• I gave up booze for better training results…however the more I train, the more I really want a damn drink.
  • I bought shoes that cost a vital organ small fortune to help me walk/run better. The shoe lady failed to tell me that the reason I will stop walking/running on the outside of my feet is because after wearing the new shoes, the outsides of my feet now feel like they’ve been used by Barry Bonds for batting practice.
  • The more I exercise, the more my creativity will be stimulated. Sadly, my imagination may be going strong, but it hurts to type. (I’m dictating this to my secretary. Promise)
  • In theory the more I exercise the better I should sleep. This theory does not account for two things: A: rolling over B: hydration.  Every time I roll over, my butt yells at me. Then as soon as I fall back to sleep my bladder yells at me.
  • Running will help me lose weight. However, the more I run, the hungrier I am, which means the more I eat, the fatter I get. Oh it’s a vicious cycle.

These are small things to contend with…but seriously, I could use a beer. Or two. Three max.

    Hey Hogzilla,
    Hang in there. I know exactly what you mean about irony. I’ll be home in another week and then I plan to join you.

  2. CarbKiller says:

    I TOTALLY relate on the whole rolling over/hydration thing. ROTFL (at least I’m not suffering alone!)

  3. Jodie says:

    Those are all valid points. But the things we do for ‘A better me’ is a price we have to pay. And the pride in oneself for doing it! You are doing great.

    Course, I do agree on the toilet runs. It’s CRAZY!

  4. Kristen says:

    So have one – a light one. I think you’ve earned it.

  5. CarbKiller says:

    Jodie’s right, you are doing amazingly well!

  6. Laura says:

    Your legs work well enough to roll over? I’m soooooo jealous!

  7. Teresa says:

    I think its so cool that you’re doing this. I’ve been walking with a friend and thinking of starting to run again (last time I ran, I think I was was being chased by a T-Rex). Not sure I’m brave enough, but you may just inspire me.

  8. Bitchy Burns says:

    uh…so does this mean you won’t be joining me for drinks this Thursday?

  9. KJ says:

    Oh the irony. I feel your pain. Seriously. I feel it. I ran again today. Only you would get me to try this crap. Did the mix and all. I am HURTING. I’m not giving up everything thing though. Sorry hon. I need a glass of wine tonight along with some pain killers.

    I’m really sorry about the new sneaks. I was worried about that so I didn’t buy new and am wearing my old shoes which are not that old just a few months. Hang in there it will be all right.

    I’m like you and will be 40 in June think of how hot we’ll be when we turn 40. That’s what I kept telling myself on the Dredmill today.

    thanks y’all. Laura, my legs barely work, but yes, with enough upper body exertion I can force my body to flip over. LOL Of course, the flip usually aggravates the bladder..

    I go running tonight with a friend. The course we’re running is a little hilly so I have a feeling tomorrow will be fun for everyone. 🙂

    I will think of you tonight as I am doing my training walk for the 3 Day. I have to train on hills and tonight is a six miler… after doing this for a year, I am so sick and tired of it and I HATE doing it by myself, but there is no one up here who will walk with me 6+ miles, so off I go with my iPod.

    Hmm, maybe I’ll try a week one podcast for the training C25K and see if it is more interesting. Do post when your fingers are working again after the hills….

  12. Laura says:

    That explains it. I have no upper body strength – never have.
