That title is a line from "Footloose" and sometimes it comes into my head - especially with such a big butt to get in gear. Thus the great image. That is so me except I've got lighter hair.
One of my favorite parts of getting in shape and running is the planning. I just love making tables and calendars, researching programs, and getting it all down on paper. Then each day I don't have to wonder what I'm going to do -I just walk up to my fridge, where the program is stuck on with a magnet, and look at today's workout. On my fridge I also have a chart for tracking my weight. Sometimes I wonder if I should take it down when I have guests but then I figure - who am I kidding - they know I'm overweight! Still sometimes, when it's someone I especially feel self conscious around, I take it down.
I'm also finding that training for a tri is a lot better than straight running. When I'm just running it's easier to get burnt out because each day I know what I'm doing - just running. With the tri though - I'm never quite sure and get a new kind of workout each and every time.

nice bum! and knee caps on the back of her legs:)
I know what you mean about running burnout. Even though my race was a total bust, the training was great b/c it DIDN't have us running every day. Loved that!
Have fun!...
Where do you get these pictures. I was consumed with shock and interest at the same time. I think it is funny how we see ourselves. We are totally our own worst critic. You by the way look nothing like that. I loved training for my tri last year. Way more fun than just running and the race itself was way more fun. I don't see myself running more than a half marathon ever but a true triathlon sounds really challenging and fun.
