Week 2 Day 3

I don't wanna run today.

I woke up and absolutely did not want to get out of bed and running was out of the question. But I did it anyway. As soon as I went out the door I was surprised. It was cold out. I had a thought for a second that I'd need a jacket. So we started running. And then I saw lightening. But of course I made the rule last week that I had to get sprinkled on to get to turn back. Not a drop of rain, but tons of lightening. So I ran anyway.

If I'm honest right now, the running part is easy. I physically can do it. It my brain that is the problem. I just don't want to do it. So the whole time I'm running I'm think about how I don't want to be doing this. That makes for a long run. They say it takes 14 times before something becomes habit. I'm just about half way there. Maybe after 14 times I'll stop hating it.

I will say Annie and Bigs have really enjoyed the running. They are so excited to go they almost knock me over as I try to get out the door with them. At least someone is enjoying the running!

  1. Please be careful of the lightening. I have to admit that makes me nervous. Don't by chance have a treadmill for those 'bad weather' days? You and Lissa need to form a pact. She is trying to get back in the practice of aerobics, tibo and walking each day like she did in college. Me, well I pulled weeds for 4 hours yesterday and today I can hardly move. But my treadmill gives me the evil eye everytime I pass it on my way to the computer. Too bad Abby and Annie can't talk. I always found it easier to exercise with someone I could converse with. One week down....I'm proud of you. Maybe once you move and you can sleep a little longer before the run, getting out the door will be easier...and, you will have new scenery to look at!
