Jiggle Thighs and Baby News

Week One- Phase One. How did it go?
I ended up missing two runs. 50%. See? Typical Laura Lou strikes again. To be fair, the first run was missed due to grocery shopping with Mister. (have I introduced y'all to Mister?) I worked until 4, then shopping for food. It would have been 8pm before I could run and that is just unheard of. I missed another run, too, but I don't remember why. Must have been a great reason. :)
I did hit two of my runs though, and they were wonderful. I am certainly ready for running outside weather though. I struggle on the treadmill. Things I like about running on the treadmill:
-I get to watch tv
-Climate control
-Wearing little booty shorts that I would never be caught dead in inside

Here's the thing. I have jiggly thighs. They are chubby and squishy and not toned at all. And I don't care. Well, I do care. But I also love the fact that my jiggle thighs carry me through life. They have been put through the wringer. Xterra triathlons, half marathons, hikes, 52 mile bike rides. And they never let me down. They don't get mad that I suck at training and then hit big runs/bikes. They don't get mad that I eat pizza and expect them to perform highly. They just keep on truckin' along.
But I still don't want to run in public in tiny shorts. Not yet. Maybe this summer I will have enough courage to let the flab fly.
Today's run was pretty sucky. I planned on 20 minutes, but only hit 10. My brain just wasn't in it. Again, I blame the treadmill. I was supposed to meet E at the gym to run together, but the weather had other plans. Indiana doesn't understand what "plow" means, and I have yet to see one go by today.
**Legit- As I typed that, a plow just went by!
As the weeks go by, I promise I will be more consistent with my runs. Come March, I will be running outside, pushing my jiggle thighs up hills and around rivers, ticking off mile after mile. Maybe, if you live close, you can join me for a few of those miles!
Side Note- Today I find out if my brother Patrick and his wife are having a boy or girl! They are pregnant with Baby Baker #2, due in May. Baby Baker #1 turned out to be sweet Baby Girl Baker and I am keeping my fingers crossed for Baby Boy Baker this time around. Yay to nieces and nephews!!
