Results #6 and (almost) puking

I dropped 1.6 lbs this week. Given last weeks 3 lb loss I will go ahead and let myself admit that this was not too shabby.

This morning I attempted my 6 miler. I know you must be sick of girl stories but I have one more then I will spare you the details of what goes on in my head. Four rows up, one treadmill over = super hot girl. She was wearing some sort of strappy thing so I could see her entire back. mmm. She was doing the elliptical thing sort of near the ESPN tv so I mean what could I do. But anyway when she was done she started walking toward my treadmill. I'm about 4 deep from the isle so this doesn't seem like a convenient way to leave the area to me. I know, you're thinking I bet she was going to get the wipey thing to clean the elliptical but she already did that. So here she comes t-minus 4 rows, 3 rows, huh? whats going on here? i'm thinking to myself. t-minus 2 rows, ummm......BASEBALL! yeah BASEBALL! whew, baseball. t-minus one row. i'm unconsciously running on the edge of my treadmill at this point, near the side of the 'mill that i predict she will walk past. she walked right past my treadmill. i found this odd because i mean she could have picked 10 different paths to 10 different areas of the club that seemed more convenient. hehe. in my mind i almost fell over when she walked past me. IN MY MIND whew please tell me i fell over only in my mind. i will leave the story at that!

how many times do i need to tell myself to eat better before a run? to have some water? how many times i ask! geez. i didn't have anything to eat before i left for the gym and last night i didn't eat that much either. i was running 10:40 miles all way up to 5 miles. my legs picked the speed, i started out slower but they wouldn't have any of that. felt great. 5.11 mile mark: i think i feel like puking. hmmm nah, can't be. 5.25 miles yeah i think i might puke. lets see what can i think of to distract myself....tacos....drinking water...whats on tv? 5.5 miles: i might puke. i'm not "tired" mind you but i feel like dry heaving all over the hot girls running next to me. we can't have that. i made it to 5.72 miles and i punched the stop button. i will make up the rest later today. i know its because i didn't eat or drink right. stupid! but i feel great from the 5.72 miles: 60:11. pretty good run if only i didn't feel like puking.

  • Well you better be back there on the mill at the same time next week .. or tomorrow. She may be looking for you.

  • she's totally in to you! i mean, honestly, with 10+ other paths to chose from and she chose the one by your treadmill!! of course, falling off the treadmill (literally - not just in your mind) might have been a great attention-grabber! (maybe you can try that trick next time! haha).

  • Congratulations on the weight loss.

    As for the girl stories.... I like hearing them because it gives me insight into the mysterious workings of the male mind... Are you saying that I have the power to make a man fall off a treadmill? (not that you did or anything) Because that totally rocks.

  • It's nice to hear a guy thinking the same things that girls think! I agree with Krista - it sounds like something I would do if I was interested in a guy :)
