Me and My Big Mouth...and Thighs!

Posted by Stacy

I put on my shoes!! Yes, a miracle!  But that's what happens when you open your big fat mouth, which was my plan exactly.  I haven't run since the Clinton Days Fun Run with Steph.  Tons of excuses, from wedding planning to I'm home with the swine flu.  Anything real or imagined to keep me home on the couch watching The Office re-runs.

Something drastic had to be done if I was gonna get running again.   So I called up everyone I know and talked them into doing a race with me, knowing perfectly well I wouldn't be able to finish said race unless I got moving...which, frankly, still didn't motivate me.

Meanwhile Steph keeps texting me that she's running everyday!  And yesterday, Wendy sent me this message via e-mail:

"I actually ran 3.5 miles today and didn't die (yet).

I haven't run this far...ever!"

So I got off my rear today, put my shoes on, and ran!!  Looks like my evil and painful master plan of getting humiliated and peer-pressured into running is actually working!
