Run fat girl run

So you know how they say smoking is bad for your health?

The night before last I was standing outside my house having a cigarette when my neighbour jogged past. She paused for breath and said " I suppose you are going to laugh at me now?"

(I admit, for one second the thought had crossed my mind)

But then I had a small out of body experience. (The experience was small, not my body) I floated out of my body and could only watch as the fat bird with a fag in her hand replied.......

"Fancy some company on your run tomorrow"

I won't lie, the floaty me was screaming, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!

While the fat me was thinking. "Ooooooh this might be fun"

(The fat me is also the one that says more cake? So we tend to usually listen to that one more)

Which is why at 8pm last night I found myself cracking out THESE.

Now I've had these for a year and they have not been out of the box once.

Until last night.........

I also managed to do a shit load of stretching while wrestling with my sports bra (An evil necessity to save knocking myself out with my own chesticles)


Now don't get me wrong, I didn't do a marathon (or snickers, whatever they are called now) but I did go round the block twice. Which I think is a great start. I walked a bit, I ran a bit. I didn't stop halfway round for a cigarette, (apparently that is frowned upon, who knew?) I nodded at other joggers as we went past as if we were all in some secret club together.

and I bloody loved it.

I did.

I'm going to be doing it again tonight. and tomorrow, and the day after that, until we can run the two blocks without stopping and then we will build up more and more making it longer and longer.

I've been bitten by the bug.

SEE?

Smoking is bad for you. it can sometimes lead to increased exercise, a decreased waistline and shortness of breath from jogging for a couple of miles!!!!!

And my boobs do look quite good in a sports bra

No your eyes do not deceive you, I am also wearing running leggings!!!!

WHAT!!!! They make my bum look great (ok, not yet......... but they WILL)


What do you think?


Am I insane for taking up running?

Anyone else think that I may die?

Exactly how embarassed do you think my children are that I am running around their neighbourhood in trainers where ANYONE could see me? (Their words, not mine)


Let me know
