With a blog title like that, I'm sure that you are expecting my confession to be about how I want running to turn my body from muffin-top flab to rock-hard minx.
And while I would love for that to be the case... I am aware that it is not going to happen. Not while I'm enjoying 5lbs of chocolate and gallons of ice cream. I'm okay with that.
No - the driving force behind my runs is bragging rights.
You see, I have family and friends that are easily impressed - so my declaration of completing 9 races in 2010 leaves many in awe.
And I just eat it up.
Yes, I also enjoy many other things about running. I love to race (even though "race" is a relative term for my 10 minute mile pace), I love the cardio benefits, I love the "me" time, and I really love the automatic love for other runners out there.
But most of all it's the collection of t-shirts and medals that I have. And I'll keep running and racing to add more to them.
I am back at work today. Which means that I now have time to catch up on blogs. You would think that that wouldn't be the case while I'm at work.
I ran/walked three times last week. Slowly I will get back into it. I'm thinking about signing up for a couple of 5Ks in the next couple of months to help me get motivated. But I'm planning to wait until I've been at work for a couple of weeks, so that I can get used to the schedule and see how running in the evenings works out for me.
What I wouldn't give for my own treadmill!! Yes, our clubhouse is close... but it isn't the same as having one in your basement.
I can't believe how fast my 12 weeks went by. I miss my little baby.
I completed my first post-baby "run" today.
There was a lot more walking than running.
And I only went 2 miles.
In other news: I love my baby.
