Anyway, I'm diggin' for some props today. Last night, I went to Relief Society. And ate yummy food that was probably not as healthy as, say, a Lean Cuisine. But it was tastier. I had no intentions of going running. But, I started thinking about it. And the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to do it. YES! I said WANTED! So I came home and went over to the gym for my run on the treadmill. I'm not gonna lie...it was really hard. But not as hard as I had expected it to be. I did the required 5 minute warm-up walk, all the while dreading the "run now" command. Inevitably, the phrase came and I began to jog...FOR 8 MINUTES straight. Followed by a 5 minute walk. Followed by ANOTHER 8 MINUTES. I'm going to let you have a little insight into my persona for a moment. I am NOT a finisher, by nature. I start lots of projects and get 3/4 or even 7/8 of the way finished and then I just never complete them. With that in mind, the last 30 SECONDS of this last run were sheer torture and I very nearly didn't make it. But I DID do it. I did! I managed to run/walk 2.5 miles in 35 minutes. Who-hoo! I'm really excited about this.
A lot of people have been asking me lately, "How's the running going?" The answer: "Great!"
