I wonder why...

Friday, April 2nd 2010

...Some days are harder to get through than others.

...I still see a 263 pound person in the mirror.

...I was so mad at myself for sleeping in until 7 this morning, after working 15 hours yesterday.

...I don't ease up on myself.

... I don't pat myself on the back more.

...I set myself up for failure before I even try.

...Being better than everyone is more important to me than just being me.

The official graduation / Superman / and blah blah blah.

Thursday, April 1st 2010



It's official.

I can now buy this beautiful shirt. I've worked nine long weeks to be able to say I can wear this shirt and know it to be true. I woke up early this morning with that "runner's anticipation" in my stomach. That nervousness in the pit of your stomach that starts to wonder how far, how long and how in the world?

For a fleeting moment I prayed for another downpour. It was only fleeting. I wanted to do this run. I wanted to get outside before sun rise, pop i...

Two 30 minute runs: A comparison.

Tuesday, March 30th 2010

One more.

Then I’m on my own to figure out where I want to take this whole running thing. I’m a little nervous that once the program is over I’ll lose my drive to continue. There are other running programs out there 5k-8k and 5k-10k that I’ll probably download to my trusty little shuffle and give it a go. With that being said I have run the 30 minute portion twice.

Weigh in #13

Saturday, March 27th 2010

Up bright and early today.

So much to do.

So few hours to do them.

Walk the dogs
Run the first day day of c25k week 9 (30 minutes)
Get to gym for first training
Work out (this is yet decided)
Head down south to Chehalis to help my husband cater a wedding
Oh yes and Weigh in…

This has been the strangest week as far as what the scale is giving me in numbers. Up, down, up, down, up down. I resolved myself to not being freaked out. Give me a gain, fine. Stay the same, ...
