Frustrated & Floppy Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I finally managed to wrangle myself into the largest sports bra that I could find in New England, put on a knee brace and bit the bullet. I drove to our local track and that's when the downpour started. I have fine fantasies about being a runner. In real life, though, I'm not truly enthusiastic about it. There is a sign above my desk at work that says "I don't run. If I'm running, you need to run too, because something is chasing me." I was trying to beat the rain, but no luck. What do you do when it rains? Run anyway? I'm sitting in my car hoping for a break in the weather. There is a significant possibility that if I go home, that will be the last of these grand ideas.

SteveJ Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 You can do it! Although I got a great laugh from the 'I don't run...' quote I've only faced the rain once so far (ran anyway - put on a jacket that's got good water repelling to it and went). You get wet, but actually that run (it wasn't a downpour) was a good one because the rain cooled me down while I ran. It actually was kind of fun! Hopefully the weather breaks and you can eventually tear down that quote above your desk - you can be a runner! (I know if I can, anyone can!)

Frustrated & Floppy Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Thanks, Steve. I've made some great changes in my life and starting to take care of myself (at the grand age of 44) is part of the metamorphosis. I decided that I am going to make 45 "fabulous," although I should have gotten a much, much bigger head start on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hi Frustrated, Welcome here. I had to chuckle at that post myself. Running in the rain is not for me, unless it is sooo hot outside. If you did not run, just try again tomorrow. I am super duoer proud of you and your new journey. You got this!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
