Running

So, I’ve taken up running again.  Whether it be the fact that I was getting a bit chubbier than I would like, the fact that I love to eat some ridiculously delicious bad for you foods, or that it’s the cool thing to do, I’m doing it. 

I think working out is a new fad, though with the condition of our health and weight these days, I’m glad to be apart of this fad.

Typically I don’t choose to be trendy, do the cool thing or follow fads, but this is one fad I’m jumping on the bandwagon for.

Back in high school, I ran track, did volleyball and gymnastics.  All of that exercise made me looking quite fit and I felt great.  Fast-forward about 10-12 years, take out most of the exercise and it aint so pretty my friends.

We still play volleyball, but I don’t call 6 fairly out of shape 20-something year olds running around a volleyball court for 45 minutes a great deal of exercise.

So, I’m back at it.  Monday I ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill and Tuesday I ran 3 miles.  As I’m running at the rec center, I’m watching one of the 4 tv monitors they have , while listening to my ipod.  It got me thinking “Gosh, It’d be great if I could watch tv AND listen to what they were saying”.  Low and behold, there’s a little black box that has channel numbers on it, attached to EVERY machine.  I was wondering why people plugged their headphones into them…

DUH Kayla….. So, as I’m running the latter part of my 2.5 miles, I plugged into the “little black box” and was able to have my choice to watch Fox News and The Biggest Loser, among other things.

Sometimes I surprise myself. :-)

Hope you’re having a wonderful Thursday!
