Just like Forrest Gump.

You see what had happened was... (that's for you, Brandi)
Well, I was deliberately not saying anything about the new "hobby" in my life because then I knew I'd be committed...but since Chloe busted me, I guess I will... ;)
Somehow the other night my mom went from arguing with me, telling me that running plans were stupid, to saying, "fine then, we start tomorrow."
I keep reading about Couch to 5k, so that's what we're doing. Today was day 2. And so far...I actually am liking it. What? Did I just say that??? Granted, it hasn't made me feel like I'm dying or anything yet. I may take this all back in a few days.
But I don't want to take it back...I want to like it. So...I spent some money on it. [That's what really makes me stick to something.]
$2.99
C25k app
P.S. This is great. Has the whole plan programmed into it so you just click which day you're on, it tells you when to walk & run & you can listen to your music at the same time.
$2.97
iPod armband case
$0.02 on Amazon :)
$24.61
Nike+
When I realized I already had Nike+ shoes, I clearly needed this. Thank you, Apple store. Very excited for this to come!
Grand total: $30.57.
Think $30.97 can convince me to run?

So there...I said it. I'm attempting (key word) to run. Chloe's talked me into a virtual race & I may just need to go ahead & register for the Christmas 5k that we have every year in Madison.
Here goes nothing.
Keep the running up! I hope you fall in love with all that it has to offer--the pain and sweat, as well as the FUN. I swear, it makes me a happier person! :]
ReplyDelete1. I'm so glad you like it!!!
ReplyDelete2. you better not get better than me
3. I'm jealous of the nike+ even though I do not support nike
4. I need to heal
Well be careful because I decided to take up running about a month ago...it didn't end well. I came down to the lobby and somebody said, "Brandi, are you going running in the rain?"
ReplyDeleteWell that wasn't the plan, but I was already dressed for the occasion and I didn't look that bad. It was pouring by the time I reached the bottom of the hill. I almost got hit by a car in the crosswalk. Then I stopped under the little pavilion thing behind the square to get some of the water out of my eyes and text Lauren to tell her what a bad idea this all was. A cop pulled over and I thought I was in trouble for indecent exposure...oh did I mention that since I didn't know it was raining and hadn't done laundry I was wearing a white shirt...He says to me, "Hey its raining" yep. Then cop number two arrives on the scene and I am certain they are going to arrest me. He says to me, "You're all wet" yep.Running for me=BAD. Running for you hopefully=anything better than that.
