How Depressing

April 21st, 2009

Well, I just hit the treadmill for the first time in a year. Last March I was doing awesomely and running 2 miles without needing a breather, but then I met a thing called a 40-hour work week for the first time in my life and it was sayonara exercise routine. Now, faced with the thought of purchasing a whole new wardrobe to fit my rounder frame, I find I suddenly have time to work out again! Funny how that works, isn’t it?

Tonight’s round of Emily vs. Nautilus came out mostly in favor of the treadmill. I was, sadly, only able to run a quarter mile before I had to slow down and catch my breath. Oof. But, always the optimist, I am looking at this as a jumping-off point. I can only get better from here.

Let’s hope I can stay motivated, because this yo-yoing has got to end!
