Get Going
Get going.
Just get out and go somewhere.
Some days are like today-
You wake up and your body says NO-
All last week I had this nagging pain in my shin-
Bruised?
Strained?
Who knows-
Today it told me "don't you dare" ---
So I didn't.
I have come too far to worry about a little walk.
You know what cracks me up about the whole 'running' thing?
This almost 'step-sister' mentality toward walking-
I find myself falling into that trap more often than not- turning my nose up to a perfectly good walk....
Granted, I realize I'm training for a RUN,
but if a walk helps me reach my goal- so be it!!!
But today as I was WALKING :O)
I thought about all the times people ask:
"Do you REALLY run?"
Well, if you want to get particular,
I guess I could put a new heading
in Endomondo that said:
"Walk, Wog, Jog, RUN"
Because technically, that is what I do-
But running is sooo much easier to say-
So I looked up my History on Endomondo anyway-
Here's how my typical run looks:
Mile 1- Walk about half a mile, start to Wog
Mile 2 -Wog, Jog and or Run
Mile 3 -Want to walk ( sometimes I do- really working on don't)
Mile 4 -Praise and Hallelujah, I'm through mile 3, bask in the glory-
Mile 5 -Realize I'm still running-freak out and walk (drink & fruit snack 1 or 2 peices)
Mile 6 -Realize that 6 is half of 12, which is almost half of 'a half'-Run like the wind
Mile 7 -Still going- getting tired. (If medium run say 7-9miles, I'm ok---if longer-stress sets in)
Mile 8- Crazy tired- (fruit snack 1 or 2 peices)
Mile 9- Excited- almost done!
-Run
Mile 10-Run
Mile 11-OH MY LAND THIS IS TAKING FOR EVER!!!!
Try not to Walk, most often Wog
Mile 12- Really? did I really just do that?
RUN!
And that is how far I've run so far.
How far have you gone? (heeheehee)
It only takes one step-
Doesn't really matter if you
Walk-
Wog-
Jog-
Run-
Doesn't even matter how far you go-
Just get going-
Just get out and go somewhere.
