Yaaaay!

After a terrible 2-week hump in which (for no valid reason) I had not run at all, I went today! Go me! And my distance isn’t that much worse for wear, to boot.

Not feeling too shabby (other than the guilt of not going in ages).

Man. I’m really afraid of losing my motivation, because this is the longest I’ve ever kept up my running streak, and I’m not quite sure what comes next.

I visited my parents last weekend, who live in the middle of nowhere. So I went out running while there, and just kept going for at least twice as log as I’m normally out for, because it was so scenic. I went past quite a few cows. So, maybe 4 miles, walking and running? More than I’ve ever done.

But I haven’t been out since, and I’m really scared I’m losing my gumption. Maybe I’ll force myself to go tomorrow morning.

Ack, what a love-hate relationship.

No run today.

Instead I think I’ll curl up into a ball and die.

I always find myself itching to run at the most inappropriate times. Like now. Which woulnd’t be too late if I wasn’t worried about getting hit by a car, or about the fact that I live in a pretty sketchy neighborhood.

My legs have sucky timing.

“To shut out everything else in my life. It’s solely me time and my time to think without interruption. I run for the serenity and peace.”

I love the looks of admiration I get when I’m running. I live in a community of students, and i can totally read it on people’s faces that they’re impressed with my motivation/time management.

If only they knew I am neither very motivated nor a good time manager. aha. But the running shoes tell otherwise :)

Who just ran nearly a mile?

Sun, 08 Apr 2012 20:07:08 -0400

This guy.

I say nearly because I had to walk for like .3 of it… but really, who’s counting?

First run in a week.

Back on the horse. The angry, slow horse. But that’s okay. Because I was so unmotivated (and I have been all week) and I went anyway, which is enough accomplishment for me, no matter how far I ran (which was not far at all.)

No more falling off the horse. No more week breaks for no reason other than emotional instability.

aaaarrrrggghhh i suck so much, it’s been four days. life keeps getting in the way.

It amazes me how much lack of sleep can sap your energy. Usually when I take a walking break, it’s because I can’t breathe, but today I walked more than ran because my legs felt so shaky.

I was out drinking for a friend’s birthday, and we didn’t get in till 2. So running after a seven hour sleep really wasn’t working for me.

Lesson learned, I suppose.

Getting closer to a mile!

I know a lot of people can throw around the phase “Oh yeah, took it slow, only 3 or 4 miles.” but for me, a mile is a big deal. It’s a landmark. It’s something that a month ago would leave me a wheezing mess on the sidewalk. But I’m getting so close!

I’d give it a week. A week and I’m there :)

That’s my goal right now.
