This past weekend I went to the new track that the school built and did a few laps. I'm not a fan of tracks..the laps bore me and seem really daunting to me. Maybe it's because I was scarred in elementary/middle school when we had to run the mile as part of the fitness tests they did every year. I was always one of the last ones to finish because I walked the majority of the 4 laps around the track. Being a chubby/fat kid didn't help the situation. Looking back, it's crazy how much I hated running and any form of exercise and it's the exact opposite today. I'm thankful for the lifestyle change that I made.
Anyway..It was a decent day weather-wise, little too windy for my liking (but when isn't it in SD!) but the sun was shining so it was good. So I did a few laps, then ran up and down the bleacher stairs with my 4yr old and then did a few more laps. All in all, it ended up being a 3.50 mile walk/run...along with a little sunburn. Oops. I guess I didn't realize how long I was out there. Nonetheless, it was a good time.
The funniest part was when I was getting ready to go back home I noticed my watch showed 3.19 miles...and stuff like that totally bothers me. So, I did what I used to do..I walked around until my watch read 3.25 miles (I walked .25 miles while my watch was "searching" for a satellite signal..in case you were wondering how I got to the 3.50 miles total)..I used to do that all the time whenever I would be outside running or walking. My husband started singing the Eminem song, "Guess who's back, back again..JLem's back.." It made me laugh and it made me feel good knowing that without realizing it I went back to a silly habit of mine. Insert BIG smile here.
It was a good Saturday...and I'm getting back to my old self, slowly but surely.
