Running Might Not be my Thing

In my new attempts to lose weight I decided that I am going to become one of those crazy exercise people that get all buff and sexy and even though they have never ever been fat before, miraculously have no extra skin from when they were fat. I contemplate which activity I am going to start to form my new hot mommy body. I decide running is it. Every time I see people outside running I always think "wow, they look so athletic and fit." So why not? I can do this. I am only mildly out of shape. I mean, I only pant slightly from walking up one flight of stairs so running should be no problem. Night comes and I tell my husband I am going on the treadmill for a run. I put on my clothes and shoes and look over and my dog is giving me this look. Back in the day when I was active I would come home and put on my shoes and walk her so she knows what the tennis shoes mean. I couldn't disappoint her so I decided I was going to run outside instead. It was a beautiful night and I was ready. I take my iPod with a special playlist just for my workouts and I am ready to go!The dog is freaking out - running back and forth in the yard because she hasn't been for a good walk in a long time. I open the gate, turn on my music and go.

8PM: Start running
8:02PM: Hey, this isn't so bad. I can do this! I feel empowered, fit and active. Look at all these people driving by watching me and thinking about how athletic I look. I am amazing!
8:03PM: I am getting a little tired and out of breath but I can keep going. Focus on the breathing, focus on the breathing.
8:04PM: Holy crap, how long has it been? Only 4 minutes? Are you kidding me?
8:05PM: Oh my gosh I think I might be dying. I can't breath. Is it possible to die of running? I am hyperventilating and I can't move my feet anymore. Is it normal to have coughing fits like this? I think I have just developed exercised induced asthma.
8:06PM: I need to walk now. I mean, who can really run 2 miles right off the bat? I am just going to walk for 2 minutes and then start running again.
8:08: Ok, maybe wait 2 more minutes to start running again. I should probably make sure I can breath again before I start up.
8:10: Walk back into house. Wow what a workout! I am sweating like a pig and for some reason this cough hasn't gone away. Maybe running isn't the best thing for me.
