Another Day Down

This morning I woke up just fabulously hungry and really looking forward to breakfast. I was getting ready to take the dogs out and get something to eat when Kit came home, he had left his security id at home and was not able to get up to his office. So the first thing that came into my mind was yummmmmmm breakfast out, maybe a biscuit or hash browns ( notice all the carbs ). Then I thought wait a minute you can't eat that kind of stuff silly Jess ( Oh and Kit told me that he had Hardee's for breakfast already). So on to my turkey sausage and cucumber slices ( I ran out of eggs last night ).

There is this theory out there that all runners are stick thin. So I am trying to turn myself into a runner (so I can be stick thin ... good logic right?!?). This is a hard process not to be taken lightly ( as I have read on the runner's website). You have to take into consideration that I use to be the kid in middle school that would get a band pass (or any excuse) not to go to gym class ( needless to say I was a chubby kid... cute but round). But anyway, I am on this new mission and it's actually not too bad so far. Today is the 4th day that I am on this new program, and if you follow it correctly by the end of the 9th week you will be able to run a 5k with no problems. I have to say the actual running part is not fun at all and if there isn't a wonderful TV( turn to either The View or something on Food TV) in front of me, I don't think I would be running/walking (or anything) for 30 min.. But there is this reward at the end of the workout that is just fabulous. I call it the afterglow. This is the feeling of just absolutely wonderfulness ( is that a word? ). When everything just seem so clear and you feel like you are just floating for about 20 to 30 min. I guess real runners would call it runner's high and I do have to say that I highly recommend anyone to start running just for this feeling ( is it better then sex... maybe/maybe not ).
