So I decided to go running today so I would have something funny to blog about...
I may have a few talents up my sleeve, but all of them seem to escape me when I run. Here's the rundown, which starts last night at bedtime:
1) Set alarm so I can get up early and get to the gym for my first run since I injured myself back in the spring (clearly I have a great track record).
2) Woke up about 50 times during the night because I was worried I would sleep in and miss my run. Seriously, who does that for a Monday morning treadmill run? This girl, that's who. Stupidity #1
3) Make it to the gym a little early. Put on my super awesome Garmin GPS running device that I love. Stupidity #2- I don't really need a GPS device when I am running on a treadmill. Was I worried I would get lost??
4)Forget to turn on said GPS device, so I ran the entire time in the same spot, not having my handy device tell me that I was in the same spot. Stupidity #3
5) Manage to run all 6 miles at 8:49 pace. This leaves me feeling proud of myself and accomplished for approximately 1 hour.
6) Proceed through the work day gimping along like sasquatch because I am horribly sore and potentially broken from running in place for 53 minutes with a GPS device that wasn't turned on. Stupidity #4
7) I am now leaving to go to go buy new running shoes from the running store, where ironically I will receive a discount because I am a patient of the physical therapist office that I went to when I was injured from... running!! Ah, it all comes full circle. Stupidity #5
I am sure there will be more blogs on this topic in the future. Cheers to all!
You make me laugh! Seriously, though, great run!! Now do yourself a favor and buy some Brooks running shoes :)
ReplyDeleteAs your PT friend, I must thank you for keeping me and all of my colleagues in business. Also, I think there's a Fleet Feet in Tysons... hit that up, they usually do well in fitting people.
