I swear to god, if Taylor Swift ends up being the reason I take up running and stick to it, it’s going to be the most embarrassing but also on-brand thing that’s ever happened to me

#someone on tiktok put together a couch to eras tour running challenge which has phases like couch to 5k; 5k to 10k; 10k to 10 miles #then 10 miles to essentially ‘you can now run for so long you could basically do the eras tour if taylor was MIA’#so i read the instructions and i was like well. i have a treadmill so i basically have no excuse not to do this #week 1 is 1989 so i walked to ‘blank space’ at about 3mph to warm up and then did intermittent walking; jogging & running to style; ootw;#wildest dreams and you are in love. you walk verses; run choruses & sprint bridges #i have a persistent knee injury so i decided to interpret run as jog & did it at about 5mph and sprint as run & went up to about 7mph #at the highest because i didn’t want to throw my knee out #like it’s functional but i still have pains and i don’t really want to explain to my physio that i broke myself by trying to do a tiktok #challenge. like i can’t imagine that going over well #anyway. it was fun! it took 20 minutes in total #i do think i will have to adjust my schedule at some point because right now my day 6 ‘long run’ coincides with thursdays which is when #i have pilates which i would rather be a cross-training day for obvious reasons #my cross-training day would otherwise be a tuesday and what the hell am i going to do on a tuesday #honestly even a saturday would be acceptable for cross-training because sometimes i go swimming with my friend on saturdays #and yeah we usually take her kiddo and we just bounce around in a circle but i can always break off from them and do a few lengths #or just tread water and let the kid smack me with a pool noodle. idk #i just honestly felt like if i didn’t start this today i’d never end up doing it. so. i started it #i’m now going to tell everyone i know so that they’ll bully me by asking if i ran that day #ooooooh you know what’d probably work as motivation?!?! i could ban myself from listening to taylor when i’m not running #it will also keep me from getting sick of her. which… i don’t think will happen anyway because it would’ve happened already let’s be real #i have been a fan of hers since i was 12 years old. i lived through the drought. like…#if i get sick of anything it’ll be the first few songs on the setlist playlist but! we’ll worry about that when we get there #personal
