OOH, is it ever ripe in here for talking some people into committing to an endurance event....(shut up, Becca, yeah, yeah...I know). If you sign up and commit, it's similar to what we are doing here with this board, I found. You have made a promise and have a goal and a certain deadline. You HAVE to do the work. You can't train when you are drunk or have a hangover. I know it's not practical for everyone, but don't disqualify yourself too quickly! You would be amazed at what your body can do if you put your mind and heart into it. DO it Lush! Walk, jog, whatever. I've read stuff that says it's perfectly acceptable for novice runners to begin with run/walk in a ratio of running 3 minutes, then walking 1 minute for the distance required. You can do that!
I'm serious, though! Pussycat, I would be willing to co-chair the exercise butt-kicking committee! This from the chic who sat every single night on the couch and watched TV and scoffed at hubby's idea of going to the gym every once and a while. I much preferred to drink a bazillion glasses of wine.
Waves, nice job for pulling yourself up and getting out there! and Dilayne, AF and out there exercising, AND ready to dump the vino?? You are getting to be on the zag side of zig... or was it the zig side of zag??:H The good one!! However that went!!! Congrats on selling the pictures and on meeting your deadline. You didn't sell the LEMONS, did you? I just fantasize about buying it... maybe still!
Brian, I have to say I LOVED your post from yesterday. It put a HUGE smile on my face! I know what you mean about the smells and the sights... I'm considering a full marathon now.... yikes. Ask me again after tomorrow!!! Feel like I should finish what I started and now a "half marathon", even though it's HUGE for me, is a HALF marathon.
Yeah, ask me again tomorrow!
Time to carb load, hydrate, and put my feet up. Walked too much yesterday! There's so much to see here!! What a gorgeous city. Hubby is at the BAR already! it's 10am, but the Buckeyes are playing, so he gets a pass. AF for me today, DUHHHHH!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Jerrybear, how are you this morning? I read through your posts with great concern yesterday. Welcome, and I hope you do well this weekend and stay around. Take care, Sara.
