Yes.


I am back in business! I am running the same amount I was before I injured my leg. So it took me what... 2-3 weeks to recover after I was aloud to start running. But yeah, I used to run about 6-7 miles, (not on the treadmill). I ran 6.1 miles today. So I consider myself officially back in business. I am going to aim for 7 or 8 miles on Tuesday morning. I think. Hopefully its not REALLY hot out then. 

I just want to run everyday! But my legs need rest. So I am going to wait until Tuesday to run next. I ran 6.1 outside today, and 6 miles yesterday on the treadmill. 

This should probably be on my other blog. My fitness blog. But I'll just continue here.

A Half-Marathon is 13.1 miles. I can do it. I know I can. Its just a matter of getting there. I have... less than 2 months left. Let me count the days. 49 days. I can so do it. 

But I am oddly having issues getting back into my "zoned out running mode". What I mean by this, is running without thinking about running. Because when you run, while thinking about running, everything becomes harder to do. And its hard to not think "Run slower, run faster, bounce more, stop pounding your feet so hard, breathe through your nose, your shorts are riding up, I'm thirsty" etc. But occasionally I can just think of other things, then running becomes easier.

Oh, I did some 100m dashes. The lines were sorta still on the track at Moira. So I decided to try it out. I didn't really have that legit of a stopwatch. But I ran the fastest time around 12.2 seconds. I was looking at average times online.. average for a runner is about 12-13, but basically you need to be under 11 seconds if you want to be good. I think I am going to train a lot more with the 100 m dashes. Go over to the track at moira like a weirdo. I ran 4 laps and 3 dashes there today. So I guess that was interesting. 

On the flipsideeee.

I realized that since I joined the gym, I am 100% more confidant with my body. I don't even feel like I look THAT different. Yes, I have more muscles. I haven't lost that much fat. SHIT. That reminds me. Tomorrow is my weigh-in/Body fat % check. But I just feel more confidant.

Like, I am willing to wear less clothes. BAHA. Sounds good. No, but I don't care about the little things as much. If I was ever sitting in a chair and my stomach would get a little bit squished by my pants, I used to freak. Now I don't care. 

I just think that I have made a complete 360. But landing in a different spot. So not a 360. Whatever, you get what I am saying. 

I just don't care the way I look as much anymore because I know I am healthy. I used to be unhealthy (as I have written at least 10 blog posts... most are deleted, about this topic, I am not going to repeat it), but now I am. I am happier now than I was then. Also, I am 15-20 pounds heavier than I was then. 

Also, now I can do pushups. 

THIS IS IT. BUT I HAVE SO MANY MORE THOUGHTS.

I have considered quitting sugar. I have considered quitting candy. But I am not sure. or Having "Meatless mondays". But I go days without meat anyways. Don't worry.. I certainly get my protein. SOY+GREEKYOGURT+PROTEIN POWDER FTW. 

Okay. Now. Bye
