Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It has been one week since my last run.
Ok, Fine. It’s way worse than that.
It’s been one week since I even attempted any sort of a work-out type activity. The whole truth is that it’s been one week since I’ve tried to exercise AND during said week I have consistently indulged in things like Bacon Cheeseburgers and Steak Fries, along with the occasional 12 piece nugget from Chick-Fil-A.
And Good Lord in Heaven, I’m not going to lie. Those Steak Fries were delicious.
Over the weekend I should have written a post that was dripping with “Oh my gosh, I’m so awesome because I just ran for 7 miles” type comments. But I didn’t run 7 miles over the weekend. So instead I’m writing this, hoping desperately that my untimely training reprieve doesn’t come back to bite me in the butt next Thursday when I’m running my very first Turkey Trot.
If I can run 6 miles alone, I can surely run 8 miles when motivated by race-day adrenaline and the presence of 50,000ish other runners, right? Right!?
sure, sure. if nothing else matt’s trash talk should be motivation enough. (should i say, trying to make sense of the nonsense that he considers trash talk will distract you from the fact that you chose to run a beastly 8 miles instead of taking a relaxing 3 mile stroll with the girls. i’m just sayin…) you’ll do awesome!! loves.
You can run with me. I’ve been slacking off BIG TIME lately due to recurring back problems. We can keep each other company while Zack goes for the gold.
me too. last night i went to the gym and did intervals on the treadmill for a whole 45 mins! without a hair tie! it felt so good. i’m back on track, too. we can do this!
You can totally do it! It’s for fun, so don’t worry…just go with the flow!
I can relate to where you’re at though…I’ve been out of my exercise routine for a few weeks now. My butt is protesting the sitting position as we speak, and my legs tell me they want to run 5 miles tonight. My lungs may say otherwise, if I try…but you get the point.
Sure!!! that’s doable!!!!
I’m running the half marathon in December and my diet.. isn’t so great… Taking a week off won’t kill ya!!!
Besides…. there’s nothing to it but to do it
You work out more than most people I know so you deserve a break. I can’t think of a better way than with Chick-Fil-A though.
