week 4 day 1

news and notes from
week 4
day 1

this week's playlist from
kiss my black ass
is all michael jackson
so i finished my run
doing the moonwalk
sorry about the crotch grab at the end
had to be done...

i saw the dog i named roger
this time in the daylight
still don't know if it's
roger
or
rogerina
big beautiful golden retriever
i'm sticking with roger
roger lives on the corner
doesn't care when i run past one side of his house
but gets really mad at me when i run past the other side
but either roger is really well behaved
or there's an invisible fence
i'm guessing fence

i met frank the pug
from men in black

he doesn't wear the suit at home
he doesn't really speak english either
he just barks at people as they run by

i met one of the hyenas from
the lion king

don't know which one though
or at least a hideous looking dog that looked like them

but in all seriousness
today was a big run for me
i didn't make it this far
the last time i tried couch to 5k
run 3 minutes
walk 1.5 minutes
run 5 minutes
walk 2.5 minutes
run 3 minutes
walk 1.5 minutes
run 5 minutes
this one was tough
the last 5 minute run
was hard
my legs felt like jello
with weights floating in the middle
i was THIS close to quitting
but
i didn't
i finished
and i'm not afraid to say
that i've never been more proud of myself
these runs may not seem like much
but for someone who has been a smoker for half of their life
hey - it's been 225 days since my last cigarette
YAY ME!!!
and is overweight
and is was lazy
this is a big deal
and i feel amazing!!!
