GETTING READY

This past week has been great. I have been in a great mood and I slept through the nights. What's the reason for the positive change you may ask? Well I have finally gotten my butt up and started working out. The 1st day I went on my run it was terrible. Though I made it through all 3.35 miles without stopping I thought I would die in the 39 minute process. The following day I headed out to the park again and if I thought the prior day was bad I had another thing coming. My legs felt like a combination of lead and rubber. As much as I tried to move faster my legs would not cooperate. At one point I wondered if I was running at all because I was moving so slow. As tragic as it seemed day 2 was only one minute slower than the previous day and that's actually not bad considering all the lactic acid buildup that I acquired after day 1. It's funny because while I'm foaming at the mouth and drifting in and out of consciousness I vowed never to get this out of shape again, but I have made this promise time and time again only to one year later find myself in the same predicament.

All in all I am happy that I have begun the fitness process. I have finally purchased INSANITY so there is no turning back. For some reason I think this program will be different from all the others I have tried yet failed at miserably. I will continue going on my runs this week and start the program after Spring Break. (I doubt I will do any running during my trip but I will try.)

Stay tuned! This venture should be very interesting.

Enjoy your beautiful weather and weekend.
