BLAM-BLAM-BLAM-BLAM-BLAMMy alarm clock decided to take it's most annoying tone with me this morning so I slapped it for it's lack of respect and turned over for another 5 minutes of sleep. My sheets were also in a mood and decided to become Velcro and stick to every portion of my body with their warmth which only furthered my aggravation. My bed, realizing what was happening, could not be left behind and decided to convert to it's most comfortable soft and lovely manifestation and as I cooed in delight ....BLAM-BLAM-BLAM-BLAM-BLAMMy five minutes were over.... and that is why I did not want to get out of bed this morning.
But I still sat up. Cursed a couple of nonsensical blatherings silently in my head, as not to wake up Mr.Boyfriend, which went something like this:
#&$*$( alarm clock.
#&$*$( thursday, Why isn't it Friday? It feels like it should be Friday!
Why the #&$*$( am I getting up to run it' s not like I'm fast or improving or losing weight or anything for that matter!?!? I just huff and pufff my way through pretending to know what I'm doing. Why do you even run anyway!?!?!Who are you kidding!? I dragged myself to the bathroom. Fully intending to crawl right back into bed as soon as I was done ... and that's when I saw him!
It was the Grump-Bumpy I-DON'T-WANNA DEMON!
He's the little voice inside your head that tells you that you can't!
So I rushed out, got dressed, had my pre-run shake and ran out the door! In my head knowing that with each step I took I was SQUISHING Mr. I-DON'T-WANNA on his head!
It wasn't a particularly fabulous showing but I got out there and that is half the battle in my mind and today I am THANKFUL I did because:
- YES! Running isn't easy! Not everyone can manage to get up and RUN 3, 4, 5 miles (9,10,11 on weekends) before some people even think about getting out of bed!
- FINE! There will be times when you won't see improvement for days, weeks, months ... but I know IT.WILL.COME!
- ALSO Someday you won't be able to do this ... BUT TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY!?!?
Countdown continues:
T- Minus 10 days to my First Half-Marathon
Happy Thursday!?!?!
