Alright. Let me put this into a visual for you. I'm on the treadmill doing my first run in over two weeks (which went GREAT btw). And this guy walks in. Small afro, white guy, dressed in an 80's tank top and tight sweat pants. He gets on the mats in front of my treadmill and starts stretching. Now, up to this point it was no big deal. It looked normal. But then he started doing karate moves and whispering to himself something about "soofra" and he lost me. I lost it. I could not contain my laughter. The best part was how serious he looked. Straight face, concentrated eyes. No loss in focus. This guy was legit! But oh my. Three miles later I realized I was done with my run and had been watching him the entire time. I guess it flew by because of it. So, thanks guy with the afro?
Anyway. Yesterday was supposed to be my first run but because I am incredibly awesome I got to the gym the exact time the gym was closing. LAME. And then I considered running outside like I have done so many times before. Except there was a huge snow storm and I couldnt see 20 feet in front of me. Again, I have the best life. So today was my first run. And today felt awesome. I felt so strong and incredibly excited about the training to come. I even did my run between classes, which was amazing for me. I finally have a night where I am not in the gym until 10 PM. Although I cant wait to be in a place that has a 24 hour gym so that I can run around 1 or 2 in the morning. I hope wherever I get a job I can find a gym like that. Cross your fingers!
Tomorrow is another run, but no weights. I might add a nice set of body exercises in just to keep it interesting. Whats on your schedule for tomorrow? Anything fun?
I'll post an update on tomorrow's run. I've missed running, and its sad that I cant wait until next weekend for my 8 miler. Woo hoo!
Happy Training,
Charity <3
