Relevant, especially being less than a month out from my marathon. This is my last big training week…

I don’t reblog often, but this was worthy!

Me 50% of the time: I love to run. Green beans are amazing. Who needs cake when I can have strawberries. PROTEIN. Oh my god peanut butter. I have so much energy! This is my fourth bottle of water today. I love being healthy.

Me the other 50% of the time: I want to sleep for 6 years. When did my bed become heaven. Why did I eat 3 twinkies. I’m too lazy to put on a bra. Being a girl sucks. I don’t feel like exercising.

Texts From a Former Student

Student: Question. When did you start running? I’m on day seven ahaha and I need inspiration.
Me: In January – I hated running until like late March. don’t give up – push through!
Me: The weather now is perfect. Are you running outside, inside, on a track?
Student: I’ve been running outside. More to look at. And I really like running in the evening but thats not gonna work today.
Me: Yeah I prefer running outdoors. You should find a 5K in nov/dec and sign up for it. Having a race will help keep you motivated!
Student: Ah so true! thanks! I’ll let you know how this goes haha
Me: Keep me posted – I’m here to cheer you on 🙂

*Note – If you would have told me a year ago I’d be getting asked for running inspiration I would have though you were crazy, but this is my life. This student isn’t the first one either. It’s just funny because she worked for me in Summer 09 and randomly texted me today out of the blue.
