s no people obviously!!

– There’s always people here!

– No, like, at night. They should have a runner’s night, twice a week. For hillwork.

I could keep listing these forever on an on…

Are we all like that? Do you also see ANYTHING and you can relate it to running?

I think sometimes I repress it a bit during the rest of the day (with the “normal” people) so I don’t look weird, so when my running friends and I get together we need to get it all out… Are we all OCD about your sport too? 

Oh, and there was the exhibit too, Enjoy!
