Today I went running with Kspin. Running with her makes the world of difference for me. I'm encouraged by her to keep going when I feel like I can't take another step, even if its simply watching the bouncing of her pigtails as she goes. She smiles beside me and tells me to keep my eyes forward, and I do. I don't look at the ground beneath my feet or look for mile markers, I just keep my eyes forward.
Sometimes she is just a little dot on the horizon and sometimes she runs extra slow so I can catch up with her. I like Kspin. Does it matter that all this takes place in my head while I'm running on a treadmill? Perhaps she should get herself a PPO, my behavior is a little stalker-ish. Am I the only weirdo? Are these relationships all becoming a little too real and will Ashlee wake up someday to find I've actually moved into her basement while she slept? How can I say?
In case you're still mulling about whether I'm a total wacko lacking IRL friend and you missed the point of the part above, it was just to say I'm back up and running again. Its been nearly 3 weeks since I last run and wow, it wasn't easy to jump back on that horse. I think that all my muscle disintegrates if I miss running...just turns to goo. But I think that the running helped me a bit on my weight loss this week, down 1.2. I celebrated by gaining it all back in a single meal! Lol. Not really, I stayed within my realms, but I had good food and more Ice cream. I'd been feeling deprived and I needed a nice splurge. But now I'm back doing well and running again.
See you next time.

That would be a surprise, now wouldn't it? :0) We would have some good times, though. I can see it now....
Congrats on the weight loss!
Dude. I was all sorts of confused trying to figure out why I didn't know kspin came to town.
First time commenter...long time lurker ;)
I too am on the weight loss train. It's motivating to see you progressing. I'm proud of you.
Love the name Jane- Welcome!!
Ash, we would have so much fun!
HB, I wish Kspin visited!
Careful what you wish for...I just might come wake you up at 5am for a fun 6 miler sometime! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only stalker/dreamer/self-motivator out there! Keep it up! You'll be the one getting me back on track soon!
...and thanks! I really needed this today. :-)
I am glad kspin doesn't know where I live. I doubt I could walk 6 miles, much less run it. Good for you for running again Sassy. I need to get my rear in gear.
