Today I flew in to HOT-lanta to take care of some business and it is FREEZING! Not just cold, freezing. My flight left late because of weather in Houston so I am already making excuses about why I cant get on the treadmill tonight. "I'm too tired", "it's too late", "I haven't eaten", "I want to play with the baby". The excuses are overflowing.
So I get to Toya's house and rest and relax for a few minutes. I play with the baby and he slowly falls off to sleep a little while after. So there I am. Me, Toya and Tone just sitting aorund talking. And I remember my overall GOAL. I want to actually RUN the 5K. And it takes everything in me to decide to put on my clothes to workout.
Thanks To Isha, I was able to create my own iPod playlist and have the songs switch when I am supposed to walk and run. So, I get on the treadmill, turn my iPod on and guess what? It freezes up. My iPod is frozen! "If it ain't one thing it's another..." (I hear that in my head) What the hell? It is of course the excuse of all excuses not to run. So I had to take a break to go look online to figure out how to un-freeze my iPod. The instructions were clear and it didnt take too long (move back and forth from 'hold' position, then push 'menu' and center select button at the same time - in case you ever need it). Again, I was ready to roll.
Having the iPod playlist made my workout so much better. I didnt have to look down at the screen to figure out when to change and I could focus on my overall goal. The workout itself was actually ok too. I guess I am building up a little stamina. I guess the true test will come next week when I am running for 90 seconds instead of 60. Let's see how it goes. I'd better make the next playlist now.
