Most of you know that I'm in Colorado now, and most of you can guess that it gets a bit chilly here. Well last night I went to try and buy some workout clothes that will keep me a bit warmer than shorts and a t-shirt for when I need to go run outside this winter. All I want to know is when in the world did athletic clothes become so damn expensive?!!! One of the "high tech" shirts/jackets I was looking at was $90!! Another of the stay-dri shirts was $50! Excuse me, but that is absolutely ridiculous for any type of clothing, let alone things I am going to sweat in. May have to hit up the thrift store to find some better priced clothes, especially since I hope to not be fitting in them before long anyway!
I have been asked what regimen I'm on to train for this. Right now, I'm not doing any specific plan to get ready for this run. That's not to say that I won't here soon, but right now I am merely trying to build endurance, and lose fat. If you saw my previous post then you know that I have a lot of work to do in that area alone. The good part again is that we are starting a biggest loser competition at work that will provide extra motivation for me to keep doing what I've been doing. Our team name, as decided by my co-worker and I, is the Hungry Hungry Hippos! It's nice to be around people who like me know we could spare a few pounds in our waistlines, and are willing to joke ourselves about it. After all it's definitely my fault that I've gotten this big, so why not be able to laugh at myself some?
Thank you again for those that have, and continue, to support me. It definitely helps me get through those workouts when all I want to do is quit. I keep the finish line in my mind, as well as the supporters I have. I really do appreciate y'all!
