Running Buddies!

Guess what?!
I ran this morning!!! Ahwoots! Ahwoots! *does a happy dance*
Yupp, I got up at seven, and I went running with my dog.
Which, by the way, isn't all that easy as she wants to stop and sniff stuff..... All well...
All in all, it went pretty well.
I am back doing the Couch to 5k thing again.... And this time, I'm going to STICK TO IT!
Just in case you don't know...
It's a program to get people from their couch (aka the lazy bums who haven't run since high school PE *ahem* me...) to be able to run three miles in nine weeks...
For week one: Five minute warm up walk (brisk walk!), then 8 sets of: 60s of running and 90s of walking, and then it's a five minute cool down walk.
It's not all that bad. Hopefully I stick to it, unlike last time where I quit after the first day because it was just TOO HOT!
My dog is going to be my running buddy!
(See, here's where the title links back in!)
I asked her this morning if she wanted to go on a walk with me, and she jumped up and went to her leash all excited.
And while we were running I asked her, well, here's our conversation:
Me: Dixie Lou... would you be willing to do this three times a week?
Dixie: (gives me a funny look, keeps running)
Me: (gives her a look back) You know... we could trim some of that unwanted puppy fat!

Haha. You know, puppy fat, like baby fat?? She's not quite three yet. She will be on the eleventh of September though. (We make my dad share his birthday with her... lol.)
So, hopefully I stick to this. Hopefully it doesn't get too hot again...
I won't quit Zumba, because that is just fun! :) So I think I will Zumba tonight, that way I get my exercise day in.
I feel like this is a brand new start! Yayyyy! I think I will also start cracking down on my eating again too. I mean, I'm not doing badly. I'm not overeating, I don't go back for seconds anymore... but I think it's time to kick it up a notch! *BAM* (Emiril Style! WOOTS!)

Well, it's time for me to take a shower. I think I will blog again tonight about my whole day, my eating habits, etc. If you are reading this, and I haven't posted by 11 pm Central Time, (hopefully you can figure out what time that is your time.... depending on where you're at...) message me to remind me, or, well, yeah, I guess that's good enough.
Because most likely I will be on the computer, and when someone messages me in my SparkMail inbox, it sends an email to me, and when I get an email, windows live messenger lets me know. :) So make sure I blog again! Okay??
Well, yet again, time for a shower. I think this is my longest blog to date! Yippee!!! :)
Good luck to you in your endeavors. Don't get discouraged. But, if you do, blog about how you truly feel and I know that SO many people will comment and make you feel better! Haha, I know my Sparkfriends, and just some others helped me out when I felt bad.

Again... showertime... goodness, I keep getting distracted!!!!
Goodluck!
