be a runner

“Just do it” I feel like i’ve heard this all my life but it’s just now been like, revealed to me.
I pierced my nose recently and I remember how I was feelin as I sat on the edge of my claw-foot tub, with a stud halfway thru my nostril “It hurts, this isn’t sanitary, why didn’t I just have a pro handle this” And then the final thought, “Just do it.” and I pushed it thru and it was done, and my nose is pierced. I see now, after my bathroom revelation, that this can apply to most things in life.
I ran today. I was arguing with myself all morning, a day spent at the hospital for my little boy’s stomach problems, and I came home and sat down in a chair, weighin the options of nap vs. running.
“Just do it.” The voice came again.
And I did.
I wasn’t awesome, but I didn’t suck either. I’m gonna do it again tomorrow.
Where did this voice come from? It’s not mine. But I sure as hell hope it intends to stay for a long time.

I went for a run with my husband on sunday morning which of course was a huge mistake. He is an athlete, I mean he was state champion in Mountain Biking a few years ago. I barely ran 4/10ths of a mile. It was pathetic. He was really nice about it but I know he thinks i’m worthless. How will I ever be a runner when I have ZERO endurance. I start out, I’m fine, my legs feel good but I can’t control my breathing! Then I freak out in my head like I can’t breathe i can’t breathe i can’t breathe. Then I stop. It’s like 97 degrees here too. Miserable. Really.

It’s a run/walk kindof day today.
Still I feel like I did SOMETHING.
Tommorrow I’m gonna try and run on
the road. Still scary..

I visited www.coolrunning.com and it has this 6weeks to 5k program I’m trying. I just got off the treadmill and I’m feelin great. shaky, yes, Sweaty yes. The twitchy leg thing? YES. I feel great. I’m starting to care less bout the weight loss and more about just getting to run everyday. My next goal is to run on my road for a while. LOL Still feelin great. This is the entry I must read when I don’t feel like runnin. LOL

I believe that monday sets the premise for the whole week. Today, a monday, I ran. I will run for the rest of the week now. I love Mondays.

Well today wasn’t the best.. I didn’t run at all yet. But I did go for a nice 1/2 mile walk on my road. It rained all night and still pretty misty and nice and quiet. I think i did something yesterday to my left leg running cold like I did. Didn’t warm up or cool down. Excuses Excuses,,

It’s a slow start today. On the treadmill I ran 1.59Miles, in 25minutes. I don’t want to run outside til I can go a decent enough distance. Plus it’s gonna be embarrassing to be seen huffing and puffing and the bouncing chub everywhere.. BLECCCCHH> ok maybe i need a new view.. Any help anyone??
