I Ran... or at least I tried.

Today was an absolutely GORGEOUS day here in Indiana -it was in the 60's!  Because I had the evening off and it was so nice out, I decided that TODAY WAS THE DAY.  I came home, put on my new workout clothes, found headphones and my new iPhone armband, and headed to the Greenway.  I'm not going to lie, I was super intimidated.  I haven't run since High School gym class, and I knew it wasn't going to be pretty--but I am determined to prove to myself that I can be disciplined.  I'm doing C25K and found a great app that lets me listen to my own music while breaking in to tell me when the walk or run intervals start.  What I really liked was that it told me when I was halfway done-so I knew when to turn around.  

Music ready to go, i.d. and car keys in my pocket. I started.  The program starts off with a 5 minute warm up walk which was nice to get me loose.  Then, I ran.  The first couple of seconds wasn't bad and I was thinking, "Yeah, I can do this, I got this"  And then I realized that my jiggling around while jogging was causing my pants to fall down (I have ZERO butt, and my pants fall down on a pretty regular basis).  So I end up looking like a "thug", running while holding my pants up.   Needless to say, it wasn't pretty--but I kept at it!  

About halfway through the workout, a guy runner comes up behind me and as he is passing me, holds out my driver's license---OOPS!! Apparently all the jiggling caused that to come out too-but thankfully I still had my  car keys.  Thank you kind stranger for helping me out!! I powered through, walked more than I was supposed to, but I finished.  Day 1, complete.  

Some of my main thoughts during my "run" were:

1. Seriously, people do this for fun?
2. I need different pants, this is NOT working....
3. Where's that "high" people talk about?
4. Seriously, why did I set this as one of my goals? 
5. Is it over YET??

On another note, I am having trouble coming up with more things to add to my 25 by 25 list--I've only got 10!  Apparently I need to spend some more focused time thinking about it.  Maybe that's what I'll try to focus on during my next "run".  :)
