Not cool.
I’m out running my scheduled 12 miler, and right after mile 7 the pain in my groin muscle just became unbearable. It’s an out and back trail, and now I am just under 4.5 miles from my car. Air force boy lives by here but is at the base which is on the other side of town, and my mother says I have to wait for her to finish at the store. Mind you, it’s windy as hell out, and...

I slept really soundly last night for not having...
I dreamt and everything.
I’ve had a couple but haven’t really remembered them, but I dreamt about running last night.
I dreamt that I had gone on a trail run but the trail ended up turning into basically a swamp. What started as puddles ended up turning into waist-deep water. It was awful, my shoes got all gross, and all I thought about when I woke up was, “I hope I can still...

Pretty sure I've decided.
Especially after having watched the Royal Wedding, I am moving to England.
It’s just awesome.
And I want to go hat watching.
Only thing I’d have issues with is driving on the wrong side of the road. Lol.

Because I never pass up an opportunity to take...
I’ll of course participate in Progress Pic Thursday.
My initial progress, about a 10-15 pound loss.
And from November to now..
And from the original picture.. to now (same bra). :)
So yeah, about 25ish pounds lighter and still going!

Who just ran a PR on her 6 miler today?
This girl!
As far as I looked back on Daily Mile, this was my fastest.
1:09:37!
AND I got a negative split between the first and second half of the run! By a full minute! AND my average pace was under 12 minutes (11:36/mile)!
So yeah. I’m pretty excited.
From now on, “Lose Yourself” by Eminem will always be the last song on my runs. Always makes me dig a little deeper and...

An Athlete in the Making: Once upon a time, →
sarahgettinghealthy:
right before I came to school in September, I wrote a post about how I had gained 8 pounds in two and a half weeks. And I felt like I had failed. I was binging and nervous and unhappy and eating and gaining and I could barely face myself or tumblr. And a brilliant girl reminded me that just because I had gained some weight didn’t mean I shouldn’t recognize how far I’d...

Without the gym,
I have been the laziest person EVER (ish).
I didn’t run today. I’ve been home basically all day doing nothing.
I don’t have weights, and since technically I worked out my abs yesterday there’s no need to do them again.
So that’s why I need you lovelies.
Suggestions for an at home workout/exercises I should do?
One thing I can’t do are things that require me...

Gotta love being a girl..
[this is NOT a shark week post]
and our gift curse of overanalyzing EVERYTHING.
So I told you guys about Air Force dude that I met at my friend’s on Saturday night.
I told you he was cute, has an amazing Southern accent, and is super active.
Well, he and I have been texting back and forth since Sunday, and for once I haven’t been doing all the work. He’s been texting me right...

Holy Shit Batman.
I don’t think I want to give my number to a boy from OkCupid again.
This kid messages me on there, says capoeira seems awesome and that I’m cute, and his profile says he practices jiu jitsu so I responded.
I should’ve seen the crazy signs, but didn’t.
He asks,
“I hope you don’t mind that I’m 19 though I actually turn 20 in a few months :) Can you tell...

Back to square one, I guess..
So remember last week when I said my mom had come into contact with my dad and he agreed to pay what I needed for school? And because she got so happy I got excited.
Well, I was incredibly skeptical of this, considering I haven’t spoken to the man in like 4 years, I even told my mom, “Until I see that check in my hand, I don’t believe it.”
And now I’m pretty sure I...

This is what I do at 3am.
Mess around with my theme on tumblr.
Got tired of the one I’ve had for like, months.
It’s like rearranging your room, without all the work! Lol.
I think it’s pretty..
Ok. Should go to bed. Good night lovelies!
P.S. Air Force dude wants me to go on a run/hike with him and his friends on Saturday. :)

So I get a little jealous sometimes..
Not fitness related.
I get jealous of couples.
I don’t NEED a guy by any means,
I don’t NEED to be in a relationship.
But sometimes, when I see those cute pictures of couples having fun, not even being all PDA lovey dovey, I’m just like, WHY CAN’T I HAVE THAT??
Someone I’m comfortable around, maybe someone to workout or run with.
Just, someone I like to spend...

letsbeanimals replied to your photo: Finally finished filing! Only took almost 4…
ahh what is all that?
Haha, THAT is every bill, paycheck, letter, and all the tax and student loan information I have acquired in the last 2 and a half years. RE-diculous.

I think I should've done this a looong time ago..
Been meaning to sort through everything since like November, and today’s when I decided to get around to it. FML. I’ve managed to sort out what needs to be thrown out vs. what needs to be filed, it’s not pretty..
What’s getting thrown out..
To be filed..
So. Much. Stuff.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Woot Taper Time!
Which means, less running, which means, no more eating everything and anything in sight that won’t make me sick. Gonna watch what I eat, it’s not like I’ve been eating super crazy, but maybe I’ll lose a little bit of weight before the race? And it’ll make me faster? Maybe? I’d love that. I don’t have any specific goals, I just don’t want to gain...

How ‘bout, instead of designing advanced body scanning machines to tell us what sizes to buy in a given store, we just effing start using actual measurements in clothing sizes like they do for teh dudez? I know it might offend our fragile sensibilities to know the actual circumference of our waists and the length of our inseam, but it...

Feeling surprisingly refreshed for having run 20...
Enjoying a yum chocolate peanut butter banana protein shake, watching LOTR: Return of the King, and getting all my veggie ice packs in order on my legs.
And my legs aren’t feeling as lead-like as they have after previous runs, I can somewhat easily go downstairs without suffering much.
Happy happy.

I can move again!
I took a HOT shower. Like, really hot. I thought about an ice bath or cold shower, but I feel like I was just running through a cold shower for the last like 3 and a half hours.
I ended up with more blisters, I figured out that it’s from running in the rain. Especially some of the huge puddles that were like ankle deep that I ran through. And in the last 3/4 mile the trail went from...

I have 20 miles to run today.
Holy shit.
Peak training day.
Haven’t even gone to the store to get my little gatorade things.
It’s cloudy out, have no idea what to expect when I’ll finally go, but I wanna leave soon.
It’s technically only two more miles than what I’ve run previously, but, still. Woah.
Just a little scared.

Win.
Watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows with my mom. I mentioned wanting a deathly hallows tattoo, and, her being totally against tattoos, said “that’d be so cute!”, and then suggested I should also consider getting the lightning bolt tattooed on my body as well. My mom never ceases to surprise me..

Gotta love the irony in my life.
I’m running the big 2-0 tomorrow.
Weather has been wonderful these last few weeks.
Right now?
It’s snowing.
Like, gross, wet, slushy snow.
Like I’m not nervous enough for my run tomorrow, right?
Oh, and the other awesome bit.
I didn’t go out to get my gels for my run today.
Tomorrow is Easter. The running store is closed.
FML.
Gonna have to go to Walmart and get...
About to watch Madea's Big Happy Family.
