Like every other person in the world, getting in shape was my new year's resolution. 2011 was a fairly good exercise year for me until school started again in September and neuro killed my hopes and dreams. I was running seven kilometres over the summer and hadn't tried to increase distance after that. Seven km seemed pretty fair... It was further than I had ever ran before (at least I think so).
This week I pulled on my new Nike Shox (love!) and ran five km on the treadmill! That was quite a feat for someone who has hardly ran since August, I must say. Hopefully this is the beginning of staying on the wagon. Would someone just chain me to the wagon already so I can't possibly fall off???
And as Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:24, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize."
As a side note - as I trudged unwillingly off to the gym, someone else at my house was eating this. (And yes, that is two cups of ice cream in a measuring cup. We were out of bowls.) The sad thing is, that person can still run more than I can and never seems to put on any weight.
I loooove that verse! It's somehow gonna be a part of my half sleeve.
ReplyDeleteI think that the treadmill was a good idea in theory, but it's lacking a few major things, ie: a box surrounding it, with moving pictures to make it seem like you're actual making progress. Boredom is myself issue. I can't wait for sunnier weather!
You're shoes are also very cute! I think after this summer I'm gonna need to buy new ones. I also think we should run a race together!!
Love the sneakers!!
ReplyDeleteShawn would love an ice cream treat like that. He is the same way - eats whatever and can still outperform me in anything fitness-related.
