This is the first Wednesday that my son, Parker, has had to catch the early bus to go to band. We have to walk 6 houses down to the bus stop. I put on my tennis shoes, warm jacket, (It's freezing here) and headed down to the bus stop. The bus came and got him and I started walking home and here is the conversation I had with myself.
New Me: I should really go for a walk since I'm out here anyway.
Old Me: Naaaw, it's too cold out here and you haven't even eaten breakfast.
New Me: Good point, but I already have my sweats, sweatshirt, shoes, and jacket on.
Old Me: Yeah, but you could be in the house warming up. You know you haven't been feeling well. See you just sniffed and coughed.
New Me: I know, but I meet with my coach tomorrow and I already have to tell him I didn't work out on Tuesday, so I really should just go for a walk.
Old Me: I didn't tell you not to work out today, just not to go for a walk right now. It's only 7:30am. You have all day to work out.
New Me: Would you shut up already. I'm going for a walk. I'm getting my hat, a water bottle, and my IPOD.
Old Me: Oh so, you're going in the house to get that stuff I can still talk you out of that walk.
New Me: I am going for this walk and I will walk for an hour or 2 miles whatever comes first. Here I go!!!
Old Me: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!
I did it. It was super cold out, but I walked an hour and in that hour I walked a little over 2 miles. I was very proud of myself.
GO ME!! I meet with my coach again tomorrow. YEAH ME!!!!

Like I always say, the hardest step is the first one out the door! Way to put old you in her place. Kind of like how I convinced "injured jordan" to shut up and went on a 9-mile run yesterday, finding out that my hamstring issue isn't that bad. I ran the whole thing at 8:20 per mile with a warmup and cooldown in there. Keep it up!
Good job New You!
