I’m never on time. I blame the crazies.
We had a fun weekend. Friends, heat, cookouts, and I worked out on Sunday…I know…day of rest…but I skipped Saturday so I had to get it in somewhere.
Here’s my workout calendar so far this month…
Tonight I’m either going to spin class or for a distance run….meaning 3 or more miles. I know…BIG DISTANCE.but when 3 months ago I could barely waddle a mile…I’m doing good.
This heat is BRUTAL to run in but I think I’m getting used to it. On Sunday I ran Emerald Glenn which a loop that’s close to my house. I like running it in case the babe and the hubby aren’t enjoying their quality time…I can come home quickly. It was 87 degrees and so beyond humid. I got to the start of the road and started my music and my map my run and just went. I had no goal in mind which is SO unusual for my incredibly Type A personality…I just wanted to finish without walking because it was so wicked hot. Once I got into the beat of the music I really didn’t think about anything. My usual train of thought includes wondering how long it would take for someone to find me if I passed out on the side of the road, what Max would terrorize in that time, and how much farther I have to run to justify going to Dairy Queen when I get home…
I rocked out to some legit toons all the way up the hill of death…around the top of the subdivision and back down…as I was coming up to the last quarter mile where i TRY and sprint which is probably your average person’s jog (thank you genetics and my wicked short legs). the song that was playing was not the usual one I hear at the end but I changed one song on my playlist so I wasn’t really sure where I should be. I hit stop on my map my run as soon as I crossed the stop sign then hang over the stroller DYING. If anyone would have driven by they would have called 911 for sure.
I start walking home which is just a half a block away and checked my phone to see how I did.
WHAT?!?!??! That’s a 10:49 min/mile while pushing Max??? In 90 degree heat??? That’s 30 seconds faster than the last time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shitoli!
This cute little man is such a good running buddy.
So there it is…You Monday Motivation. Get your ass out there and do it. Who cares if you jiggle jog a 15.30 min/mile your first time out and then go house a bag of twizzlers because EFF IT! I’m to fat to lose weight…………………………………………………………………………..
Just start. Everyone starts somewhere. And if you start today you’re farther ahead than if you wait until tomorrow!
My super motivational husband started noticing my progress. I was cutting watermelon Saturday and he comes up behind me and says wow babe…you look good. I give him the eye roll like dude…I’m cutting watermelon and ALL the kids are up…. and he says…and I QUOTE “no really! You’re legs don’t touch as much as they used to."
………………………………………………………………………………………
I had no words.
What’s coming up?
July 4th I’m running a 5k in Ann Arbor with the Max Man! We’ll be all decked out in red, white, and blue. It will be my first race pushing his buns so I’m going to start changing my running patterns.
In July my goal is to cut the shitty sugary foods 100%. No twizzlers..which I haven’t had more than one in a day since I traveled a few weeks ago…that day I ate a whole bag….WINNING.
I’ve been seriously considering clean eating which why the hell not?! It’s how we should all eat anyways. My biggest hang up? I don’t cook. So what we do eat I’m really good at “cooking". So this would mean totally changing how we eat as a family…scary. But necessary. So as soon as I put it out there that my goal is to eat clean in July………………………………………………………… It has to happen.
It’s not out there yet…..
Also in July I’m changing how I run…I’m not 100% sure how yet but on August 3rd the town I live in has a 5k and I’ve been running this town for MONTHS and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to rock that bitch.
As always thanks for reading my exciting road to fitness! Now go move your body!
