For the first time ever, and probably my hundredth attempt, I actually dragged my tookus out of bed to run before work this morning. I did come up with a million reasons not to get out there. Snooze button once. Eyebrow grooming. Hit the trail and came back for bug spray. In the end I had time for a mile and a half. Sad distance, I know. But I did it instead of snuggling in my warm, comfy bed. That's pretty huge for me!
After I hit the trail for a second time, I almost turned around a tenth of a mile down....without guilt. I heard the freakiest animal fight? just behind the first row of trees and growth. I heard turkey gobbling (we have a crazy amount of wild turkeys out here) and growling and snarling. Not like dog growling and snarling. And I don't think turkeys growl and snarl. I don't know who was attacking who. But it got worse and worse and then it stopped. I wanted so bad to turn around and go home before the winner got me, but I kept going. And lived to type about it :)

I'm a chubby girl training for a marathon. I figure I will either become less chubby through the process, or a chubby girl will finish a marathon.

Congrats on getting out there. I hate early morning running but sometimes you have to do it.
Holy cow - congrats on getting up in the morning and going out there to run! EVERY morning I make up an excuse and I NEVER get out there. I feel like I need someone to drag me - kudos to you!
