Today I RAN. By choice. AFTER leaving the gym.

Granted it WAS raining...down pouring. Lightening. Thunder. The full nine. But still. When I finished my work out I was telling myself "just be calm. dont run like a crazy white girl through the parking lot...everyone can see you." After stepping outside and the freezing air and rain hitting me I said screw what anyone thinks. Ill run my fat *kitten* through this parking lot like the idiot that I am for parking at the VEEEEERRRRRRRRRY back because "the extra walking will be good for me".

Ha ha. a few months ago I wouldnt care what kind of weather it was. Id walk just to avoid the embarrassment of what people "might" think. Not the most awesome success thats been posted but its pretty cool for me ;-)

    Thank you for the smile!

    I'm sitting here trying to remember the last time I ran anywhere ... and I can't. One day though, I'll run again. Boobs flying everywhere, thighs jiggling, although hopefully not too much. I won't care. It will be glorious.
