In one of those moods

I have these moods in which it feels like running is the world to me.

Right now I am in one of these moods.

ASDHFKJAWEHREWURNAC.

So yeah.

Running isn't easy. I am a normal runner until about 70-80% through my run. Then I get weird. I start getting angry. Or weird. Like singing out loud. Or making weird faces. Or doing weird dances. Or making weird strides. This only happens if my run is longer than 6-7 miles though.

Oh. I finally "ran" 10 miles.

When I go for runs, I never JUST straight run. I need to take walking breaks. I think the longest I have ever run is about 3 miles in a row. That was during one of my most "zoned out" runs ever. It was down by zwicks, around the time waterfront was on. It was fairly early in the morning, so I was looking at a lot of the things being set up and such. Also there was a 2k 5k 10k that day part of the heart and stroke foundation. It was starting at 10am. I was probably around there around 9am. So I took advantage of the signs that showed me their path. And ran it. Yeah. I'm pretty cool.

But that wasn't my 10 miler.

My 10 miler... I was fine. Until 8.08 miles. Then I was like going crazy. It was hot as hell. Which was my main problem. It was 35 degrees celsius at that point. I started out at 24 degrees. But I was just like dying from the heat. I wasn't dehydrated. I had already had a lot of water at that point.

At 8.48 miles I said to myself "I must keep running until (certain bush that I recognize on my run) or else (insert person who is close to me's name) will die.". Yes. This is how I push myself. I am not even kidding you. I get scared shitless and run like hell. I know its not real. But I am scared it could be. So I run. I did it too. At that point I got to about 9.20 miles. From then to the 10 miles I sort of walked/jogged.

But I still did it. Under 2 hours. Which was my goal. People have ran half-marathons heck, maybe even full marathons, faster than my time.

But I alway remember: There will always be slower runners than me, and faster runners than me. I should only be concerned about myself and be proud of the fact that I did 10 miles in under 2 hours.

In heat.

Am I boring you yet?

Tomorrow I am just doing a 4 miler. As I think I posted before, I have a running schedule. Except for the fact that I am doing my Wednesday as my Monday. So each day follows (Thursday is tuesday, friday is wednesday, etc). So basically I have every Wednesday and Saturday off from running, and some other odd days.

Tomorrow is 4 miles. The next day is 12. 12 Fucking miles. What the actual.

I am getting up to run at like 5am or 6am that day. I swear it. I will not be hot and dying.

I want to run in the rain. It looks like fun, as long as I am not wearing something that sucks if I get wet. Like something that will cause me a rash or absorbs the water and holds onto it.

Besides running, today I did Bi's and Tri's at the Gym. Tomorrow I am doing... back and butt? No. That can't be right. Yes. Yes it is. Okayyyy. Then.. Friday I am running 12 miles. And I need to go to the gym. I might run the 12 miles in the morning and hit the gym in the afternoon. So that way I won't be dying at the gym. I will do... legs? OH GOD. WHY. WHY ME. WHY ARE LEGS ON THE DAY I RUN 12 MILES!?!?!?! Ahhhh.

I usually group my muscles I work on into 2 different types. Legs I always do all parts of legs, quads, calves etc for one gym sesh.

Here are the things I do :
- All parts of my Legs
- Deltoids/Shoulders
- Chest
- Abs + Core
- Back
- Butt
- Biceps
- Triceps
- Forearms

That seems about it.. right? I don't know.
OH WAIT. I need to do abs. Maybe I'll do Abs on Friday...

Saturday I am not doing the gym. I am not sure if I have a run on Sunday. Oh wait. Yes I will. Hmm. We'll see.

I am actually going for a walk right now.

So yeah. Bye.
Thanks for listening to my rambling. Reading. Not listening. If you can currently hear me talking I suggest you go see a doctor or something.
