How many miles is it?
Slightly over 4.
Wow- I could never do that.
I’m a people watcher, listener, observer… Creeper? Ok, maybe not a creeper- but I do take it all in. How else am I going to pass the time on a run? Listen to music for 40 minutes? Psssshhhhh.
I’m sure I’ve had that exact conversation in my life- whenever anyone even mentioned running in my presence I would scoff as though they were telling me about quantum physics (which I do not understand- just to be clear…)
Because I’ve been so out of touch in the blogosphere, I should be real with you all about my running. I’m still doing it! Woo! John is too! Double woo! And can I tell you guys… He has lost nearly 40lbs… Yes, that’s right… 4-0 el bees. I can’t say the same for myself but my running journey was never correlated directly with weight loss. If it happened, cool, if not… Hey why is he losing all of this weight and I’m not?! I kid (somewhat…) my running dreams were geared towards pushing myself and find something to be proud of. And I have done that- mission accomplished on both of our ends.
What I’m trying to say is running is the shit. A curse felt right there.
On the other hand- now that I’ve done a few races, I’ve gotten lazier. I have not been on missions to train. I have definitely not gotten my ass up early or off the couch late to go to the gym. Quite frankly, I’m doing baby runs as I call them- 2-3 milers. And last year I would have called that an awe-inspiring super human task but these days I call it being blasé.
Today I needed a change of pace- I am bored!
3.5 miles
Ran half straight
Other half sprinted at every beach entrance followed by 20 standing push-ups on the railing with 20 sit-ups.
52 miles per month- I set my intention, a goal, something to work towards. What’s a goal if it’s something that takes no effort? At the end of the day did I work for it? I’m going to have to set some new intentions- or what am I doing here?
How do you beat workout boredom?
52 Miles per Month 
Wow, congrats to John – that’s awesome! I get bored so easy it’s not even funny, so I understand. I try to mix things up, but even then I only use so many options, so I really don’t have a good solution for you. I think throwing in the push-ups during your run was a great idea!
Yay for John! That’s amazing. I still can’t run, but I love reading about you doing it!
Ugh- yes, 40 lbs… And I’m over here like, more ice cream!
As for running- You can, I promise 🙂 practice makes perfect!!!! And I mean a lot of practice!
