Of course, the day registration opens for the Chicago marathon, I wake up with a raging cold that comes with earaches and a sore throat. But, I got out of bed anyway, at 5:45 am, to run. I only ran for 8 minutes. I walked for 23 minutes. Now, I am feeling a bit skeptical about registering today. On one hand, if I register, I have to pay $150 and I am not one to pay for something and not use it. I hate letting food go to waste and I use coupons regularly. On the other hand, I will be really mad at myself if I don't make it or if I can't physically run 26.2 miles. I am hoping others feel like this when they sign up for a marathon.
In other news, the past two days have been littered with wardrobe malfunctions. Yesterday, I wore a new sports bra, one very similar to my current favorite sports bra. Somehow, it does not provide enough support, even though it is the same model, brand, and size as my favorite. Maybe it is the color of the bra. The same thing happened today, but with a different bra I just bought and decided to try out. And then there is my pants. I love this pair of yoga pants I have that has pockets. The pockets make a great place for me to stow my mp3 player and my insulin pump. However, I got on the treadmill yesterday and started my jog, only to realize that my favorite pants were too big. They slipped down pretty quickly, necessitating me to yank them up every 30 seconds. Now, this can be looked at two different ways: 1) Yah! My pants are too big! 2) Crap, I have to buy new pants, not just one pair but several because they all fit the same way.
Can you tell I am grumpy?
New Pants! Yea! I love that feeling...granted it's not fun having to shop or spend the money, however it's a clean indicator that your hardwork is paying off! You will probably be buying smaller bras too! PS...I think I'm now using your blog to motivate myslef...I have been slacking! It's time to do the 6am runs...grrr
