My thoughts during a run

  • Me: This sucks, can it end so I can love it already!?
  • Me: WHY TF IS THIS SONG EVEN ON MY PLAYLIST!?
  • Me: Why am I doing this?
  • Me: Don't look at the distance. DON'T LOOK AT THE DISTANCE
  • Me: shit, I looked. TF, that was longer than .36 miles you liar!
  • Me: Power song? Let's do this
  • Me: *LEFT. LEFT. LEFT. RIGHT LEFT. TILL I COLLAPSE!*
  • Me: Oh look, I burned off breakfast, yay!
  • Me: Oh dear God this is the longest break between songs in the history of the life
  • Me: I will smash you with a hammer if you fall out one more time earbud. Seriously.
  • Me: Who glued cinder blocks to my feet?
  • Me: This still sucks
  • Me: I'm hungry
  • *Finishes run*
  • Me: Dude that was awesome!

Get it, girl!

Sprained ankle.

Capris torn, left knee scraped, right ankle swollen. I’m pretty sure I heard a crack, definitely made a sound. I can’t even walk. Debating if I should go see a doctor tomorrow. I’m more upset than anything.

  2. OT I volunteer under told me that I will be a great OT!Ā 
  3. Had a killer lunch. GLT baby ;)
  4. Biked 10+ miles in FABULOUS weather (60s in SANFRANCISCO)
  5. Ran 3 miles afterwards (6pm) with the puppy and there was still light out!Ā whaaaaaat
  6. Talked aimlessly to my best friend about nothing over the phoneĀ Ā

Recap on day one-seven (today)

Days 1-6 were filled with disappointment! I rather not relive it. The miles are marked on the calendar with the pace under it, if you’re interested. Lets just say that my first run’s stats caught me by surprise (in a bad way), but runs gradually got better as the week went on.

Day7; Crosstrain 6 miles.

Because I was disappointed with my earlier runs, I was pretty worried about this six miler. I use to be able to do double digits, and now three+ miles tire me out. I honestly didn’t know if I could still run six miles anymore.

During the run, my body was telling me I couldn’t complete the run. That I should just walk, and try again next week. My body was telling me to stop. It was hot, hilly, and I was so tired. But I didn’t. Instead, I went into a ā€œfuck this shit I’m running itā€ mode. and BAM. Six miles, and in a decent pace too.

It really is true, running is 90 percent mental, and the rest is physical.

Slowly getting back to double digits, like the good ol’ days. Be ready for me. :)
