On the Road Again

This weekend I bent the rules of reality.
I worked out on Saturday
AND
Sunday!!

Shocking, I know.

But it doesn't stop there.  Oh no, the amazement continues.
I RAN both days!!

Stop doubting!  I really did it!
I don't blame you for your utter disbelief.  I can hardly believe it myself.
But I did it.

The guy on the treadmill next to mine couldn't seem to believe it either.
I was starting out on my 5 minute warm-up, listening to a Couch to 5K podcast when he showed up on the treadmill next to me.  He gave me the look.  You know what I'm talking about...the I'm-going-to-work-out-next-to-this-fat-chick-so-I-can-look-awesome-and-fit look.

You should have seen his face when I started jogging along right next to him.
I could read his face.  It said, "Dang!  Fat Girl can run!!"

Oh yeah.
Boo-yah.
Look at that blubber fly!
So I can run, bub.  For all of 60 seconds before I needed a 90 second break to take a breather.

But I kept it up, and I ran for 60 seconds eight different times.
And each time I ran, I chanted in my head, "Go fat girl!  Go fat girl!  Go!"

In your face, treadmill boy!
