MY FAT HURTS! It's MELTING!

I am sure that you all are wondering what the heck is up with that title....well let me share with you the orgin of that statement!


When I decided that I was going to train for this 1/2 marathon, I called my cousin Randin.....the ones of you that know me might know that she is the reason that I got involved with TNT to begin with a few years ago. I called her excited because just that morning I had participated in a TNT Winter Alum 5K run....and had signed up for the Nike Women's 1/2 Marathon to participate on Team Brenda. Randin could hear the excitment in my voice and knew that I was truly excited, b/c I had ran almost the full 3K...and I knew with training that I could participate in the 1/2 marathon. After letting me babble for awhile, which all of you know I do so well....she said, "I am glad that you are the one doing this b/c when I run my saddlebags hurt!" At first I just paused, then I started to laugh. I had no idea that saddlebags could hurt!

Well I learned soon enough that fat can hurt! After about 3+ weeks of training about 3 days a week with running...I started to know what Randin meant! One morning I had picked up the crew and we were getting ready to start running to Crissy Field, I took maybe 3 steps then I stopped and said, "My fat hurts!" And the sad part was that I wasn't kidding! And while Kat and Esther laughed at me, Kael said "Is it saying, I'm MELTING???" Then of course that set us off into a laughing fit!

That day I could only hope that some day, very soon I hope, my fat wouldn't hurt anymore!!!!
