Just wanted to give a quick update, as now that I’ve spewed the vile stuff out, I feel purged of it.\u00a0 I’ve been in a much better mood today.\u00a0 It might also be that I’m finally wearing the skinny jeans that haven’t fit since vacation and the scale put my back into the 153’s, but whatevs.\u00a0 I’ll take it any way I can get it.<\/p>\n
4-day work (out) weeks.\u00a0 I had much success doing them.\u00a0 Those 4 days were hell on wheels and I spent literally 2 hours from changing into and out of my gym clothes, but I did see some decent progress.\u00a0 Zliten was kind enough to remind me of that.\u00a0 While I am enjoying the 30 mins here, 20 mins there I’ve been doing (and it certainly added up to just as much if not more than I was doing in my 4 day plan), maybe my body likes the marathon sessions and more rest days.\u00a0\u00a0 Something to ponder if I’m still not seeing results, though that goes out the window as soon as half training starts.<\/p>\n
Stress.\u00a0 I like to discount it, because while I love plans and schedules and lists, I also am usually pretty low on the stress-0-meter.\u00a0 Whatever happens at work, usually stays at work.\u00a0 My home life is awesome sauce.\u00a0 But since the three pronged attack on my psyche came into focus, dust has been kicked up around here and I guess I am feeling a little more tense than normal.\u00a0 I find occasionally I can’t go back to sleep and sit up thinking about shit.\u00a0 Which is very, very not normal for me, especially since I started running.\u00a0 Running = sleep like a baby all night.\u00a0 So once Zliten is back to work and the wedding is done, things will calm down to about normal and I can relax.<\/p>\n
Stability.\u00a0 I was an idiot and starved my way through my half training, at least I think.\u00a0\u00a0 Zliten thinks I am also eating now more than I did then (except a heavy meal once or twice a week before long runs) and I am running 6 miles a week to my 25 then.\u00a0 My body is probably trying to figure out what the heck is going on and is just getting readjusted to having enough food.<\/p>\n
I am going to take my skinny jeans wearing, mood-swinging, stressball ass to the bridal shop for my dress fitting now.\u00a0 Ciao, bellas.\u00a0 More later.<\/p>\n
