At Least My Face Will Be Warm

If you all follow my blog at all you know that I'm a on again and off again exerciser. Yeah. Whatever. You've all been in my shoes.

I've done a Biggest Loser Challenge. I've done the 30 Day Dead Shred, and recently started the Wii Active 30 Day Challenge.

While all these things have been great, it has not given me the satisfaction of a good ol' jog outdoors.

It's been a loooooooooong while since I've strapped on my shoes and headed outdoors for a run. Well I have a Gala that I'm going to on Saturday night and figure starving myself isn't as effective without a good workout in place of eating.

I made my mind up that last night would be my big debut. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Wanna know how that went? I'll tell you anyway.

Here a a few notes on taking a neighborhood jog at 9pm on the 2nd day of summer after numerous storms the last few weeks and not having run in a few months. Ahem.

-Stretching out is more of a requirement than a suggestion.

-Drinking soda BEFORE the run may be a way to keep your mouth moist (it won't stay down).

-Bugs don't discriminate against eyeballs. They love them actually. And will burn.like.hell.

-Running in the middle of the street with your eyes closed to avoid bugs isn't all that safe.

-Bugs don't discriminate against your mouth. Once again they love it. Ugh.

-Calling friends begging for water as your run past their street is frowned upon. Just sayin.

-It is recommended to walk around for 10-15 minutes so the kids and hubby don't ask about why you are back so soon.

I wonder if things will be any better tonight. I'm thinking of wearing a ski mask but I'm not sure how safe that will be.
