00:00Good morning. Here's another installment of a slightly overweight person who drinks too much beer trying to train for a marathon. Today, we have four miles. Help.
00:13Oh my god, I feel like they're gonna attack me. Help! I posted one of my run videos to TikTok thinking
00:22someone would find it.
00:24That was similar to me and we could be like, I don't know, virtual running friends or something.
00:29But then a million people saw that.
00:42Basically, I feel myself struggling through every run. Wow, running in the country, it's so great.
00:47Until it smells like fertilized field. Just gotta get to the tree tunnel for some vibes. Tree tunnel vibes for me,
00:53tree tunnel vibes for you. Frick yeah, the tree tunnel on three. One, two, three, frick yeah.
01:00I
01:01started running because I, it was after I had my third baby and that postpartum period is rough.
01:08But I just went right out here and I ran up the hill.
01:14Can someone Google what the first signs of frostbite are? Because my hands hurt and I don't have gloves.
01:20I felt a little better and so I just thought I'm going to
01:26run a mile every day for 30 days.
01:29I wanted to set like a big goal to force myself to keep doing it because it did make me feel good even though it
01:36really sucks while you're doing it. Sometimes, a lot of times.
01:45It's long run day and today we have,
01:48God just say it,
01:5014 miles. But first running outfit of the day.
01:53But first running outfit of the day. But first running outfit of the day. I prop the camera up here.
02:04When I was trying to do like the Instagram
02:08models
02:09poses or just pose normal, I looked really awkward. I didn't know what to do with my hands.
02:14So I just like stood like this and I felt like it was the opposite of
02:20Instagram poses and I felt comfortable doing it. One mile. I'm struggling. Just telling myself. I'm not warmed up yet, right?
02:28I'm just not warmed up yet. Trouble running is just the idea. I think I just wanted to name it. It happens.
02:35You're on a run.
02:37You're maybe it's too hot. You didn't hydrate enough or you're getting cramps or your feet hurt and
02:43instead of being down about it, I feel like giving it a name makes it a
02:49thing that you can kind of laugh at. Just burped and a little puke came out. We're fine. We're still fine.
02:54Not gonna do it. We got a lot more redness going on here.
02:57If people need a little coaxing to get started or be more confident with it or be like, you know what?
03:04I am a runner.
03:06Then that's important to me and I'm
03:08honored that people are even inspired by me or motivated because I never thought that I would
03:14inspire or motivate anyone in my life.
03:19Oh
03:27The 18 mile race, that was wicked. At day it was 22 mile per hour winds,
03:34downpouring rain. There wasn't any hydration for the first three miles. Oh, it was humid.
03:40Thank you!
03:44But in the beginning
03:46there were a bunch of people that recognized me from TikTok and they came up and we got to meet and take pictures.
03:54Living out here. I don't see
03:56anyone
03:58that watches my TikToks.
04:02Or anyone in general.
04:11There's always that thought like what if it doesn't work out and you know, I just left this job for what?
04:18But I'm trying to also think what if it does work out?
04:22How amazing would that be? I just posted the video announcing that I was partnering with Dick's Sporting Goods.
04:28And everyone's being so nice.
04:30Like genuinely happy for me. Not that I was expecting anyone to be mean but a huge part of the team.
04:37Not that I was expecting anyone to be mean but a huge part of the reason that I get any of these opportunities is because you guys.
04:44Has turned into something
04:46completely different than what I even set out to do was which was just to make fun videos.
04:52And there's so many opportunities that have come my way because I thought instead of what if it doesn't work?
04:58What if it does work? Frick yeah the tree tunnel on three. One, two, three. Frick yeah!
