The Rundown, Week 1, for realz this time

The enemy

Sunday, May 27 - I downloaded the C25K app and then my phone locked up, so I went with my standard every-other-driveway approach.  It worked well until a little over halfway done, I had to pass a parked car and then another car was quickly approaching, so I felt sandwiched in and cut back toward the curb before I was actually passed the parked car and took myself out with it's back bumper.  But I didn't fall.  As I righted myself, I stepped on a sugar gum ball and twisted my ankle.  But I didn't fall.  I was so relieved at not falling or getting hit by a car that I almost pee'd my pants.  So, I cut my route short and headed back toward home (because my bladder is about as strong as a broken rubber band) and raced toward home.  Good news:  I ran most of the way back home which is to say that's the most I've ever run.  Bad news:  I'm gonna need to do a LOT of kegel exercises between now and September 30.

Monday, May 28 - I totally stalked my BFF Rachael and found her at the OTHER Fleet Feet store. She sold me a sports bra.  The first bra was akin to a straight jacket.  For a measly B-cup, I was requiring a whole lot of spandex.  Daughter 2 pointed out that the first bra actually showed my nipplets.  "No one wants to see your nipplets when you run.  Probably no one wants to even see you run." I told her it wasn't  a topless run; she said it didn't matter.  Rachael hooked me up with a kindler, gentler, black sports bra that hides my nipplets.  I think I'm all set.  Also, Daughter 2 doesn't get to watch me run anymore.

Tuesday, May 29 - Today was one of those days.  'Nuff said.

Wednesday, May 30 - I caved to peer pressure and did the first workout of the Couch to 5K app.  I cooled down with some yoga.  And by "yoga" I mean I stood in the neighbor's sprinkler and cried.

Thursday, May 31 - When it storms and I have to "sleep" with one of The Daughters, you can bet your sweet patootie that I will NOT be sleeping.  I've been off all day long and did nothing.  I'd like to apologize for that, but I'm too tired to think of the words.

Friday, June 1 - I should have run today.  Instead I woke up at 3 in the AM and wrote.  Then I went back to bed at 8:00 when I started getting weird.  Then I woke up at 11:00 and went grocery shopping.  When my kids have to eat a spoon full of baking soda for breakfast, it's time to shop.  Then The Dad proposed an impromptu date night and then I crashed in bed. (Not because of the date night, though.)  I shall run tomorrow.

Saturday, June 2 - I woke up at 8.  On a Saturday.  I know!  Completely out of character.  I did my C25K workout and confirm that I cannot run prettily. (It's a word.)
