Gordita a Flaquita

Flashback Friday: Prom 2007.

This used to be my favorite picture ever. Fun fact: I was prom duchess, basically third runner up for prom queen. I was really surprised and excited… until I found out the teachers voted. But hey, I got a cool sash!

I have never, ever had to stop to pee on a run before. But today I decided to drink a pot of tea before I left. And I peed twice before I left. And the second I started running, I was searching for a bathroom. Mile 2 I was getting desperate, hence the speed. Thankfully I found one. One I will hopefully never, ever have to use again.

It was hot and humid and my knee got wonky near the end but I did it. Almost without stopping. One walking break during my last mile because of said wonky knee, but otherwise I powered it out. Proud.

Oh hey pedicure!

I haven’t painted my toenails in the LONGEST time, but tonight I felt the urge. Loving this green color!

In other news, I’ll be running tomorrow on my day off. Today it hit me that my 10k is actually pretty soon. I’m not necessarily “poorly” trained, but I could be training better. Oops? Excited though, because even if I’m running slow, I’ll be running through the zoo!!!

Hey body, it’s probably been awhile since I said this, but thanks for being awesome even when I’m not so awesome to you.

Yesterday was a crummy day. More womanly/hormone debacles (finally calling the doc about that early morning tomorrow), general stress, body shaming, overall sad attitude towards life (sorry Derek).

Today, I ran. I started out quite literally cursing the world. “Why am I out here? So many people out today. And they look so happy. Ugh, fuck them. Just get this over with.” Which eventually turned into “oh look at this beautiful day and all the miles I’m running and I still haven’t stopped and yay I’m running a race soon!”

Reminder to self: make time for running. Even just a few miles. You’ll feel better, promise.

Sup Tumblr?

Fact: the best part of having your own apartment is sitting around in your underwear whenever you want.

In other news, I’m digging my hair today. It’s super soft and kind of curly but not crazily so. Perfect.

I have been working SO MUCH lately. Beautiful weather = business = 40 hour work week. And when I get home I’m just so exhausted all I want to do is crash on the couch for a few hours. So Derek and I have been watching so much Adventure Time.

I kind of regret not running. I WANT to, but my body is just SO exhausted at the end of the day. And I just haven’t woken up to do it, either. It’s ok though. I promise it’s ok.

Chicago, I love you.

Met Laura and Rebecca for a delicious dinner and yes, we did partake in part of those kegs. The Internet never fails to entertain, calm, and guide me to the nearest train stop. The conversation’s okay too. Sometimes. I guess. So many awkward silences…oh wait. Nope, not even one of those. :)

Now I’m on my way to sleep in a hostel for the first time ever and preparing for a full day of yoproing tomorrow. If you get a chance, send some good vibes my way, please.

When the Internet helps complete a wonderful day.
It was easy conversation, laughs, and Tumblr love.

:)

Surprise Tumblr nights are the best.

Good morning!

I woke up feeling so. much. better. Like, I was ready to jump out of my bed and go running. Except I had to get ready for work. So instead I ironed my hair and started up some coffee.

I’m working til 4, so I’m hoping to redeem yesterday’s miles by running around 5-6 tonight. Also, last night Derek and I started watching Adventure Time. It’s super super weird (and generally cartoons are my favorite), so it took some easing into. And now I’m kinda loving it.

Happy Monday!

Bad body days.

They’re hard to get over. I wanted to run today. I did some errands, came home, and had planned to run. I ended up lying in bed and sleeping for ten minutes. I berated myself for my inadequacy. I felt my fat on my stomach and felt terrible about it. I tried on my work pants and felt how snug they were getting. I try to convince myself I’m bloated but then tell myself I’m being ridiculous.

I try to make myself feel better. I take a shower and shave and paint my nails. But I just feel off.

So I never ran. I did eat ice cream. And my stomach still feels so bloated. Bad body days are just hard to get over.

Was having one of those days where I’m ravenous and tired and headachey for no real reason. So I stuffed a few different things in my mouth just because.

And finally, finally this everything bagel at Starbucks seems to have done the trick. And no, I will not be looking into how many calories it has. I was hungry, I ate, and I shouldn’t stress about it.
