I’m being obsessive again, looking through my blogs search terms (things people searched for and were directed to my “innocent” little blog).
The first installment of this was a little crazy. This one is tamer and more on target. But still warranted a few laughs and “WTF’s?”.
So without further adieu……..
4.73 miles in 46 minutes!
It was a gorgeous 55 degrees outside and clear when I started running today. And the “pollen keepers” even kept the pollen at bay until the end. However, parking sucked pork butt. It took me 4 times the normal time to find a parking space. So glad my group waited. (more…)
Today, me and Steddy had our first spat. He wouldn’t “locate a satellite” until a mile in my run. I thought at first Steddy was being typical but realized all of my running mates were having similar problems. So I am giving him a pass…However, if he doesn’t shape up, I’m going to give him a piece of my mind.
Speaking of minds, mine is having an ADD day today, so here is some “mind vomit” for you. Very condensed. (more…)
Hey Oprah, I have a Stedman too!
My “Lil Steddy” is slim, dark and handsome, oh and slightly bulky in all the right places. He runs with me, helping me along the way. Today he yelled at me for going too fast/slow. Yep, he know what I want and need and keeps me right on target. I’m in love! (more…)
So yesterday I headed out for my first run with the New Garmin. Yep, I got a Garmin, I got a Garmin. I’m EXCITED, can you tell? Well, I can’t really say new, it’s new-sed, as I bought it from a guy on Craig’s list who referred to pants as trousers. Needless to say I was super stoked to try it out. I usually do one run per week with the group since that’s all I can handle with all the talking they prefer to do. But this week, I had to go back. When I woke up in the morning, my knees literally jumped out of their sockets and said “Oh hell no!” Apparently, they weren’t excited about the impending 4.5 mile run. We made a compromise, we would get a short run in, just so I could play with the Garmin, but cut it short if needed. (more…)
I searched PROUD in google images and this is what came up...
So yesterday I was talking to my BFF, I’ll call her KT, and we were talking about working out, getting fit, and the goodness of cake, and she confessed to me that she really wanted to incorporate running in her life. At that very moment, I heard dramatic music and the sky opened up, and all the sun in my world came out.
Why is this a big deal? Well, first, I LOVE this girl. She is super amazing, supportive, and probably knows me more than I know myself. We are god parents of each others daughters and most importantly we are one of the few people who each other can stand for long periods of time. We have been through so much together, including being behind bars (well, for about 2 hours) and me sitting under a table in her delivery room as she was giving birth to her first child. So it just makes me want to jump for joy to know that we will be able to conquer running together. Additionally, we decided to do the Komen 5K Race for the Cure on the National Mall in June. This will be KT’s first and my second. I committed that I would run with her once a week. She is doing the same version of the C25K program I started in January. So I am hoping I can help her get through it.
Today was day one for her. (more…)
…and my legs are on display in Adams Morgan!
No, I wasn’t celebrated with a statue in my honor. The reality is that they detached from my body during my run today and slithered away from me in hopes of escaping the beating they were taking. Darn It! That four miles was CRUCIAL!
When I was away I decided that when I do these group runs, I was going to make an effort to keep it moving at a good pace and not just run just to be out there. We usually stop every few minutes for lights, and it makes for a really lazy run. Today, the universe must have heard my new commitment because we absolutely made every light…which should have been a good thing given I wanted to work harder. However, while my mind was on board, my body didn’t get the memo. (more…)
Forewarning, this post might contain inappropriate content.
So I don’t know if its lack of some very vital adult activity or if it’s a connection that everyone makes that is randomly just dawning on me. But while working out yesterday…it hit me how dirty minds could have a great time in a gym facility.
Now not saying I have a dirty mind. Truthfully, I’m as innocent as an untouched nun. But other, not so angelic people could get really excited by some of the things that go on in the gym.
For instance, yesterday, as I was on my thigh abductor/adductor thingie (more…)
If you looked up shame in the dictionary, you would find a picture of me with my lip poked out, and a caption that reads “Bgirl875′s run week”.
Today I got out for my, dare I say it, FIRST run of the week. Yep, it sucks I know. I have been super swamped getting work out of the way to be away for 13 days starting on Monday. So in the mornings, I could run. However, going to sleep every night at 3am, just doesn’t make for a happy 6:30am runner. I did workout on Tuesday with my BFF and although it was more like a chat fest than a workout, it counted. But today, I don’t know if I can even count whatever the hell that was that I was doing as running. (more…)
