You’re amazed, aren’t you?
Category: Baby Steps |

After SIX WEEKS of not going to the gym? I went tonight. And guess what? I ran THREE FREAKIN’ MILES. You’re impressed, aren’t you? I can tell you are, and if you aren’t? Then what is wrong with you? BE IMPRESSED DAMMIT.

Anyway. I feel so good. I had to really dig deep to make it the three miles because I did not want to finish at all. But, if I’m going to run that 5K next month, I need to get my ass ready. After my three miles I swam with LilZ for awhile. We spent the entire time making fun of the surly teens hanging out in the hot tub. I told LilZ I was going to go over there and say, “Get out of here, kids. Grandma needs to soak a bit.” I think he thought I was going to really do it because this look of utter TERROR took over his face like, “It’s all fun and games until someone gets humiliated by their embarrassing mother.”

Don’t worry, kid. I’m saving all of my embarrassing moves for your first girlfriend.

    I’m impressed!

  3. RockStar Mommy Says:

    I gotta get my lazy ass back on the treadmill. Then maybe I’d actually have a right to complain about things jiggling.

    Poor LiLZ… he is such a cute kid, I can’t imagine you embarrassing him. Ok, yes I can. But the one I think who will be worried is NikkiZ; you have some serious crinkle nose pictures for her future husband to see. That would make a guy realize quick HIGH MAINTENANCE. (just kidding)

    haha. I”m impressed. :) I took a walk last night (MAYBE a mile, MAYBE) for the first time in a while, and I thought I was going to DIE part way through. i just kept going though, and I felt much better. :)

    HA HA! My daughter bought me a fridge magnet today that says ” I was put on this planet to embarrass my tennagers in front of their friends” It is one of lifes greatest joys.

    3 miles? I am VERY impressed! If I wasn’t so lazy I might follow your lead and get back into my regular workout routine. Maybe next week…

  8. Dad Gone Mad Says:

    Three miles?! I get tired DRIVING that far. That shit ain’t right, Zootley.

  9. Maria Says:

    I’m impressed. I’m tired just thinking about walking that distance.

  10. Jessie Says:

    I am totally impressed. I can’t run for crap, but I can do a mean step class. I don’t know if that counts the same though.

  11. CPA Mom Says:

    3 Miles? WOWSA!!! Makes my 2 miles pale by comparison. That will be my new goal. Maybe then I’ll be as cool as Miss Zoot?! BAHAHAHAHA like that will ever happen.

    Seriously, great job!

  12. Nienuh Says:

    3 miles is almost 5 k? That means your going to make it! Without practice! Woohoo, you rule!

    I am amazed. I have been off and on in my workouts and I need a new way to get myself geared up. I used to mark on my fridge calendar a big black “X” when I worked out and then every time I passed it I felt good about all the black “x”’s on there, and now I could care less. So some motivation is needed over here…
