Viva La Revolucion

It's incredible how quickly a month goes by isn't it?

Last I left you with the determination to put Dr. Jack in his place. The running professional had given me a run for my money and I was realizing I couldn't keep up. I told all of you how I would start over and show the world a new, stronger me.

Since that last blog, I have done nothing. Yep... nothing, nada, ziltch. I'd like to say I feel bad about it, but the truth is...I don't.

I heard from several of you that my incessant complaining actually inspires you to get to the gym or hit the road and without my droning on about pain and suffering, you actually loose your own resolve. I realize it was selfish to stay quite for this past month, please accept my apology.

And...let the complaining commence!

So just what the hell did happen to me? I intended to run, I scheduled it...then slept through alarms and sipped coffee while looking at my running shoes. I did do some of my favorite weight dvds, but that was less about training and more about making my butt look good in my Maid of Honor dress.  You see, my friend was getting married in Los Angeles and being Maid of Honor, I needed to make sure I looked good!

I gladly agreed to spend the 2 weeks leading up to my friend's wedding with her in LA. I pictured these 2 weeks full of early morning spin classes and running on the beach. I imagined biking on the strand and taking advantage of the incredible number of exercise classes offered at the LA gyms. I accomplished none of that.

I did dress in running clothes one day and proceed to run wedding errands all day in my running clothes...then decide it was drinking time. What? I didn't say I'd stopped drinking!

Needless to say, I did plenty of "Fueling" and absolutely no running. I returned home and continued my lazy, quite revolt against training. I have decided I have a hormone imbalance. Surely THAT is why I am unable to will myself onto the road right?

For those of you looking for inspiration, hang in there, I feel with a bit more "Fueling" I will get back on track and have plenty to complain about!
