still at it……
well…hum….ive been busy! okay no excuse not to update but ive been……..sulking to put it bluntly! lol. have left the gym for a while ( for the summer anyways …… called cutting off my nose inspite of my face! love the crack and the people but found myself getting……..distracted! the whole ????? issue ) running is going well and have caught the sun ( for today anyway ) managing about 7 miles in about 30mins. not going for time or anything just conditioning so am happy with that. looking to just be able to run without feeling like im actually making that much effort!!! instead of cherry red and gasping for breath!! ( exaggeration!! LOL ). still weight training and its kinda dropped off. well lighter weights higher reps as im now training my son. hell hes caught the bug! sos my girl ( she comes and does my cardio with me….. when i go running its like a scene from "ROCKY" HAHAHA.
somethings to improve my motivation and give a laugh to anyone whoever reads my ramblings and rantings!!
running a week ago and as i was on the last mile or so stretch….coming up to a pub…. see a guy come out and go to get his bike. he sees me and suddenly goes running back in the pub. recognise him from the gym!( hes okay..mostly …) am keeping my focus/running, then notice three of the guys from the gym all come running out of the pub to watch!! very funny but stop and chat…yes they admitted to wanting to watch me run. never ran in the gym (with good reason it seems!!! ) when i went to continue quickly sprinted across the road and round the corner,so they couldnt watch my ass. now seem to be seeing loads of people while im out. usually with the same reaction…SHOCK!! LOL ok i can see the funny side and yes its kinda been good for my ego. though part of the reason im resting from the gym is the whole "butt issue". as nice as it is to know its appreciated and the effort is noticed. takes some getting use to to know that its been so widely discussed and believe me i know in all the directions its been discussed!!! ( MEN LOVE TO GOSSIP AND IMPART INFORMATION!! THEY REALLY ARE AS BAD AS WOMEN!!)
women from work have seen me running and made comments about my outfit ( you really can only run in lycra….jogging bottoms just dont work! ). when it gets warmer am planning on shorts, that will scare the crap outta them lol.
but when i do see guys from the gym ( and a couple of women ) am asked where ive been and told that i should just go back and front it out!! need to be happier with myself before that. i dont know……somehow doing something that makes you uncomfortable and embarrassed ( like running round a some town …and it is small. where people looooovvvvvvveeee to gossip is possibly better). your not in an enclosed space, you cant always hear them above your ipod and the traffic, and with sunglasses on you cant always see them either. hopefully ill learn not to care what ANYONE says! gossipping with guys (and women ) will always be…… cant change a man just accept what he is………
ohhhh thats a thought for the rest of my problems..hhhhhhmmmmmm hahaha
