On the Road Again
I've been out of my boot of shame for about a week.
Remember my boot of shame?
Of course you do and if not, here you go
So, I decided this morning (well, last night)
that I was tired of not being out on the road
doing my jogging/walking/arms flailing thing
AND
I am signed up for the Cupcake Classic
So, this morning I decided I was going to walk
walk, just walk, the 3.7 miles
around my little circle neighborhood
(four times around plus two houses and back = 3.7 miles)
So, I didn't lace up my running shoes
because I wear these
which I LOVE
and only got to wear once
(the day I broke my foot)
and I know that sounds weird
but I didn't break my foot because of these
actually, I had my best jog/walk/flail ever that day
So, I put on my shoes
picked 'shuffle' on my iPod
and headed out the door.
As soon as I hit the road my feet wanted to run
I wanted to run
but I didn't
because I didn't want to hurt myself
and 3.7 miles is a long way
(for me at least)
One lap around
no running
Two laps around
no running
Half-way into the third lap
*I'll run for just two mailboxes and walk for three*
Fourth lap
*I'll run for just three mailboxes and walk for two*
Two houses out and back
*It's only a tenth of mile - I'll finish strong*
So I guess I failed at taking it easy
kinda
but I feel awesome that I was back out there!
And my time needs some work
1:05
but it still feels good
Until next time ~ Kris

I love your comments and I read them all. I'm not very good at replying to them though. It's one of my many downfalls. I hope you'll leave some anyway!
