How (Almost) Everyone Started Running

Rogan: I‘m going to do it! I’m gonna start running a mile every day!

Mac (who has the energy of a Jack Russell terrier): YESSSS AT LAST! WORKOUT BOYFRIENDS!

Rogan (the first week): eesh jeez this is hard.

Mac: YOU CAN DO IT I BELIEVE IN YOU! It gets better after the first week.

Biff: hey wha’cha doing? Running? Sure I’ll join.

Mac: YES BOYFRIEND RUNNING TIME I AM SO HAPPY

Biff (wheezing like a steam engine): Fuck shit why you fuckers do this for fun this fucking sucks

Mac: it gets better after the first week!

Rogan: I verify the accuracy of this statement.

Biff: AIN’T NO ONE ASKED YOU FUZZ I ain’t getting outjocked by YOUR nerd ass

Grey: *silently joins because she’s been running miles a day at dawn for twenty years and what’s one more later?*

Mac: I have reached peak joy. I don’t think I can be happier than this.

Mori: I find myself in need of blowing off steam, can I join?

Mac: NEVER MIND

Mori: holy shit I figured with the vessel pre-adjusted it’d be easy but this is TERRIBLE, you fuckers do this for fun?

Mac: I swear it gets better after the first week!

Rogan: It’s true.

Mori: *looks to Biff, the only source she trusts*

Biff: (siiiiiiigh) it true.

Mori: well, I sure ain’t getting out-aerobiced by YOUR pack-a-day smokestack ass so guess I’m doing it! *looks at Rawlin* Why aren’t YOU bitching and moaning?

Rawlin: Enduring life. I don’t need to adjust; my body naturally handles it.

Mori: UGH I HATE YOU.

Miranda: I loathe exercise on principle as a lady of leisure, but you lot are increasingly doing morning meetings while running and apparently I love organizing more than I hate exercise, so...

Mac: you can wear a cute little running outfit!

Miranda: Sold.

Miranda: OH GOD THIS IS AWFUL

Everyone else (except Rawlin): It gets better after the first week.

Miranda: I would certainly hope so! Ugh!

Mac: I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY EVERYONE IS WORKING OUT WITH ME ;_;

Bob: I’m not. I have a bad heart. I am sitting in a lawn chair, watching you guys run, and drinking coffee instead.

Falcon: I have no health excuse, Bob is just the only other person here who appreciates a decent cup of coffee.

Sneak: I don’t need to run, I’m a superhero! I fly. ^_^

Mori: cheater. Gigi, you running or not?

Gigi: you’ll find out. owo (disappears into the trees)

:D What fun!

I need to get back to running. Maybe after winter ends. I'm still active on the stationary bike and weights though! I miss boxing.

glad running is fun!! moving feels great. human bodies love moving, i've found, any time it's not excruciating.

when this was posted, i was struggling with The Zoomies, but i was mid-finals, so i was sitting still anyway and just refreshing dreamwidth. then i saw this and was inspired to spend like half an hour wandering around campus (because i'm not built for running) and it was great! so thank you for inspiring my little wander.

honestly, with the hindsight of *checks nonexistent watch* roughly five hours, this post has also kind of inspired me to find a way i can run, because running RULES. i am totally with mac (and grey i presume, and the rest of you after a week).

when we visited puerto rico in may, i discovered i can run on beaches without pain—it’s the wet sand specifically, so it’s hard to get to off a coastal beach—and it was honestly amazing. i might see if we can go to one of those huge trampoline places like skyzone…

Sounds fun, good luck to y'all! :D
Wish we could run more but we have health problems that could flare up w/ running. We walk and bike a lot though!

You know, I've been wanting to get back into working out too and have started trying to commit to being more active, even if that just means moving around more instead of sitting down all day. Doesn't even have to be anything extreme. I could make myself go up and down the stairs where I live, go on walks around my little neighborhood, visit my neighborhood's local gym to use the treadmill and free weights, and things like that. And then, if I want to stay inside instead, I try to do ten-minute yoga stretches and ten-minute ab workouts. The point is that I'm feeling motivated and actually doing something with that motivation!

Reading this entry gives me more motivation though, so after this I'm probably going to do my stretching routine to prepare myself to go to bed, lol. And tomorrow, I hope to do it again in the morning. Thanks for the extra motivation!! Y'all are AWESOME! :)
