Thighs that rub together... part of my DNA

So, my hubbie and I ran together last night. We mapped out a 3 mile loop and headed out from the Y. We ran the first mile, and I was cheered on by Michael to keep running. He's very encouraging of me, which is so awesome, and at certain times I wanted to kick him in the shin and make him let me stop. We walked for another 3/4 mile or so, and then picked up the pace to start running for the last mile. I DID IT!!! So, all tolled, we ran a little over 2 miles together. It felt so good! I'm working my way to being able to run a 5K. I LOVE that we're doing this together!! I'm sure we're going to do it separately too, but doing it together is really nice. I can't wait till the 5K run in June!

So, this part is not for the squeamish. You were warned.

I noticed a couple things yesterday. 1. I sweat a lot in my nether-regions. 2. Sweat is good lubrication for your thighs. I had shorter shorts on than normal and throughout the course of the run/walk I felt the need to pull them down so my thighs would not spontaneously combust. That was, until I got a good sweat going, then it was like my thighs were covered in lube. Sweat is my friend! P.S.- no matter how heavy or thin I have been in my lifetime, my inner thighs have always rubbed together. They are one of those areas on my body that I would circle with a red pen. I do love my body, it constantly amazes me with the things it can do. It's not the same as when I was 17, and guess what? It's not supposed to be.

down 2.4 lbs

So the scale said I was down 2.4 lbs this morning. That is probably because I sweat so much this weekend. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I will take the heat over the cold any day.

Anybody for bathing suit shots? Holla!

Stay tuned, you sick, twisted bitches. My boobs do look pretty good, if I do say so myself. You'll have to wait and see!

Back from vaca... back on the weight loss wagon!

Hi all. I was asked if I counted points over vacation and my answer was, "Yes, I counted all of them as they went into my mouth!"

I did a run/walk on Good Friday at the beach and it was AMAZING!!! I felt strong! I felt proud! I felt athletic!! People were watching me and I was like, "Yeah, I'm running at the beach." I was one of THOSE people. Yay me!

Then Saturday happened, and I burned (pretty badly) the backs of both my legs from buttocks to ankle. I apparently forgot to apply or re-apply (depending on whose version you hear) sunblock to those areas. I swear I was only on my belly for 30 minutes...tops! Florida sun is different than upstate NY sun.

My point in telling you that is to say that it thwarted my running/walking efforts. I was in pain.

I'm going to the Y tonight to do the Nautilus and then running tomorrow. I will force the hubbie to teach me how to put my own pictures on the blog. I swear!

And I ran... (you know the song)

I RAN!! It was a beautiful evening! There were bugs flying around. I told Michael that I felt like I was gonna inhale one! I thought about running with my face down, but that didn't seem safe.

Going Running Tonight!!

It's been over a week. I will do it tonight. I have had a motivation problem as well as scheduling problems! The "live like liz" run is scheduled to take place on June 7th. Anyone care to join? Michael and I are doin' it and I'd like to get dorky t-shirts made that say something like "Team Edger" or something. Do you think it would be pushing it to make them hot pink? There's nothing like getting your husband to run a 5K with you and then asking him to wear a hot pink t-shirt. I haven't mentioned the white tube socks with hot pink stripes at the top yet. I'm biding my time with that one.
