Week 2 and day 2 of treadmill running

This is what I look like after 2.35 miles of running at 9:30 at night. ------------------------------------------------------------------->

Today was my second day of treadmill running. I still don't think

I want to make a habit of it. But it works well when you are out of town

i.e. in San Francisco where there are lots of hills. That will be for another blog

entry several months from now. CHUNKY GIRL RUNS A HILL. Oh how I can anticipate

the wheezing and huffing and puffing. But for now I'll pass.

So here's the scoop from my second day of treadmill running. This use to happen to me in college too. There is always some out of shape guys who wants to get on the treadmill next to me. And at some point he decided to run. Because he figures if she can do it I can too. What he fails to realize that I have mastered the art of pacing and am running at the same speed as others may walk. So this out of shape guys feels inspired by my treadmill antics and starts to run at a god forsaken pace. About five minutes in to it. He starts to hobble and breath really hard. But it would be a blow to his ego to just stop cause if she's doing it so can I right.

---WRONG!---

So the poor guys is dang near dying but his ego won't let him stop. Mind you I've already been running on the silly machine for over 2o mins and still have at least another 20mins to go.

---POOR GUY!---

Finally the guys give up and now both his ego and legs are sore.

---SO SAD!---

Well here to another 2 miles down and hundred more to go.

Running at the Gym

Yesterday I went for a run at the gym and I realized that treadmill running is not for me. Its too easy to just look at the time and realize that you've only been running for 5 mins and you want to stop already. I found myself just staring at the clock the ENTIRE time. Also I was on the most stupid treadmill known to man. It had a stop button on the side rails so I accidentally kept pressing stop, about every 5 mins when I was trying to keep myself from loosing my balance I would press stop. Who really wants to start running again after you've stopped. I was able to motivate myself about 3 times. But the fourth time I pushed it I just relented to defeat. So I only ran a mile and a quarter and then walked another mile.

But Ive decided that sometimes you just have to move your ass. I didnt do much but here to another day of ass moving. CHEERS!
