Baby got back...

..."LA face with an Oakland booty"...

It's been roughly 8 weeks maybe more since I have started running and not only have I NOT lost any weight, I now have a butt. I had a flat ass and now I have back! I keep getting glimpses of it in the mirror when I walk by and I have to do a double take to see if that is really my butt in the reflection. I guess it looks nice, but I am not used to it yet.

Speaking of back, I am back logged on my blogging so I will give you a quick run down...

Saturday- Ran 7.4 or .5 miles with Cousin Barb and Sole Sports crew in 117 mins- Is that really a 15 minute Mile? UGH!!! I have to admit, I had issues- If there is not a bathroom around or I'm trapped in a window seat on a plane (dont ask) I get this nervous pee and think I have to go the entire time. So bless Barbs heart, we veered off the path a few times to help look for a bathroom because I thought (and I really did) I had to pee the entire run on Saturday.

Sunday- I was not going to run because I was tired- simple excuse! but my step son and husband went shopping at Dicks sporting goods and came back with a bag full of stuff. I asked what they got and Dominic said "Dont worry about it" considering my birthday is next week I knew it was for me :)..
At about 4pm, the 2 boys who cant keep a secret or a surprise gave me my presents.. and they were a pair of Nike long warm running pants and shoe inserts for my arch!.. Now heres the funny part, Andy was looking at the inserts at Dicks and then Dominic told him that his Mom, The Ex-wife, aka Monster swears by them because she has the same foot arch problem as I do... Joy! I had to go for a run to try out the new digs 4.4 Miles in 50 mins (slow slow slow) BUT I have to report.. those damn arch inserts actually worked and my foot has not hurt in 2 days.. not sure what I love (hate) more that the ex and I have something in common or that she was right about something.... (for reference, they are called Super Feet in the green box and they work!)

Monday- Rest Day Yay!

Today- Tuesday- I brought it inside because it was 28 degrees when I woke up this morning.. I actually knew it was going to be cold so I packed a bag last night for the gym just in case and thats exactly what I did- 45 mins on a treadmill- inside a gym- with boring music and boring surroundings. I cant believe I like running outside more than inside. I had a huge mind struggle this morning and today I may have had one outside too but at least I would not have been stuck in one place looking at the time left ticking away, fast forwarding every song, walking then running, and telling my mind to keep going- it was more exhausting then running my great loop outside!...

Anyway- This Baby's back has to get back to work- Keep running my friends!

  1. Yeah, Saturday was way too slow. I got some warmer clothes that won't way me down and I'm not drinking 4 beers and eating 2 pounds of potatoes the night before!! We'll put more pep in our steps! Great job on Monday too!
