sooooo that wasnt so bad

ok let me just be pissy for a second... screw you buddy runner that stops 8 seconds in!!!! need new app!! or something.... then secondly.. what the heck is up with the uber itchy skin about 1 mile in???? do you have any idea how ridiculous it looks trying to itch your back and power walk at the same time??? pretty ridiculous i am sure!!!

Thank you husband person and mocha mae for doing my walk with me today

so last night i mapped out 3.2 miles..... when i got back to the drive my first thought was... im not sure i can do this.. thats a lot longer than i ever thought it was gonna be visually..... then self said... you wont know if you dont try... you gotta at least try....

so this morning.. up i got.... and the hubs and the dog and i started out...... got about a mile in and i was like this is not so bad.. but thats only cuz it was all familiar and i had walked it before... got about mile and half in and had to turn the corner and go up hill and thought. F&*!, this is gonna suck monkeys butt.... then my first thought was whats the shortest way home??? yup i did..i wanted to quit... bad.. i wanted to quit so bad... but i just kept going.... told myself.... u can do this...... so i kept walking kept pushing.. the pace slowed a bit.. but thats ok..... then i thought i can do this..... hahaha for about the next 5 minutes.... then looking for an out.. i asked the hubs... does mocha need to take a short cut home? he looked at me.. no she is fine but if you have to go we can.. im like what??? me?? never i am good!!! hahahaha

so on we went... ran into a bunch of other runners/walkers/ those trying to look like they are running but look like they are dieing... lol...everyone was nice and waved and said good morning

so the jist is that we went 2.8 miles in 41 minutes... the dog did poop out along with my hips.... but i am sure it will just be an endurance thing... no running... just walking.. and thats a great time... so no complaints.... for someone that went from 135 and three sports... to 420#'s and barely able to walk across the room.... to 215# and getting ready for a 5k..... i wont complain... and just relish that i AM walking/running into the rest of my life.. i wont quit... i may have to daily talk myself into .. but that is ok... its not how i got there... its THAT i got there. :)
