Open up a can of Whoop Ass!

There has been a bit of a break through in the running department.

The fat lady has apparently decided to leave the building.

The fat lady always popped in my head during the second mile of my runs.

She was always a voice of discouragement.  She would start telling me that I needed to quit running and just walk.  That I'm too old, fat, hot, sweaty, look like a doofus, whatever to do this so I should just walk.  She would start telling me that even though it's a 5k day I should just take the street that makes it a 2 miler and head back home.

Last week, during the second mile, a new voice came in my head.

I was nearing the place where the fat lady would begin her mission to sabotage me, to encourage me to quit running and start walking. But a new voice told me to "just go to the next light pole and see how you feel."

So I did and I felt good so I kept running and the voice said "just go to the next street and see how you feel."

So I did and I felt good so I kept running and the voice said "just go to the big tree and see how you feel."

So I did and I felt good so I kept running and the voice said "see?! you can do this!"

So I kept running. 

yeah

I like this new voice!


Not too long ago my DD sent me a picture she took while she was running on the treadmill.  It was a picture of the energy drink she was having.
