I don't know what happened to my blogging.
I don't even know when I will be consistant with it again, but there are a few things I DO know.
1. I haven't been running. AT ALL.
I think my foot has been my excuse because I was scared of having to start over.
2. I'm starting back with a beginners 5K running plan TODAY.
As much as I HATE seeing that my first week starts off with running 1 minute, walking 1 minute for 20 minutes, I know I have to start from the ground and work my way back up. No more starting with a 3 mile run and being frustrated because my time sucked or because I had to stop 2943052 times to catch my breath.
It's a process.
And...I HATE seeing this SO much more...
You're SO welcome for the crotch shot, but this is what happens when I gain 15 pounds and my thighs and my pants get in to a knock down drag out.
3. I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself.
I need to put my big girl panties on and remember that it could always be worse, and I'm lucky I have the option to start over.
4. I'm tired of this funky pain in my neck from turning my head a certain way while sitting in front of the TV for WAY too long every day.
Hi, my name is Danielle. I love watching TV, eating chips and salsa and procrastinating.
4. I'm a much happier person when I feel good about myself.
Trust me when I say I haven't been the easiest person to be around lately.
It's going to be mentally tough for me, but I have to start somewhere.
I'll take any encouragement I can get. I can't wait to be a "runner" again!
true. true. and true. i'm so glad you decided to kick-start yourself. that crotch shot killed me- i just had to get rid of a pair of jeans last week for that same shit. uuuugh. makes me so mad. but you need to be online more, i think... the more i read running blogs, the worse i feel about not running. a sick, twisted kind of motivation. haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. You got this!
ReplyDeleteI split my pants twice. Once when I sat down in my car after shopping. Luckily I bought some new jeans that day. The other time was when I was "getting low" on the dance floor. LOL! I had to rely on some guy's hankerchief to cover the hole.
ReplyDeleteTake your workouts one step at a time. You'll get back to where you were before!
oh friend! you have got this! seriously...any time you need encouragement just let me know. I BELIEVE IN YOU!
ReplyDeleteYou can do this!!! I've been a mucho slacker on the running/blogging front too, so know that you're not alone!! Let's get on track (not a pun) together!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the 5K plan. I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you are STILL a runner. You're just taking a break. Once a runner always a runner! And I think you'll feel better starting from the 5k plan too. It's hard not to want to get crazy and start out with a 6 miler but your body will love you for it.
ReplyDeleteYou can doooooooooooo it!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can do it girl!! Just think about how much better you will feel and how worth it is in the end. Going back to school and getting on a regular schedule will probably help. I totally believe in you.
ReplyDeleteI'm just coming off a blogging/running break and it felt SO GOOD to step away, be lazy and get refocused. Now that I'm back, the motivation is 10 fold. You can do it!!! One step at a time.
