Apparently I'm not that "type of person"

So last night I almost ran over this man who was, from first glance, dead in the middle of the road. I immediately started to freak out. I didn't, however, get out of the car to check his vitals...I stayed right were I was and actually pulled into a parking lot while I called, not 9-1-1, but the area police department.

They assumed he was passed out, not dead, and transferred me to the ambulance unit. After about two minutes of talking to these different people the man showed signs of life...lifted his head and then curled into the fetal position. Still comfortably in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

I used to think I may be the "type of person" who would run-out-of-the-car-and-immediately-check-to-make-sure-the-person-who-was-lying-in-the-middle-of-the-road.

Apparently I'm not that "type of person."

Day 4; Day 3 Running

Day 4 since I started, third day of running. Still in pain. Still can't breathe. I think I made it farther running--did less walking...but this pain is kinda ridiculous.

I know exercising isn't supposed to be easy, but so far this sucks.


21 Days to Break a Habit. 17 days till I'm used to getting up and doing it.

Breaking the Addiction Day 3

So I didn't post the first two days, but I figured I'd go ahead and update anyone out there who cared on what I'm trying to do...

I'm breaking my addiction with laziness--trying this running thing again. Hopefully I can keep it up, but my body is in a lot of pain now.

I ran Wednesday and Thursday and took a break today because my legs are in A LOT of pain and it's hard to walk at work. I'm going to try to run again tomorrow--same distance as before (I think it's about a mile but I haven't measured it). I can't believe how awful I feel, but I hope it gets better over the next couple of weeks. I want to get to the point where I can run this route and not stop to walk; I also want to be able to run every day without feeling horrible. Once I can do that I will lengthen my distance.

I hope to be able to run a half marathon (at least) by this time next year. I also hope that I can keep running even when it gets "too hot" or "too cold".

We'll see!
