Couch Potato Puts on Running Shoes

So, I signed up for the half marathon in October. Ummm. I'm not a runner. I figured I would walk it and see how far I can get without passing out. Remember blue lips, sweat drips? Yeah, I faint at random areas. But, I'll update you on the fun "training" I'm doing. Hopefully, I get to keep my knee caps and I'm not a bff to shin splints. Eeks.

Running

I am one week & two days strong.

One hundred & six more to go....

Scariness

My anthropologies to all three of my blog readers for the lack of posts lately. It's 'cause I haven't been on the internet in eons! Anyway, it's storytime. Okaaay. Today I found out my body fat percentage & for the first time since freakin' high school I checked my weight. Holy crapola! I was walking around thinking I'm cute. Apparently not! This is getting me really tachycardic. Must find a fluffy pillow and situate myself at the corner of my bed in fetal position and rock away this scariness...

Spinning with Cat

My roomie is super fit. She eats only healthy things like spinach with no dressing and drinks 3 gallons of water per day. She runs six miles a day in the morning then will work out for another hour at night. AND, she's a med student like me...that means 8-5 class everyday and Monday & Wednesday exams at 7:30 am. That's motivation.

So, today me and my crazy self decided to join her for spinning. But, since we had to be there 30 minutes before the spinning class started, we briskly walked for thirty and spun for an hour. Oh my ghetto booty hurts! I just didn't wanna be the girl who sat down when everyone was spinning not sitting down. But, the good news is my lips did not turn blue and I did not pass out. YAY self!!! Now, I'm committed to going with Cat every Wednesday and Sunday to spin. Go booty!

Shout out to the Mummy: HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE MUMMY! :)

I don't have a nice picture of the mummy to post, so sorry.

Sadness :(

Sadness. We're not going to medWAR anymore because Hazel hurt herself. Maybe God is trying to send me a sign saying, "Do you really want to cross a lake holding your backpack over your head?"

Pet Peeves

I was running at the gym yesterday and this guy was running next to me and kept looking over at my screen. The reason I know this is 'cause the treadmills face the window and I can see his and my reflection. The guy would run slower so he'd be at the edge of the treadmill look over to his right (where I am), look at my screen, and then run faster, look under the t-shirt he put over his treadmill screen and see how fast he's going compared to me. Loser. He did that more than six times. That is until this teenage track runner got on the treadmill to his left and was running so fast without struggling. So, this guy looked over the teenage track runner's screen, then my screen, then his screen...and got off the treadmill. Finally. He just got intimidated by the track runner and couldn't run faster than him. Ha! That's what you get peeper!
