Just as a matter of principle, just so you know the Two Buff Chicks sometimes make choices that don't go along with a healthy lifestyle, you need to know that after all her big talk about prepping for Saturday morning's 9-mile training run, Nancy simply could not convince herself to get out of bed when the time came.
The attitude started Friday evening. She went to dinner with her husband and she just really wanted to have a beer. Or two. It was Labor Day weekend, for Pete's sake. Then Saturday morning it felt so good to lie in bed with the windows open to the cool air...well, it really was almost impossible to get up. So she didn't.
Payback came on Sunday, when, feeling extremely guilty about blowing off her responsibility to herself on Saturday, she went out after church to run 9 miles. It was hotter on Sunday than it was on Saturday and it was later in the day when she went. Not knowing the route the training group used on Saturday, she ran from home, telling herself that surely the route from home was much hillier than the training route. Because she wants you to know, that run was tough. In fact she only was able to run the first half of it and had to walk the rest. So she did complete 9 miles, which is good, but she did not do as well as she had hoped.
The good part of the whole story is that today is another day! With renewed determination, she will be back at it again. Keep your fingers crossed.
