About running, I mean. It seems like everybody's always like, "I'm going running," or, "I love running," or something ridiculous like that. (because who could actually like running?? OK, never mind, I can think of a few people...) And since I've torn my ACL, I've been introduced into this running world. (*pant pant pant*) And, as I'm not really the "runner type", I've never understood how somebody could actually like this pain.
That's when I figured out they liked it after the pain ended.
Well, gee, thanks.
And... that's when I figured out, if you're in shape, running is actually kind of fun, and you don't dread it as much. (yes, I did dread running. Yes, I kind of do dread running. Sorry, I just pretty much hate running. I would way rather be on here talking to you guys. :) Mostly because you guys are so nice and awesome. And... way more interesting then running.)
But it's weird. I never thought I'd ever see running as maybe something I'd enjoy once I got a little more fit. (I was "a little more fit", but then I got out of that by doing more biking then running. Great job, me. Not really. So now I'm playing catch up. Which... is kind of annoying, because I expect myself to be able to do better, and I can't, so I'm having to slow myself down and not go as far. Yes, I'm still doing the "run rest" thing, which kind of stinks, but oh well. =P)
(Oh yeah, by the way, guess how long it took to find a picture on my boards on pinterest of like somebody running? [at least sort of runningishlooking] And they're not even really running!!! #iamasadcreature #needingarunningboard #ormaybenot)
So, yeah, I guess I'm getting better at that. (though, actually, today's not my running day. Tomorrow is. And then the day after that I have off free, because Saturdays and Sundays are free. YES YES YES. I used to live for my free days. JK haha =D) At least, a little better. It's easier to push yourself when you know you can do better, you know what I mean? Before it was just like, "pantpant I'm dying over here!!! pantpant"
Yeah.
Sad.
Really sad.
Anyway, so that's kind of your "weekly or so" therapy update. (update review: I'M DOING BETTER!!! YAY!!! AND I'M NOT HATING IT AS MUCH!! IS THAT A GOOD OR A BAD THING?!?! PERHAPS I AM GOING CRAZY!!! AND PERHAPS I SHOULD TURN OFF THE CAPS NOW BEFORE I GO TOTALLY BERSERKO ON YOU!!!)
Farewell, awesome people. :)

P.P.S. Wow. I didn't know I had a "running" label. Whoopteedo. haha =D
Lol, you are so awesome!!! Last fall I was trying to lose weight and get fit-er. I started running in the morning (and cutting my meals practically in half) and I lost ten pounds! I could lose more, but I really don't like running! I had to force myself to do it, and yes I felt good afterwards, but I hated doing it. I mean, there was a reason I quit soccer years ago! I have very little running endurance! Anyway, that's my rant. Lol

Lol, o ya I hate running!! But I really wish I was more fit though (like a LOT more) because right now im trying to loose Some weight & I really need to exercise more =\ but unfortunately I think I like icecream too much! Lol, I don't know if I can give up all my unhealthy eating habits but I'm going to really try =D and I hope to start exercing more. but anyway enough of me going on & on- loved this post! U never fail to make me laugh =)
ReplyDelete:) I love running, but yes it starts out super hard. Once you push through that it just gives you a sense of freedom or something. Or at least that's how I feel. I can't stand running track though, it's too boring for me. I love running on streets!
