1-11-12: Tonight I thought I wasn't going to get to run, but then it turned out that I could. I had already had a small glass of red wine with dinner, but I couldn't even feel the wine, so I thought it would be okay to go ahead and get my run over with. More on that later. Before I could go to the gym I had to take Noah to Target to buy something with his bday money. Right in the front of the store I ran into Molly, the mom of four inspiration for running, and she gave me a high five for starting!!! It was just the encouragement I needed to press on that night. God knew I would think about that high five later on the treadmill and keep going.
And now for my first rule of running:
Never go for a run after drinking any amount of alcohol.
I felt like my legs were full of lead. Ugh. Never again. (1.19 miles)
1-14-12: Getting into a routine at the Y. Don't feel so new. Am surprised I haven't peed on myself while jogging yet. Spend the entire 20 minutes wondering if the person on the treadmill in front of me is a man or a woman. (1.12)
Well? Was it a man or a woman? But, seriously, you are inspiring me, Trish. I'm so proud of you.
ReplyDeleteWe may never know, Anna. I thought at first that it was a very effeminate gay man with a pixie cut. But then I changed my mind and thought it was a young woman with no hips or butt and broad shoulders. I still get confused when I think about it.
DeleteOnce again, I got tears in my eyes reading your post. I learned the hard way on the alcohol thing, too. I used to love Mike's Hard Lemonade, but after two awful runs with it in my system, I gave it up. I save it for the days I rest.:)
ReplyDeleteJust one more reason to look forward to those rest days! :)
