As of lately I have not been wanting to run at all.
I'm cheating on the treadmill with a (new to me) elliptical type machine that really works the back of my thighs and my ass. Like hurts so good. Bound and determined (not really) to run tonight I got on the treadmill to run a mile but then I just thought to myself after a whopping .30 mile, "screw this shit I don't wanna do it I'm getting on the other machine" CK was working out with me and since there is only 2 cardio machines in our apt gym I made him switch with me. Good thing he doesn't hate the treadmill right now and I got on my little gem and worked this big ass out.
However, I feel like a failure at running and like I went from running 5 miles (biggest achievement of my life) to wanting to kill myself over the .30 I tried to do tonight. But then after dinner and while watching some scary TV in honor of Halloween I was reading one of my favorite blogs and I figured it out... I'm tapering. Or at least this is what I'm going to tell myself so I can feel better about it. You ask, Terri what are you tapering for? Well, nothing damnit I'm just going to stop running as long and hard right now and I'm not going to feel guilty about because I'm going to say I'm tapering. There we go. Take that guilt and shove it! I will have my "marathon" next week of oh say... 3 miles just to make this an official taper. Okay, so there is my goal 3 miles on Wednesday....yup. Ready Go.
PS. EATWATCHRUN we were walking in Downtown Kirkland, WA the other day and we saw this and I had to get a picture for you - anytime I see rabbits I think of you (in a totally non stalkerish way..maybe)....
Two big bunnies
and RunningofftheReeses anytime I see a Reese's now I have to eat one because of you. I'm going to have to stop following you if I can't kick that damn habit. Tisk Tisk. Oh, and something is wrong with your 15 things Friday post and I can't open the damn page Wahh!
I also think I took a shower too soon after my spray tan tonight...I'm not as dark as I should be...that's okay though.. I work at a tanning bed now so I'll just get another tomorrow. Oh glory days!

LOL! I'm definitely going to tell people I'm tapering from now on whenever I don't feel like working out. Stolen!
ReplyDeleteAnd those are some serious bunnies right there. I'm going to have to get a replica of that for my living room. Same size and all. I think it will be totally normal to all our house guests.
