Shut up & Run…can I get an AMEN? April 18 2007
So I shut up & ran.
It was hard. And F-ing hilly as this part of the country tends to be.
But it was good. And my legs are like jelly.
I did 5k in about 43 minutes, not stellar…but it’s done. And i feel pretty damned good about it.
Of course half way through my run and up my 2nd hill I started to feel really depleted and I thought WTF? I mean I know I’m out of shape but COME ON.
And then I realized. Yeah.
It was 12:45 and I hadn’t eaten a bite all day.
Tea? Sure.
Water? yup.
Food? NO.
Why? Because my mother called and invited Noah over for lunch today. Which was her famous (and famously UNhealthy) newfie fish cakes. These things have made me actually vomit when i was pregnant JUSt from being in the same room and them while they were being prepared.
So obviously I was not going to eat a fish cake…pre-run.
Anyway…I was a hungry hungry hippo.
But I finished it anyway.
AWESOME!!!!!!
And send some of those fish cakes down here. Yum.
YOU shut up? WOW
Fish cakes? Just the name sounds gross. Like pasture patty. Eeewwww.
But nice job on running.
yep, i wouldn’t eat fishcakes before a run or probably not anytime either.
Yay!! on completing a 5k.
Feels so good when you’re done, doesn’t it? Makes you want to go run another I bet.
You’ve done well! Pasture patties? What is he thinging?
Wait a minute!!! What’s wrong tiwh 5k in 43 minutes, for me that is stellar…lol.
