Okay - all that typing this morning made me actually THINK about HOW I was going to accomplish a goal of running again. Sent an e-mail around to a few friends that I know are runners... 3 people on board - now I'm committed, or need to be committed?! I signed up last week for a daily e-mail on running training - so far I have received 4 e-mails and am no closer to actually lacing up the shoes... but today is the day!
Got rid of the family - Downloaded a few more songs for the ol' ipod - Tied up the shoes.. and actually got on the treadmill! 10 minute walk/10 minutes walk run (run 1 walk 1)/10 minute walk... done! It felt great! But Sunday afternoons are a different world all together than tomorrow at 5:30am! Evening just DON'T work for me, by the time dinner is done/lunches are made it time to take Bradin to karate or baths etc. Once the kids are in bed I am at the end of my day... so it has to be mornings. Always "fun" for the first few minutes... kinda goes like this -
*alarm goes off
*sluff out of bed into running outfit (always with a sports bra - ouch)
*find shoes
*replace shoes on proper feet
*stumble through living room to office
*trip over something - swear at said object
*turn on light in office - swear at said light (sensing a pattern?)
*once on treadmill begin stumbling over my own feet for the first 1/4 of the routine - I am not very graceful at that time of the morning!
*finish workout 25 minutes later and feel great about it!
So tomorow is another day..... we'll see!
