I ran today. It was the last thing I wanted to do, but I got it done. I'm reading a really good book on my Kindle (amazon should pay me for that product ad right there)...so I knew that I could at least speed walk through 40 minutes and a few chapters. So I got my bag and bribed a friend to go with me to hit the treadmill. The bribe? The sweet deliciousness of Cafe Mexicali afterwards for dinner. Turns out, that is a hell of a motivator. I figured that if I didn't run I didn't get to eat much of my quesole (think a quesadila all rolled up like a burrito). So instead of walking like I thought I would, I jogged/ran. And I got my 4 miles in under 45 minutes. Hey, I told you I am a turtle...that hasn't changed.
So as I was enjoying my dinner I was pondering...do other people pound the "pavement" with the goal of getting to eat delicious food afterwards? Or am I just a fat kid? I'd like to think that I am not alone. And if I am, damnit, I don't care. Both the run and the reward were great. Win, win I say.
... or you could just be a fat kid like me who dreams of food but doesn't like to work out...
