Done. Whew. I'm exhausted.
Trying to figure out just how far I went? 28 to 30 blocks total. Windy. Walked, jogged and sprinted. And damn, I'm tired.
The whole time I kept reminding myself what the Princess says, hold your hands like you are holding to cans of soda ... and she's right, it really does reduce your exertion ...
So how about it, how did you do today??

Pushing yourself
I hate to run. I mean, really, really HATE to run. Jog, trot, whatever. I hate it.
I hate the feeling of breathlessness and gasping for air.
I hate the feeling that my feet look dweeby after leaving the concrete (have you ever seen some people who seem to have floppy feet? That would be me probably but I have NO evidence).
I hate the jiggly look of my thighs when running.
And I am not light on my feet, so I sound like a horse running.
But last night, because I couldn't get my lazy butt up and moving, I did a walk/jog/run.
24 blocks total.
Brisk walked the first 12 blocks in like 14 minutes. Then turned and jogged. Finished the last 12 blocks in 10 minutes.
Uggg. I had to push myself.
Come on, run til you get to the next street. You can do it! Go!
I may have been mumbling to myself the whole time. Couldn't tell you what songs were playing on the Ipod as I was way to engrossed on getting to the next street, the next sign, the next car, damn it, just count to ten! No, I did NOT run the whole 12 blocks (are you kidding??). But I bet I ran 6 blocks total which is pretty impressive if you KNOW me!
And I wore my new shoes ... they are definately made for running. No foot cramps. No bruising. And cushy. Sweet.
