bare_bear: (Uncanny Exclamation)
Convo with a friend tonight after going for a run:

me:  Well, that was both better and worse than I thought it'd be
Fuss oh?
 me:  'okay, this isn't so bad, I feel pretty good, actually'
'ooo, okay, that interval was a little harder'
'oh god'
Fuss:  hehehe
me:  'CRAMPS OMG CRAMPS I HATE THIS WHYYYY'
'ow'
'oh, okay this one was a little bit easier'
'hey I feel great I could keep going'
'oh fuck there's one more interval? DAMMIT'
*dies*
Fuss:  hehe
remember to go slooooow
me:  I DID!
Fuss:  and that you will improve pretty fast
me:  it was pathedic
I think a toddler outpaced me at one point
the flab on my butt hurts
Fuss:  I hate the jiggle
me:  i distinctly remember at one point thinking "ow my flab!"
and then a Jesus-lover* caught me when I was red-faced and out of breath and cooling down and Spoke The Word at me for a while
and I was too out of breath and stunned to easily wiggle free

And then later:

me:  Man, I so want a beer after that run.
It was all I was thinking about through the last half of it
'I deserve a beer after all this crap'
Fuss:  lol
would kinda defeat teh purpose of the run though
me:  nuh uh! Muscle and stamina building!  And wheat is good for you yo!
Fuss:  lol
me: okay off to shower and sew!
have a good night, Fuss!  It was nice chatting running with you!  Or is that running chatting? Chat running? Run chatting? My brain is weird right now. TIME TO HYDRATE!


*His words, not mine.

So I'd planned to do this great running program, get in shape and become a much better runner in a few months. Well, I've fallen off the bandwagon a couple times, and this time round, it's been a month or so fall. EEP!

I went running tonight, and oh man, does that fall ever hurt! It got better towards the end of the run, but I've definitely gotten badly out of shape since last time I went running. :(

Still, this program is really good for getting started. It called Couch to 5K, and gradually gets your endurance up by building you up from 20 minutes of 1 minute of running and 1.5 minutes of walking, to a 30 minute straight run over the span of 9 weeks. And some ingenious DJ has mixed some music at different beats to motivate you and guide you when to walk and when to run. It's called Podrunner Intervals, and I know it definitely keeps me going!

Anywho, I may have posted about this before, but oh well. It's such a neat program that keeps you from killing yourself the first time out running, and I want to tell the world! :D

Maybe this time I can keep this up.

Maybe.
