Well today was a weigh in day, and it was a tough one. I am back up to 200 lbs, I did not take measurements because I was all too focused on the positive change that I saw on the scale. I am really frustrated with myself for gaining back some weight, but I also have to remember that my whole schedule has been turned upside down since classes ended. Workouts have been hard to keep constant and eating has turned to grazing because I have nothing to do!
In honor of my messed up schedule I ran on a rest day. But unlike the last few runs, I completed the full mile of running at the end rather than run/walking it. This made today feel like less of a failure and more of an accomplishment. I am starting to see that the Shamrock Run is not just a dream, I am making progress towards a successful run and I am able to watch the times drop towards my goal of a sub 30 minute race.
One thing that has really been making these last two weeks hard is pain in my lower back. My sister, took a quick look at me and had some great observations into why my back may be hurting and why my right foot hurts when I am running. It seems that my right leg is almost an inch longer than my left. CRAZY!!! I finally have some sort of idea as to why my body deals with the stress of running so adversely. I am super excited to make an appointment with a prospective new DO in Corvallis to talk about how to remedy my problem.
I realize that the scale is saying one thing, but the track is saying another. I am getting fitter, I am making progress, and even though spring break might not be the date of completion I will make my goal of 150 lbs.
Q: What song gets you in the mood to shred on your workout?
A: "When I'm Alone"- remixed by Klaypex, The most amazing song to put on your running playlist. It will change your life, and if it doesn't... well.. you are probably dead anyway.
Oh, shout out to my #1 cuz! ya'll know who you are ;)
