So you all know now that I started
the “couch to 10k program”. I was
sweating just running 60 seconds in a row let alone a full 10k. I am being pretty optimist about it because I
really want to accomplish this for personal pride reasons and come on all the “cool”
people run!
Last week I started and it was 60
seconds run 90 seconds walk…my legs were burning and crying out “why the fuck
are you doing this to me?” I almost gave up thinking man this sucks I don’t
want to be that cool. I told myself grow
a set of fucking balls lady and get to crushing this! I CAN so do this…and I
didn’t put on two bras and waste my expensive mineral power makeup to look
pretty at the gym…or did I? Yes, I
confess I still put on makeup to go to the gym!
On a side note holy hell every freaking guy at
the gym yesterday was like a roman god!…this is REALLY why I go! I go
for me and so I can continue to be the badass I claim to be. ;)
Ok back to the training. So there I am WEEK TWO: DAY ONE 90 seconds of
running and 130 seconds of walking. Put on my I-pod to my new favorite song
that I literally listened to the entire workout on repeat…I have a major
problem with the repeat button. Josh Buckley 6 minute version of “Hallelujah”…I
know what you’re thinking REALLY this was your motivation…YES it was! His voice
transports me into a calm place and I can just concentrate on running and not worrying
about how much time I have till I can walk again. So off I went…Warm up…90
seconds of running…doing well no leg pain…walking…repeat the rest and I was
fucking golden! I did it! I fucking made it through the workout.
THEN I look down and realize I am “cooling
down” to a speed of 3.2 on the treadmill.
Now this may not seem important to some people but this was what I was
doing when I started at the gym in January as a workout. WHAT?!?! Do my eyes deceive me…no I was
really doing something great. I have to
say I was pretty darn proud of myself.
Just when you think you are a fool something like this slaps you in the
head and you remember that you are stronger, better and more confident than you
were before. I loved it!
Speaking of confidence…yes I say I
am AWESOME a lot. People are going to hate… I have been told
many times about this and “my overly new
into myself attitude”…this is what I have to say to YOU! FUCK YOURSELF…maybe a bit harsh but really,
8 months ago I got winded going up
the stairs to get something…
8 months ago I weighed 60 more
pounds than now…
8 months ago I would never do any physical
activities…
8 months ago I ate shit food ALL
the time…
8 months ago I would never wear
shorts let alone a bathing suit…
8 months ago I felt sorry for
myself but wouldn’t do anything to change it…
8 months ago I had no confidence
and did not believe in myself…
8 months ago I decided to change
myself for the better…
NOW…I AM FULL OF FUCKING CONFIDENCE
and I AM A BADASS!
Ok last thing I thought I might as
well put some of my time in graduate school to use and make this great graph…my
idea is that I want to run 50 miles by 12/12/12! Good plan I think that’s only
2.38 miles a week. I know that I will be
able to do that easy but I didn’t want to make some un-realistic number that
will be a monster to try to complete.
How did I decide on the end date?
Looked cool to me…simple as that!
