"Running"

So after working my butt off at the gym before a beach trip, I obviously didn't want to lose all the work I had been doing and start all over when I got back (sidenote: been back a week and no gym gonna blame the migraine I HAD on that one - reason had is in caps is for another sit). My bestie Ashley and her hubs and cutie son had arrived a few days before us and had a ongoing convo about if this intricate mailbox design was a mermaid or a naked angel. Boyfriend and I decided we'd go for a run early and get a good pic of it!

Well my "running" is more run a song walk a song so I sent him a head especially since I have been the elliptical queen the past few months. During the next worst hour of the entire trip, I missed the bright orange mailbox, a city worker stopped working and offered me a sip of water out of the cooler on the side of his truck and boyfriend and I both discovered we cannot run (even though he ran double my distance and worked in sprints) and set a goal to start to run and run a race (well I want to run a race).

Tomorrow marks day one of running and y'all I am nervous. First off I didn't play sports (more of my being so tall the coaches made me come to tryouts and placed me on the team) but my love was dance so these 5'11 muscles are lean-ish and don't like running. Unless there is cake. Then they run like a tracker jacker is behind me!

And the is the running attire. The norts ride up so compression shorts are needed and shorts mean you have to be sure your legs are shaved. Which no girl likes to do. Then what about up top what if it is cool? You must layer but my apt complex is not my bedroom I can't just throw my clothes around when I take them off. Any tips on that?

And liquids... I love having my water bottle handy when I am on the elliptical.

Now Mr. Bentley he is gonna be so excited. He is the reason I will get up and do this. Get energy out of him. He loves to run.

So y'all wish me well! Couch to 5k here we come!

Oh and by the way the mailbox was a mermaid. Makes more sense then the angel. And we pulled over and looked one night.

Thanks for listening!
