The Running Bug
Some of you may know that I have begun a new challenge in life (thanks to my sis!). It's the 21 day running challenge and I am coupling it with the 6 week 200 sit up challenge too. Sep was telling me about this blog she read where the girl wanted to become a runner so she decided that she would run for 21 straight days! I have really been wanting to get back into running but I just couldn't get motivated-but this challenge solved that problem! I am to the point where it's just something that I HAVE to do first thing every single morning- it's like there is no other option in my mind. I am on day 14 and loving every minute of it. Well, almost every minute....
Today as I was making my way home I had a rather annoying encounter with a fly. This fly continued to circle around my head for about a mile! He would bang himself into my forehead and then the next time around he's act like he was going to fly straight into my mouth. All of my desperate attempts to shoo the fly failed. I tried the one handed swatting motion, then I used to other hand, I sped up in order to "out run" him, and lastly I tried the two handed flailing motion. I just wanted him to go away so that I could enjoy my run. I got so annoyed and mad that I almost started to cry. Can you picture it-me running arms flailing about to cry!! Finally, I saw a woman power walking towards me. I thought, Maybe he'll sense her when I run by and I can dish him off on her! Kind of like passing the baton in a relay race! Don't know if he flew to her and ruined her power walk session, but I do know that he wasn't bothering me after I passed her. So, my last mile was quite enjoyable....
1 love notes:
this story is hysterical. i can't believe all of the thoughts you had about that fly...about what the fly's motives here, about passing it off to the other runner...
you are SO funny! good job with the running. wish i could say i was taking that blogger's advice. the fitness classes 3x a week are enough for me though. GREAT JOB!
