Challenges in the challenge
Me and my big mouth. I made the mistake of challenging Wonder Woman to do extra challenges. I don’t know why I thought she would just accept and do them. DUH!! Of course, she had to put a challenge out for me as well. Will I ever learn???
After all that complaining, I actually enjoyed trying to complete my challenge. The deal was, she had to do all these crunches (regular, reverse, w/ a twist, and double) and I had to run a mile. Mind you, I don’t run! I walk about 3.5 to 4 miles with a tad of running thrown in here and there. She challenged me to run a mile non-stop. Yeah right!! Well, I gave it my best effort. And, I admit, even I was surprised!!
I wasn’t able to do a mile without stopping because where I go has some very long steep hills. So, I ran when it was flat or down hill and attempted to go up a few times. I’d have to slow to a brisk walk and then start running again at the top. So, total, I’d say I ran about 1.5 miles and walked the other 2. I’m pretty dern proud of that.
So, never let it be said that fat people can’t run. ‘Cause I just did!! And I can’t wait to do it again!! Though, I doubt it’ll be tomorrow :lol:
I agree that you have a big mouth.
I had to do all those nutty challenges too! But, I can say I’m glad for the push. And I think you did fabulous woman!
P.S. I do believe fat people can run because I was fat (although I hate that word) and I ran and it made me thinner!
.
Now now girls play nicely!!! LOL..
Good job pushing each other further with challenges…thats what its all about!!
For some reason, reading this blog brought back memories of gym class in high school when they made you run the mile. Ugh!! I was smaller then than I am now and still couldn’t run a mile without stopping! But then all the track kids would breeze past you like three times in one lap, and it was sooooo embarrassing. I’ve thought about trying running, but it is still in my mind that “fat girls” shouldn’t run
. But hearing about everyone giving it a try just makes me wonder if maybe I shouldn’t give it a shot!!(On my treadmill of course, because I’m not confident enough to run in public yet!!). You guys are so inspirational.
* Rolling on the floor* You guys are too much!!! I love it!! Way to go to stay motivated!! Wish I coud run, but the best I can do is the pool! I’m getting good at the taebo, though! *wink*
