This morning when I woke up I felt pretty strong - then I saw Gwen Stefani on the cover of a magazine and thought to myself "man, she looks tough". So I got dressed in my coolest running outfit and did some sit ups while watching Knocked Up.
See pictorial evidence here:
I look just like her right? Remember when my hair was bleach blonde like that and I had that funny little top knot on top of my head? Seems as though Miss Stefani is biting my style, just a bit.
After almost borrowing the strangest looking pair of headphones from my hilarious neighbor, I set off on my run. I decided that following the "Discovery Walk" path through the park near my house was the best route to bring me to my intended destination. It hadn't occurred to me, of course, that I really had no idea where the "Discovery Walk" takes you. I soon discovered that I was lost. Turns out I went in the complete opposite direction of where I wanted to go - but you know what? It added an extra 10 minutes to my run, and that's just great.
For those of you who would like to track times, today I ran 6.67K, in about 40min. Not amazing. I know I can go faster, I just have to smoke less. Tomorrow I will do my first "long run" (that's runners' talk, just so you know) and it will be SEVENTY FIVE MINUTES. It's daunting, to say the least.
Stay tuned, and I'll let you know whether or not I survive. Oh, and no more Discovery Walks.
Oh and don't forget! I'd really love to raise some money for the cause (BESIDES MY INNER THIGHS) I'm running for - The Renascent Foundation. If you would like to make a donation to our team, please click here.
