“Getting Back on the Horse”
Today is the 18th day I’ve gone jogging at 6AM for about 3 miles, since Sept 1, 2008. :D Jessica Large has gone with me a lot of these days but this week she has been sick so Mon, Tues, Wed I went all by myself…which I find to be very fundamentally different and motivational for myself personally! I was smiling this morning when I got halfway around the route just thinking wow I never would’ve thought I could get up and do this THIS early, without hitting snooze, without complaining…but I think I like it. No, I really like it. And I CAN do it, and it’s not so bad! It’s actually refreshing and gets me ready for the day…I need everybody’s support to keep it up though, because usually I don’t make it past two months without “falling off the horse” again. If I can make it past that 2 month mark then I’ll be on my way to a healthy happy body. :)
And kudos to my dad who is doing this with me from Ohio – getting up every day and working out on his Schwin Airdyne Bike for 30-40 minutes! Good work dad!
This map is my jogging route (the point on Bell Ave is my house and the point on Wolcott is Large’s house) – and p.s. google maps rocks for having sweet routing capabilities. Wish me luck – I have to do this!
Sexy swimsuits here you come. Brown chicken brown cow!
This is fantastic! It’s amazing how great you feel when you stick to your goals!
p.s. I love you but NO I will not participate in any marathons of any sorts for any amount of time.
thats awesome! i’m soo proud of you:-)
you need to extend your jog by a couple miles so that you can swing by the South Loop and get my lazy ass out of bed…
But seriously though, that’s great…it’s one thing to have the ambition to want to follow through with a plan like this, but completely different to actually follow through with it!
thanks everybody for being so supportive. I need it tonight…gotta get to bed if i’m gettig up that early tomorrow. I’m excited though, just signed up for the Bucktown 5K on Sunday…that should be interesting since I’ve never done a 5K before…hopefully I am not the last one crossing the finish line~! haha.
ok so this morning I did 3 miles in 36 minutes and I assumed that was pretty bad but I guess for a beginner its not so bad…so I am happy…I guess its a place to start, right? :)
thats awesome, babe! im so proud of you!!! stick with it, even if you really dont want to at times, you’ll thank yourself later!
hey, my iPhoto crapped out and i think i lost all the pics from my chicago trip. :( you dont happen to have high res copies for me, do ya? :)
