I'm not sure what it is about seeing a bathing suit hanging on the racks of Target that makes me want to go run 10 miles....but IT DOES!
And that's exactly what I've been doing lately! It seems that somewhere in the last 2 months I lost the remaining shred of sanity that I had, and I decided to take up running. You read that right...I DECIDED and no one was even holding a gun to my head. Crazy. I know.
And just to make sure I stuck with it...I signed up to run a 1/2 marathon with a few of my favorite girlfriends. 13 effing miles!! It sounded like a good idea at the time...like I said....sanity...out the motherlovin' window.
My body hurts, my ankle is killing me, I'm constantly tired, and I LOVE IT! Don't get me wrong though...it took me a while to love it. The first run I did I thought I was going to puke, pass out, have a heart attack or D-all of the above. By the time I got home I was so delirious that Jordan had to wave funfetti cake under my nose just to snap me back to reality.
But dude, I'm a MACHINE now! Ok, well not really a machine...but I can run and hold a conversation at the same time. TOOT TOOT! I've even been waking up at 5:30 every morning and going to the gym. That was tough for me, being the insomniac that I am, but now I can't imagine NOT going! Ughhh....I sound so....healthy. Feel free to gag and shove a twinkie down my throat.
BUT, I have to say, I love seeing changes...it feels flippin awesome. We should celebrate and eat some cake! Rice cake that is. We'll save the real cake for April 30th, after I make those 13 miles my biznatchel!! Until then....
HAPPY MONDAY LONG LOST AMIGOS!!
Eat some cake for me!!
