While I'm Doing the C25K - Episode 2

Five minutes isn't seeming like so long anymore.

You know, now that I'm on the uber budget, I should put together a wish list for running supplies. What should I put on it? It would help me have goals to save for.

More singlets. This thing is damn comfy to run in. But I'm sweating like a hog and I really should wash them every day now.

Some more sports bras, see reasons above. Glad I found the Moving Comfort one, but I wonder if it will work without underwire.

That reminds me, I really need to save up for some new bras in general.

I wonder if Nike still makes wicking undies. Cotton is just not going to cut it when it is ninety degrees out. *

I should blog about how happy I am to have lost enough weight to be able to find cute underwear cheap. No longer forced to shop at Lane Bryant.

OK, back to the list.

New shoes. My older motion control shoes are helping out the knee. Damn I hate that the little snot at the New Balance store was right. At least I can order online now.

I need a haircut. That is a running supply right. I wonder if I can afford to keep going to my regular person. If I had to go to the Institute it would suck. Trainees hate curly hair.

Maybe I should get a lighter weight hat like that chick that just passed me again. The canvas is going to get hot too.

I wonder if I will ever be comfortable in those short running shorts.

I will never be comfortable in that unitard thing she is wearing. OMG.

I'm going to be the dork that goes to the grocery store in her workout clothes tonight. To hell with it.

Monday is 8 minutes. I'm scared.

* Yeah, if you have always worn technical running shorts, you won't get this. The fitness pants I run in, no liner. However, I did find these from Title Nine. They are now on the list.

** I have no idea if it will work, but I am thinking about moving my work schedule and trying to get out when A is getting ready for work. That would be around 5:30. AM. I don't do well for exercise then, but I think it would help my overall goals of weight loss to start the day exercising. We'll see if it lasts longer than my Shred at 5:30 plan. (two weeks was all I made it then)

Okay, I do not wear underwear when I am running. If I am in tight shorts - I just go w/o..otherwise I buy running shorts with a built in panty. No matter what - yes, stay away from cotton.

Good socks are important too.

For what it's worth, I love running/working out in the morning before I start my day. It was hard at first but now its kind of like brushing my teeth...the day just doesn't feel right without it, you know?

And I LOVE to make wishlists for running stuff, if only in my head. My top item right now? The nike-sports band ( http://www.amazon.com/Nike-SportBand-Medium-Grey-University/dp/B002Y1NZBY/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2RFXHUKT9VD63&colid=1LK1S5B0YGMZ0 ) It looks so awesome and would totally feed my need to quantify and measure my progress.

Oh, and I second the commenter above about having good socks. :-)
