Tonight I ran Week 2 Day 1 of C25K. Several epiphanies.
- I had just totally psyched myself out. I really think it was easier than Week 1. And I’ve ran week one for like 5 weeks. Not in a row. But I’ve been running off and on since the spring only to finish week one and then get freaked out and stop.
- Running at 9pm is beautiful. Cooler. Lit by streetlamps. More people are out. I loved it.
- I ran tonight to my “Sing-along Songs” playlist. Yeah, it’s hard not to actually sing along. I caught myself humming aloud a few times. I don’t want to be the freaky neighborhood girl that sings when she runs. Although it was pretty cool that I had enough breath to sing. Especially to the REM cover of U2′s “One.” (which is my favorite song of all time.)
- I think the iced latte I had about 2 hours before I ran might have helped. Not sure.
- I have really changed my life. I make completely different choices. I went to dinner, went to the bookstore, got home late, and still ran. I have changed my life.
So yeah. That’s me today. Tomorrow I have an early appointment with the scale at Weight Watchers. I’m also gonna follow Fat Bridesmaid’s call and post a picture without makeup tomorrow. I mean, really. You have all seen some pretty unflattering shots of me. So bring on the lack of makeup! You should play along too!
