5 mile victory!

Holy smokes, I had almost lost all faith in my running, but this morning, as Sebastian is down for his first nap, I FINALLY got on my treadmill after over a week of not running. I feel so proud for making myself do it, and for going 5 miles. Awesome! I do have to say that it wouldn't have been as easy without my TV. I usually watch my old 'Friends' DVD's, but lately that has been redundant. I've seen each episode about 300 times, and I find myself counting down episodes. I know that each is about 22 minutes long, which is about 2 miles. It's a little hard to concentrate on the show when all I can think about is that I only have to run through one more episode. So I got into our movie archives and put 'Titanic' into the VCR. Yes, VCR! I know that movie is kind of cliche, and it did have a time where it was really over-played, but I have to admit that I totally love it! My hour of running this morning got me to the fancy dinner that they invite Jack to as appreciation for saving Rose. Since I haven't seen it in a while, I was enjoying every minute instead of counting down. I almost could have stayed on longer just so that I could watch more. But I decided to stop at 1 hour since Sebastian would probably be waking up soon and I wanted to get in the shower before he did. Here's to 5 miles!

yea Amy, though I HATE that movie, all because of the scene with the mom reading to her kids as the ship is sinking. It's the only image of the movie I see in my head when I hear the title, Titanic!

oh, but hey, 5 miles is 5 miles, regardless if I like the movie or not!
