I don't understand half of the references on my...
So many (what I presume to be) Hunger Games references.
It’s the same names over and over so I guess it’s Hunger Games.
Anyway it’s a little obnoxious because i haven’t read the books and don’t have a copy of the books.
(in Forrest Gump voice) That’s all I have to say about that.

For real application of anatomy to real life.
So I’ve been having some minor issues with.. Well, there’s no pleasant way of saying it, peeing, for the last couple of days.
Ironically, we just covered the urinary tract in anatomy last week.
Been having pressure right where my bladder is and some other things.
My suspicion: a UTI. Lots of things can cause it, and I’m pretty sure I know why but won’t share.
Go...
Wow that was TOUGH.
The running team that is associated with my main running store offered to let Jack Quinn’s runners do a speed workout with them today.
I literally almost threw up several times (though one could say that had to do with the amount of water I had right before and during the run)!
Workout was:
1 mile “easy” as a warmup (I tried to keep up with the fast people and ended up...

So I was talking to a friend at my running club last night, and I was telling him about my fear of swimming and how much I suck at swimming in general.
It’s going from swimming nothing to a mile over 6 weeks, so like, Couch to 5k but for swimming. Has you swimming three times a week, that’s not so bad.
It would encourage me to up my running and get me to swim if I have a plan to...

It's time to get my shit together.
I’ve really fallen off the wagon big time.
Letting a boy take up all my time, my valuable training and studying time. No bueno.
So today I get my shit together.
I have a couple of big days coming up.
Kalamazoo marathon May 6th, Colfax marathon May 20th.
And the one where looks matter the most to me: I’m flying to Miami on May 29th.
Even though I know weight loss is not a big...

I’m glad I recognized things were wrong as soon as I did. We don’t want a repeat of all of the years 2009 and 2010….

Oh Christine, thanks for introducing me to this. Also, thanks to everyone that responded to my last post. Proceeding with the “running away” bit on the matter.

The Frenemy.: You Should Seduce Yourself →
thefrenemy:
I think you’re a pretty good lookin’ lady. There. I said it.
I think you’re a such a good lookin’ lady, but baby, I don’t like you only for your body. Don’t worry, your body is slammin and all but you’re pretty nice too. I like you for your MIND. You got some funny things tumbling around in…
The Frenemy is just so on top of the posts that need to be written.
Things are not as they seem and that sucks a lot.
Lots of irony going on right now and I’m not happy about it.
Will be remaining cryptic for now.

Applying anatomy to real life?
Well, sort of.
So one of the first nights that Wes slept over, when we were getting to sleep I was running my fingers along his clavicle and neck. Secretly, I was naming the bones and muscles that ran along those areas. He later asked me why I was doing that, so I told him I was just naming parts of his anatomy. He asks me to tell him what I was naming, so I did.
Now, this Friday night I...

Oh I was really proud of myself yesterday.
Besides running 18 miles, I maintained my food intake.
Usually after I do a long run like that, I eat anything and everything I get my hands on.
Instead for my post run meal, I had some Chipotle, the burrito bowl, not the burrito (I don’t like the tortilla), and when Wes and I went to Old Chicago later, I stuck with a salad and 2 beers (Don’t worry, my calorie intake was good, I...

Very few things beat..
Getting under your comforter in bed after just taking it out of the dryer. Mmmm warmth.
Went out to this trashy bar with my friends and stayed relatively sober.
Which means the bar sucked. I can only be there and enjoy myself when I’m wasted. It’s sad.
Also, this cocky but cute runner dude from my anatomy class that was all “ooooh I got an A” after our last test...

Rest of the month goals:
And hopefully keep up forever, but you know, baby steps.
I need to work on my dental hygiene like, hardcore. My teeth are not all that pretty. I’m lucky they’re perfectly straight, and I know I have a pretty smile, but my teeth could look nicer and healthier.
So I’m gonna work on flossing at least once a day and brushing my teeth twice a day. Wes is always brushing his teeth...

Not that I’m in a relationship or anything.
But wow. It’s so easy.
Bored? Let’s go out to eat.
Can’t think of what to do together? Eat.
He has nothing to eat in the fridge (literally, it reminds me of fight club. Refrigerator full of condiments.)? Go out to eat.
And we don’t spend much time at my place, because he has his own place and I have roommates....

I've been getting the best sleep ever this week.
I swear, this guy’s got me on a responsible adult schedule (helps that he’s military so he has no choice but to get up every morning really early) and it’s so great.
I’m not used to going to bed every night at the same time to wake up at exactly the same time. It’s weird. But I don’t mind going to sleep at 11pm. It’s pretty nice. Slept over at his place...

Ever get the feeling that you work with idiots?
Well, I do. Just one idiot.
And now thanks to her I have to write out an apology letter to a professor for a mistake I didn’t actually do.
Just because this girl didn’t want to make a new folder. So lovely.
Not.
On the bright side. It is the boy’s (I don’t know what to call him. He’s not my boyfriend. He’s just. A boy. That makes me smile a lot.) birthday...

Things I love about being in shape:
Remember how I did the Incline on Thursday?
Well, I did it again. Yesterday.
And that was with running 17 miles the day before. No soreness from either.
I think that’s pretty awesome.

You ever have one of those times when things just...
Well, I usually don’t.
Never been with someone more affectionate than me, nor have I seen/gone out with a guy even three nights in a row without him being a boyfriend. But I just feel so comfortable with this one.
This is about all I’ll say about this. Let’s not jinx things.

That dress I was wearing last night?
Was wearing it for a reason. I had a date!
And…it was really fun. So fun, in fact, I “accidentally” slept through my alarm to go run early this morning. Oh well he didn’t mind, and neither did I! Will be going soon. Totally worth missing running with the group this morning.
He was really really nice. And stuff.
Have 17 miles scheduled today.

My thoughts on walking during a race.
swimbikeren:
I know there are plenty of runners out there who view walking as sacrilege in running races. I know there are plenty of runners who think that if you walk, you aren’t a runner. That’s fine. I have no problem with happily agreeing to disagree with you.
I did C25K like so many others have. I walked and shuffled and then learned to walk and jog and eventually learned to walk and...

Active recovery!
I’ve been meaning to try doing the whole active recovery thing for awhile but hadn’t gotten around to it.
So today I had time, so I went and lifted and stuff.
Warmed up with rowing, then did upper body weights.
Followed that with an hour-ish of cardio.
1.55 miles on the treadmill. 17 minutes.
8.6 miles on the bike. 45 minutes.
Biking is hard.
[Also, great job...
