Ok I have been such a lazy arse since I moved. I did join a gym but now I am getting more creative about finding excuses not to go. When I do go, I do not want to do the treadmill. In order to prevent any further damage, I MUST start running. I was doing so great last summer, I know I can do it and I just have to get past the lazy arse.
Yesterday I found a link to a website. www.goruneasy.com Thank god. It lets you plot different routes and see exactly what the distance is. I thought it was way cool. So, out of curiosity I plotted a few routes close to my house. Then this morning I forced myself to go RUN. I ran 1.1 miles. Minor technical difficulties – my iPod battery died right at the beginning of Sexy Back- depressing! But I kept plugging along even though the dry desert air sucks all the moisture out of my throat and I just want to STOP!!!
Now that I’m back I feel like I will hack up a lung, but I feel good (ok, sort of) and I am happy that I actually ran a whole mile without stopping.
Tonight I’ll do yoga at the gym and then run again tomorrow. Little bit at a time.
