1. I haven’t run once this week. Not once. Not a single run.
2. Oh wait, I ran Monday. 1.8 miles.
3. I was supposed to run 87 miles this month.
4. I ran 44.
5. Mantra for August: Stop sucking. Be awesome.
1. I’m so disappointed in most of the adults in my life right now.
2. I decided to go ahead and do my five mile run after what feels like an explosion of disgusting and debauched news from various family members. I felt like I was in a particularly scandalous episode of Gossip Girl.
3. What is wrong with everyone?
4. It was pretty foreboding outside when I left and around mile three it started to pour and wild winds were whipping about. Lightning was flashing and thunder was cracking and booming. It was crazy and exciting and it felt so good because I was feeling so down about everything.
5. Running in foul weather makes everything a little better.
1. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Harris Teeter has frozen fruit on 3 for $10 until August 7th! xD
2. Yummy yummy. I love frozen cherries so much. I can eat them like candy.
7. Slowly dying from lack of food.
8. I have got to start eating more calories on my long run days >.<
I’m feeling kind of anxious and stressed out this weekend. This is a list of my reasons.
1. Yesterday was my father’s birthday. And originally, I wanted to do something really nice and fun, but now we’re not speaking. He initiated the not speaking when he told my my uncle was dying late one night about a week and a half ago through a Facebook message and when I asked him to keep me updated, he said okay. Two days later, I’d still heard nothing and found out from my sister that my uncle had died the day before. My dad still hasn’t spoken to me up until yesterday when, feeling horrible and riddled with guilt and anger, I sent him a happy birthday text. All he said was thanks. Bleh.
2. My opossum is ill. Yesterday morning I noticed her bottom looking rather swollen and by last night there were large sac like swellings that looked very very alarming. I got in touch with some rehabber friends on Facebook and showed them a photo of the affected area. They said just to keep a close eye on her, but hopefully it would go away within a few days if I followed their instructions on feeding. Also, I need to call the vet tomorrow morning and see about getting some refills on deworming meds.
3. One of my friends is graduating today and we were supposed to go and take my little sister with us. The girl is graduating from homeschooling though, and the ceremony or…whatever it is, is supposed to be at their church. I’m not against churches or anything, but it just seems like it’s going to be a little awkward because we’re not going to know anyone there except for our small circle of (much younger) friends. What with the awkwardness, the busyness of today, having stayed up till 2am because of the opossum and because I don’t want to leave her alone today, I called my little sister to say that I didn’t think we’d be going to the graduation. Of course, she doesn’t want to go if we don’t go, but it’s obvious to me she wants to go, so that makes me feel bad. Not to mention, I don’t want to disappoint our friend by not going either. It just seems like it’s going to be too much for today though…
4. AND of course I have to do a 10 mile run tonight.
5. Plus our house is a dirty messy wreck, and part of the reason I don’t want to go to the graduation is because all my clothes are dirty and I feel like I have nothing appropriate to wear >.<
6. So, all in all, what I really want to do today is curl up into a little ball and not deal with anyone. It doesn’t help that just generally lately, I have been feeling rather antisocial. I just don’t want to deal with people -.-
Rainy afternoon
1. I did my five miles last night and it was AWESOME.
2. It reminded me of why I love running. I actually only did 4.8, but I still averaged around 9 minutes per mile.
3. I feel really good about it :D
1. I’ve been lousy about posting this week. Apologies.
2. I’ve been lousy about running as well v.v
3. I did my 9 miles on Sunday (in pathetic time) then hardly did anything to recover on Monday. Tuesday was a scheduled rest and yesterday I was supposed to do 3 miles and just skipped it >.<
4. I don’t know why, but I’m just not feeling motivated this week :\ I can’t wait for Phil to get his cast off so he can start running with me. I think that’ll help.
5. 5 miles tonight. I will try my best to be awesome 8)
