Since starting running in December, this week has been the
week that I have hated the most. I’m not trying to be a Debby Downer, I was
just extremely unprepared for how much time each workout would entail. But I
guess I’ll get used to it! :D
Well, spring has sprung! And with it, so have all the bugs.
The 1-minute “breaks” between runs turned out to be a chance for mosquitos,
gnats, and flies to take over my face and show me their newly-metamorphosed
bodies. I wasn’t that thrilled with them. That means I’m going to have to start
lathering in vanilla before runs from now on! (Really, vanilla works better
than any bug spray! Just put some on a cotton ball and cover your face, arms,
and legs with a thin layer! As a bonus, you’ll smell really good while you wear
it!)
The worst part of running for longer times isn’t the time,
the distance, or the energy that I spend. In fact, I just get plain bored while
on the route. I listen to music, but find that I get bored of hearing the same
songs. Maybe I just need to come up with some stories to keep going in my head!
Then I can write them and become a best-selling author and be rich! Yeah…
I can look forward to next week and see that each day
consists of three 15-minute runs with breaks of 1 minute between each one.
Maybe running three runs instead of four will be of some help to relieve the
boredom!
So don’t be a Debby Downer! Instead, be a Positive Polly!
After all, she’s much more fun to hang around; it’s because she knows that her
journey, no matter how large it may be, all starts with 1 step!
