Obviously, the running should have started today. But it is roughly one billion degrees outside, and it was going to be in the 80s even early in the morning. A sign of how hot it is: my annoyingly run-happy boyfriend had no interest in running. His direct quote was "screw running, we can go next week." And so, I have decided to put running off until tomorrow (and so the putting off begins...). To be fair, running may not really start until next week since the aforementioned boyfriend and I are at a wedding this weekend. Hello open bar, goodbye running.
So with that in mind, I've decided to post about the things that have inspired me towards this ridiculous running goal. First, I have to mention my best friend M. M. is many things that I am not. Division I college athlete who actually has a national championship ring (seriously, you can't buy those things). Healthy eater. Avid exerciser. And oh yeah, while I am planning on starting law school this summer because a job seemed well...hard, she just moved to Mississippi to do Teach For America. So while I'm studying and drinking heavily to avoid the pain of law school, she will be changing the world. If that isn't inspiration to do something, even if it's just running, then I don't know what is.
The annoying run-happy boyfriend is another one. He runs a lot, and oh yeah, he's in the Army meaning that he too spends his life doing meaningful things aka defending my freedom to eat McDonalds while I do less meaningful things aka still sitting in bed watching Ally McBeal on Netflix and blogging.
Seriously Dawn Dais is snarky which I love, a former couch potato which I love, and she also has a completely awesome website http://dreaminmotion.net/. So basically, I have loads of inspiration, and very little drive to actually act on my inspiration. But it will happen, just you wait--I've started a blog, running will clearly follow.
