It's officially the first day of summer. Which really has no real relevance to my life as I've been out of school for a month and a half now...oh, except that I started summer school three weeks ago...so summer...ehh? No real comprehension of the actual meaning of the word. But anyhow...being that swimsuit days are imminent since I've been wearing one for the better part of a month...I decided tonight was the night I jump start my 'I'm Going To Look Like A Victoria Secret Model...Even If I Have To Stop Eating...Forever...Diet' diet plan. One Problem: I have no will power when it comes to working out...and I have an addiction to Diet Coke. Today though, given the day...I made a compromise...I spent an extra dollar on my 12-pack and bought Diet Coke plus Vitamins and Minerals! Who knew?! I also went for a jog...and my thought process went a little something like this...
Five Minutes In: "Alright! This isn't so bad...you've got this!..."
...music up please! Born and raised in the U.S.A...by the way of New Orleans...
(this was me opptimistically singing Lil Wayne becuase I was still feeling AWESOME!)
Seven Minutes In: And I'm over it. My Ipod keeps falling out of my sports bra (only legit runners have cool armbands...I'm far from legit as you will see)...I'm getting tangled in my headphones...with every step that I run...my Ipod thinks this is a fun way to shuffle all that I am trying to listen too...I do not.
Ten Minutes In: Run to the stop sign...Run to the stop sign!" Cool down lap! except that I see headlights up ahead..."And we're jogging again..." No worries. I am that runner... I have no shame. I'm oddly faster and more coordinated in the presence of other people or random passing cars. Uh huh, cool, I know.
Twenty Minutes In...I think: (my vision was blurred I'm sure..;)
"Amber...you have to keep going...it's 10:30...at night. No one will find you until the morning if you die here..."
Conclusion: I still hate running...
So, all in all...I am a work in progress! Did I mention that I've def. been scoping out a five mile course I came up with few days ago? Clearly I'm going to be working my way up to that it seems.
Not Signing Up For Any 10k's Soon,
