Need a laugh?
I start my jogging program tonight...this is sure to be amusing. I'm going to try this plan for now - it seems to be the most "doable" of the ones I've seen out there. Billy is my running buddy. He's been running a lot since he started Fire Academy, and when I mentioned I might possibly could sorta maybe be interested in running, he decided it sounded like a good idea. Heh. I think he wants someone to actually run with him, as opposed to what I've been doing...walking while he runs.

As a testament to how pathetically my body is wired, I've had a nervous stomach all day. The two cups of coffee this morning probably didn't help...anyway, I ate about 2/3 of my lunch today, and couldn't bear the thought of eating any more. There was a Cadbury Egg on my keyboard at work today, with a post-it note that says "EAT ME" (my pal Frank did that for me)...I was horrified at the thought of eating it and what it would do to my insides if I ran. Stupid? Yes. Unfortunately, it's very typical of my train of thought.

So, here I am, staring at the salmon we'll be eating shortly, and worried about how this is going to turn out. Do I have a stopwatch? How the hell am I going to know when I've run 60 seconds? How will I know when my 90 second walk is over? How will I know 20 minutes has passed? How will I remember how many laps I've managed to do? I'm a MUSIC major, not a math major! How will I get home from the park if my legs turn to rubber? How hard will the people in the park laugh at me when I fall on my face? What if I throw up my delicious salmon dinner? ...sigh...

    Oooh, that sounds like a great program. I'll do it with you (long distance, of course!) and blog my adventures as well. BTW, how nice of Frank to leave you a present.

    Heh-heh...my spam-preventy-thingy says, "scyxfjlp" which I read as "sexyflip". :)
