30 Day Running Challenge -- Day 4

I didn't make it to the gym today.

I tried. After work I bought Subway and Starbucks to try to save time and energy, but I fell right asleep on my bed. I just ate my sub and am so tired.

I'm just happy that I'm getting the rest and food I need. I'm also sitting here drinking gallons of water and chompin' away on my vitamins.

So today is my Get Out of Gym Free card day.

Tomorrow morning, I'll be back there.

30 Day Running Challenge -- Day 3

Having gone last night, going this morning was a little bit harder than normal. I don't know why I have this block about mornings -- why am I always trying to push it to later in the day? I don't know.

But I've made it to the third day! Finally! No more sickness or business to keep me back -- I MADE IT! AND!-- through my first morning. I'm proud of these two things.

Today at work, I will walk down to the sushi store at lunch, all by myself. I will order the big tuna and salmon combo, the one with the maki AND the nigiri. I will probably have a flavoured iced tea too. Mm! :D

30 Day Running Challenge -- Day 2

This time at the gym, it was all jogging!

YAYAYAY! :D

I thought I felt my heart skip a beat at 7:40 minutes in. I hope not. :( My heart is slightly irregular, in that it has a hole in it. I hope I don't break it or anything! I need it for LOVE and things, y'know? :)

Okay, time for a shower, then to finish my dress.

Tomorrow's going to be quite the day! I've got the UBC Poetry Slam Finals to attend -- hence the dress -- but that means I'm going to be back at the gym in less than ten hours. ACK!

30 Day Running Challenge -- Fail

Got sick. Can't run.

GRR.

Get better. Try again.

I think I'd be more mad about having to stop if I thought I wasn't going to finish this.

But I am.

So whatevs. You can't take me down, sickness!

30 Day Running Challenge -- Day 1

Despite feeling ill, despite having lost my glasses, despite my gym being closed, I went for a run because today is the first day of my 30 Day Running Challenge.

I ran.

I ran.

I spat.

A lot.

I tasted blood.

I spat more.

I ran.

I threw up. (Sorry, East Van neighbour! :( )

I ran.

I ran home.

I threw up again.

I'm swaying.

And trying not to throw up again.

BUT I RAN.

DID YOU HEAR THE PART ABOUT HOW I RAN?

YEAH.

THAT WAS ME.

I DID THAT.

Okay, going to die now...
