i am not a jogger

last night i was less than enthusiastic about doing any type of working out especially cause i missed set class and didn't swim. i heard katie b's head in my voice about needing to get some sort of something in and cb's quote on his blog "Words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises but only performance is reality." by michael phelps. so i begrudgingly put on my run stuff and set off to be kind to my knees while pounding out some mileage. i was beyond bored on the treadmill for the first 40 mins (cause some jackoff decided to watch baseball while working out - WHO does that?!?!!!). i paused for a min or two to change the boringness to CSI which i am addicted to. i stretched for a brief moment and got going again. the next 40 mins flew by and i felt good. really good! the first 40 got rid of the soreness from AFC so the second 40 was my time to shine. there was sacrifice and there were descending splits so no, i am not a jogger!! i do have to admit that i got some inspiration from a quote i read on sunday: "if you ran without sacrifice, congratulations you just jogged". turns out i passed along the inspiration to melissa who also ran last night because of another quote that is now my wallpaper: "no one has ever felt a jogger's high". it's funny where we can find our inspiration!! mine just happened to come from a pearl izumi ad :0) well, whatever motivates you, get out there and RUN even if you think you don't want to......
