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.
{Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows}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!!
Eat some cake for me!!
I prefer to live in ignorance about my body.
ReplyDeleteHoooyah!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!
I gotta ask, how long did you have to run before you started to like it and you were able to hold a convo? Because I would really like to be one of those runner girls, but I can't even run to the end of my street without being red in the face, legs feeling like jello and yeah, feeling like I'm going to puke lol
ReplyDeleteyou go girly!!! i miss running!! a few months and i'm hoping i'll be running a few miles every day again.
ReplyDeletefor now, i'm going to eat a giant PB and chocolate rice crispy bar....i'll only be pregnant for another 4 weeks or so ;) gotta take advantage, ha.
This is awesome and sickening all at the same time...lol Keep up the good work girlie!!! Can't wait to hear about your 13 miles...
ReplyDeletexoxoxox
Congrats on your new addiction to endorphins. Now I'll have someone to run with when I'm in Cali! It does take a certain amount of insanity to want to run 13 miles. Welcome to the club, freak!
ReplyDeleteatta girl! good luck and keep it going :) miss you can't believe i've been out of the blogging world for as long as i have. i am pretty sure i'm back though so come visit me every now and then! xxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWelp. I think after reading this, I'LL puke. Gah. Running hurts.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!! How exciting!
You go, Mama! How awesome! We just joinrd the YMCA. I am hoping with my fun new day job to get there 3 - 4 times a week!
ReplyDeleteWe'll both be crazy fit in August! Bring on the funfetti and Red Bull!
You go chicka! I actually hit up the gym 3 times last week which is like a record, it feels so good.
ReplyDeleteFergie ferg say I love you long time!
ReplyDeleteHECK YEAH!! You go girl, running a half was freaking awesome {of course I almost died on miles 10-13, but so worth it!}
ReplyDeleteGood grief you have lost your ever-lovin' mind! But good for you! I wish I was motivated to get up that early to work out. Please keep posting these things so that I can live vicariously through you. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed and I'm really happy that it's making you feel so darn good!
ReplyDeletedude! this is awesome! you are a house on fire! or legs on fire!
ReplyDeleteyears ago i used to run and it felt great. now i am too much of a porker and it hurts my knees to run. but i need to shed some lbs and get back into better shape!
kudos to you for doing this!!!
Been waiting for you to post this! Soooo proud!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! I wish I could be the total fitness guru!
ReplyDeleteBut? I am so buying you a box of twinkies! I would send them to you along with all kinds of adorable HK finds for Ms. P but you have yet to give me your new addy....I swear I won't stalk you! Jeeze! =)
You go, runner girl! If I can do it, I KNOW you can! My half is just over 2 weeks away.....April 16th!
ReplyDeleteI ran 12 miles last week for my long run ...in 80 degrees, with killer hills!!! It was hard, but I didn't die. ;)
You wake up at 530 in the MORNING?! I'd die.
ReplyDeleteI really should work out so I don't scare people in my swimsuit.
you're awesome. i've picked it back up, but i'm no where near 13 miles, you crazy girl! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it, cant wait to see the report!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome, I do not like running until I am running, same with any cardio. You are an inspiriation
ReplyDeleteLook at you upping your Mom Awesome! I stay away for a few weeks and you go gettin' all sexified. I need to run. Or do crunches. Or just stop stuffing my cupcake craving pie hole. Sadly, I just don't think it's going to happen. I'll just live vicariously though you!
ReplyDeleteNot only are you running, youre doing it before 9am?? Seriously girl - you are crazy!
ReplyDeleteI actually wish I liked running. I can do an hour on the elliptical easy, but real life running outside, ha! I can barely make it to the mail box.
What is this fitness stuff of which you speak?
