Last night I accidentally inhaled some toothpaste while brushing my teeth and I thought I was going to die right there, crouched over my sink. From choking on toothpaste.
Today was GORGEOUS.
Been trying to get some sort of physical activity in every day or every other day, which is usually a brisk walk. Even though I'm constantly moving at work, it helps to clear my head, get my blood flowing in a non-stressful way, and helps me sleep better at night. Also, I've noticed I'm less puffy and I haven't experienced any weight fluctuations like I do every few months.
I'm getting rather bored with my walking routine. I get bored with all my workout routines, really. So I decided to try running. No particular goal, just want to do something different.
I need to start bringing a timer when I attempt to run. Because it's all up to perspective as far as how far/ how long I run. It might feel like a long time, when in reality it was more like a minute. I need some point of reference, especially if I want to improve. Striving for an extra 20 seconds every day might make me less bored.
I've discovered that
1. I can run for longer than I thought; when I feel like stopping, I just don't. And then I keep going and *surprise* I don't die. And when I say 'for longer than I thought,' I mean a total of a couple of minutes, tops. The idea of running for 5 minutes straight is still not doable. You gotta start somewhere.
2. I need to learn how to breathe correctly when running. Will probably help with the longevity issue.
OMG i am so proud! i am glad you didnt die from the toothpaste...what doesnt kill you only makes your stronger...and teeth whiter!
ReplyDeleteas for running, im impressed!!! you are able to put aside that "oh im dying" thought aside and run for a little bit longer and thats awesome!!!
breathing will naturally catch up with you as you do more running!
