The Plan and The Man

In my first post, I mentioned my best friend Shanna, and how she is a long-time runner addict, and how she helps others become runner addicts, too. So it was natural, since we’re besties and all, that I would turn to her first for advice. And this is what she sent me:

This is the first thing I read; Beginner Running

This is the actual plan I’ll be following; Running 101

This is the reading I did on shoes; The Newbie Chronicles

This is how to tie your shoes; Fit To Be Tied 

All important stuff. One of the reasons I love that girl is that she never does anything halfway. She is a master at research, my own personal Google. I think that’s awesome.

So, it looks like Saturday, instead of Monday, will actually be The Day. This morning whilst driving that husband of mine, The Man, to work, he says “Are you going to run/walk with me this Saturday morning?” to which I reply, “Wait, you wanna do The Plan?” and he says, “What exactly does it entail?” and I say “Blah blah blah” and he replies, “Yeah, I’ll do that with you.”

Cool! Of course, he can only do it on the weekends, because of his work schedule, but hey! There’s that, right?

I was thinking, only considering, mind you, of buying a new scale since I threw the old one away. The old one worked perfectly fine… a little TOO fine, which is why I tossed it (let me interject here by saying that I sent the damn thing to the thrift store- I didn’t actually throw it away- it just sounds way more dramatic to say I tossed it). I have no idea how much I actually weigh, and that might be something I might want to find out. If for no other reason than accuracy when I renew my driver’s license this year… you know, strictly for honesty’s sake and all that.

We’ll see.

Peace.
