It was pretty hard, but not as hard as I had thought it up to be. Hard enough to get results, but not so hard that you dread doing it. Cool! Hopefully running will be the same way.
I am still holding myself back a bit on the running. Yes, I did go out and purchase running shoes, so that the excuse of my shoes being in storage was no longer an issue, but I still don't feel ready to take the plunge.
What is holding me back??
My internal monologue has been coming up with the following hesitations:
-I don't really have a good place to run. I live on a busy street that I would rather not run on, or perhaps I am just saying that because I am intimidated. I will ask my runner friends tonight.
-I don't have enough time to "train" before the Ragnar race in April. Again, probably just saying that out of intimidation, but it is a bit more pressure when you have a whole team counting on you to be up to the challenge. I am going to try anyway, better to fail a little than to not try at all.
-I don't know when to run. I would rather not run at night because there aren't a whole lot of sidewalks out there and I would prefer not get run over. I don't want to run in the morning because I can use all the sleep I can get and I feel like I get up early enough to get to work by 7:00 am. I could run during the day, but I need someone to watch Riley for me. I think I will work on finding someone to watch him for an hour a few days a week.
I don't know why running outside is so intimidating for me. In a few weeks when I am getting out there on a regular basis I will probably look back on this and laugh at how silly it is.
RAGNAR, HERE I COME!!
Now I didn't end up going to the Farmer's Market last night, so dinner consisted of Salmon w/ my favorite Paprika Rub and roasted red potatoes. It was tasty, but not very inventive. Tonight we are going to be making pizzas at our Mutual activity. It is our last one before they split our ward this Sunday. Sad, but I'm sure we are going to have a rockin' party!! Pizza, Rock Band, fun friends. Who could ask for anything more?
Our big activity for this weekend is probably going to be seeing our friend's band play. Todd is in an Elvis tribute band called Graceland. They are playing this Friday with a Johnny Cash tribute band called Cash'd Out at the Casbah in downtown San Diego. Should be Fantastic!!
