Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path, and leave a trail.

Could it Be?

I think .... my ass is getting bigger. Not because I've been eating a lot of ice cream and such lately. I have been eating a lot of ice cream - it's summer! - but I honestly don't think my growing bum is a result of my food intake. When I gain "food weight," it's primarily in my midsection and hips, and that's not what this is. My fear is that it's from running.

I've noticed this phenomenon for the past few weeks - my backside is a little perkier than it used to be. And not perky in a good way. Perky in the sense that it sticks out a bit further than before, but it's pretty firm where it does stick out. I think I developed some muscles back there or something that's making me look like someone stuffed balloons down my pants.

I am sure this is far more noticeable to me than anyone else. My boyfriend says he sees no difference, but what sane man is ever going to agree with a woman who says her rear is growing? Right. I'm not overly concerned about this, but when I put pants on this morning and they didn't quite fit in the seat, I really panicked.

I'm not going to stop running or anything - no worries. Maybe I will have to cut down on the ice cream a bit and start doing exercises that build my muscles in other areas so I'm not so disproportioned. Well, let's be honest, the ice cream thing just isn't happening until the weather cools down, so clear focus on "other exercises" is going to have to be my solution.

P.S. I woke up before my 5:27 a.m. alarm today! I think my body is adjusting to this schedule ... I hopped out of bed, did a quick 3.5 and felt pretty good. Yay for me. It's awesome to know I'm getting out of bed at an insane hour just so I can add a little more bulk to my ass.

Tomorrow's my day off and I plan on getting in 6 miles, as we have yet another freaking wedding this weekend.

Ass transformations are part of the game. I'll never forget sitting in a wooden chair and thinking, "My butt hurts!" I was wondering what happened to all that padding :-) You just keep working it, and I gaurantee your muscles won't take up more space than the fat cells. Glad to see your legs are treating you right!

Running does build big muscles! But if you keep at it, eventually you'll run that ass off!
