training::day one::epic fail

I had psyched myself up to start training today. I was going to run 2 miles. If you read my last post, you know that 2 miles is double what I can comfortably run.

David was feeding the baby breakfast.

I put on my running shoes and my ratty running clothes. (Seriously, I think my sports bra is from my college days.)

I discovered that my ipod wasn't charged. No worries. I plugged in my mac and pulled up my "run" playlist.

I made it 1 minute and 53 seconds into my run before the belt on the treadmill broke.

I can't run outside because it's only 8 AM and already 1 gazillion degrees.

Day one: epic fail.

*Updated: I put the baby down for a nap and discovered it wasn't THAT hot out yet. I walked one lap around my neighborhood. Not great, but something!*

It's not an EPIC fail because you got ready and you did what you could! I'd say it was more of a malfunction... :)

But you made the effort and went towards the goal! And Lauren's right, it's totally not an epic fail.

I need to get me one of those treadmill things, because a gazillion degrees is CORRECT.

Oh honey. I'm in solidarity with you.

I went for a run and a chihuahua chased me. Then I got caught in a downpour but at least the chihuahua gave up and sought shelter. My neighbor kids are still laughing about it.
