244th-Tuesday

Seriously... NOTHING special.

but lets just hear what's on my mind today.

I'm really itching to run. And since I can't, I eat a lot. Really, I am craving everything, and to tell you the truth, I'm sort of enjoying the luxury of eating. I've been chomping cupcakes, cliff bars, huge amazing salads, and chocolate. But in no way has this replaced running. =[

In place of running, yoga has been my fallback plan. Marie got this amazing yoga matt and it seems to always be out nowadays since I'm using it constantly.
this is what I'm practicing:

Scorpion pose

I've only gotten to a "forearm handstand"...soon.

From this whole "break" from running, I've learned a lot of things about myself and I'm going to try to incorporate a few things once I start training again.

1. my legs actually feel a lot stronger once I healed from the race and stayed "off" my feet. Really, I can feel a HUGE difference just riding my bike or walking around. I think this has to do with the fact that while training, I stopped "resting" and "stretching" enough. So, in lieu of that, I will make sure I rest between each run and focus more on quality of the runs rather than the mileages of my weeks. I know I say this over and over again, but I think I've learned the hard way and I can't afford another injury.
2. I'm going to start doing at least 30 min of yoga in the morning to really loosen my muscles so they can heal properly each day. And after each run, I will stretch, use a foam roller, and ice if needed. This is seriously important so my ligaments don't tighten up and cause pressure injury.
3. I'm bringing water with me on each run, no exceptions. I've noticed that hygrations has had a major affect on my rebound between each run. I didn't want to have any "extra" weight, but I really need to make a huge difference on my consumption of water. period.

Those are my 3 major points that I want to focus on in order to improve my endurance. Also, since I'm almost officially out of school, I will hopefully get more sleep. 

Thank you for listening!

What's your favorite yoga pose?

-Plank. booya!

245th-Final

I had school today. And before that... I finished an essay, studied in math, and began writing my captions for Journalism class... I didn't manage to get to English on time, but I did hand in my rough draft (which I'm sadly not too happy about)

Math went smoothly, I got an 84% on my math exam (finals are next week) and my teacher is happy with me =]

and here was my Journalism Final:

246th-Stand-up paddling

So, after my last day of work for this week, I was sooo excited to hear that loren wanted to take me stand up paddle surfing.
we got there at 5 and the place closed in an hour but the sun was still up till 8 (and apparently there was also an eclips...which I totally didn't check out...that would have been awesome)

stand up surf is sooooo different than normal surfing. First of all, your standing up the entire time and Loren kept on falling...like every other sentance I heard "aww fuck" then SPLASH. I was laughing soo hard.

I managed to catch one wave...on my butt (like you do while on a skate board)

Overall I had a BLAST and I can't wait to do it again...


About training... I think my feet are about ready for a jog...I'm going to test the waters on wednesday, or maybe earlier. I don't want to push myself into another injury, I just want to see if I can start training again... I miss it.

247th-Something about a bike

I just LOVE riding my bike. Seriously, if I could die doing something it's either be that or running (but don't be afraid, I'm not too reckless)
Lately I've been really cautious about my safety while riding and always wear my helmet, have my tires pumped, and lights when the sun's not out (or when it's foggy)

Bet, biking is also something that I get really burnt out doing. When it's twice or three times a day and its hot and I smell at work and school...I can get really hate my bike.

but all is good.

What's your favorite sport?

248th-workworkwork

This is when work gets me down. When I stayed up all night studying for school when I have to wake up at 5 for yet another day at the Cafe. Booya! and it was another long day for me. Luckily Loren went shopping and bought me red velvet cupcakes. This will fuel my happiness.

I apologize for the week lacking of posts...we still haven't gotten are internet up so I am squatting at cafes (including my own) to get a post in every chance I can.

Thank you for our patients.

What's your favorite cupcakes?
-Any thing Loren buys me, and lemon with raspberry frosting.

249th-core class!

I went to my all-time favorite core class at the the gym today! It was amazing as always.

My aunt has been begging me to hang out for a while now, but I just have been putting it off because of work/school. And now I'm happy to say that I took her to her first class this morning! And she loved it!

quote "I thought it was easy at first, the class was full of old ladies and I though it was going to be a piece of cake. then about half way through, everything started to burn. I am definitely coming back!"

anyways, I haven't been getting great exercise lately, just biking around town, work, and school. So this class was great to really get some toning in, and I felt great after.

( I still can't wait to get into my running shoes again, I miss it soooo much!)

thanks for litening!

250th-saved by the bell

well, not exactly... more like"it's nice to be excused early fromwork because I have schoo,except school can sometimes suck too" go figure.

I have work at 6:30am this morning and stumbled out the door just in time (only because I had the car) and then I left early for school and dropped thecar off at home for loren and biked to school and made English class.

but let'sback up a tiny bit. Last night, I DIDN'T finish my essay. I litterally dozed off on my keyboards and woke up realizing that even if I tried to write any longer, it would all be gibberish and nothing worth turning in for a grade.
That night, I slept like a baby...for a total of 4h...booya!
but I woke up to nightmeres... I tried to think of a plan to finish, check, and print my english paper within the total of 0 minute I had to fit anything in. Basically, If my teacher wasn't going to accept latework, I was skrewed.

But no, I'm the Idiot in this situation (thankfully) and didn't know it wasn't due until next MONDAY! seriously! today was (apart from being sleep deprived and freaking out about my math exam that I did not study for) AMAZING!

ok, now, I'm off to my last class of the day and then finishing the paper tonight. no questions.


What stupid things haveyou been up to lately?
