Training

Just want you to know, I'm so domestic. I'm cradling a giant bowl of homemade guacamole in my lap and stuffing covered chip after chip into my grateful mouth. I love food.
Too much.
That's why it's been my goal year after year after year to run a half marathon. I've been pregnant for pretty much the last 3 years, so that's of kind of gotten in the way of things. But if I want to keep eating like I do, I better get running.

So0o0o0o0o...

I talked to my personal trainer friend and she said she'd give me a 12 week training plan for Beginners. But guess what.
I'm not even a Beginner. I'm like a pre-beginner. I have to start running four miles a day before I can even start the Beginner Training Schedule.

But I'm ready,

because I want to go from this:

To this:

I've been very diligent about doing my pre-workout stretches.

Then I put on my ipod and start to get pumped.

I run, and it feels pretty good. 

I even pump up the speed a few notches. 

I run faster and faster and faster 

and then

I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
My stomach hurts, the room seems to spin, I envision my body flinging off the treadmill, and slamming against the wall behind me.
I start to look like this:

dang, I'm hot.

Then comes my favorite part:

Post workout stretches! 

Do I look lethargic, or what?

I hope I can keep this up.
In the mean time, what are you favorite workout songs? I'm still on a search for the best of the best motivational music. I neeeeeed it.
