I did it!!! 4km run
I did my first full 4km run today around the streets. It is soooo much harder doing it outside than it is on the treadmill at the gym. I hit my first block around the 2km mark (used to be just before 1km when I ran 3km) and pushed through that and then around 3km...after that I got a second wind and felt like I could have done a lot more. I am such an unattractive runner though. My face is flaming red by about 1.5km and I look shocking!! lol
I am really pi$$ed though at an incident while running. I was about 1km in and some dickhead yelled out his car (passenger side) window something about "run... blah blah blah" I only heard the run part, possibly said "keep running you fat biotch, you need it" or something to that effect. I KNOW I am not the slimmest running, but that is why I am out there! :( Really put a dampener on the rest of the run. I have had a wanker call out another time too. Again I didn't hear what he (not a pattern here on the gender) said. Just shut the eff up and let me run you idiots!!
I have bought an ipod on ebay and am waiting for that to arrive (only won it on Wednesday), so once that arrives, I will get the sports band thingy for my arm and that will block out some of the idiots. What annoyed me the most is the initial fright when they yell from behind. And then of course spending the rest of the run being self concious because of what they could have said :(
I bought some new runner shoes yesterday (New balance) and wore them on the run. For the first time EVER, I haven't ended up with blisters!! LOVE them! They are so much better than the cross trainers (asics) I had before....lighter and allow the foot to breathe! I LOVE them!
Why do these idiots think they have the right to pass comment on anyone else? I bet they wouldn't be so mouthy out of their car.
Congratulations on the run :)
