Beth Runs!

After sitting on my butt all winter, knitting and watching Craig Ferguson into the wee hours, it's time to get up, get out, and move!!!

Shake it like a Polaroid picture!

Do you think the kids nowadays even know what a Polaroid is?

Oh, by the way, I RAN TODAY! Outkast was playing in my headphones and the sun was beating on my back and my feet were pounding the rhythm and my heartrate was going mad crazy. After 7 weeks of recuperation, which were supposed to be 4 weeks max, I finally got my ass into some running shorts and just did it.

I was afraid. Afraid that it would be really hard after taking so much time off to start up again. And worried that with each day I put off running, it would just get harder and harder to do it.

So yeah, it was kinda hard. But not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I set my watch for 20 minutes, and I ended up doing 2 miles in 20:43. Could have been way worse.

Now, I have 1 month to train for the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon. Ha! This will be interesting.
