I know no one missed me, but I missed me! Hahaha. I've been in Wisconsin for a little more than 2 weeks, breaking my ass cooking in the kitchen for about 400-800 people for a little less than 12 hour work days. It was...eh. Hell.
If I didn't have the people that I had working with me, then I would have absolutely hated it. I'm glad I get along with my co-workers, seriously.
My personal life has been...................... well, got to keep my head up right? Just broke up with my boy friend of 1 year and 2?1? month respectively, mostly because well - we lead different lives. He's a douche bag, more or less. I kept getting egged on by my friends to break up with him and I just didn't see it until I did break up.
There was a lot of reason to do so, and when I came back from training in WI (I had no service), lo and behold I see some face book raunchy picture of him and some girl and I didn't even question it, but broke up immediately after that. Right after he changed his status to "In a relationship with ___(the girl)". The level of disrespect and insensitivity was AMAZING. It blew me away, I really thought he was better than that. At least wait a week lol. And it also dated it back to Aug 14, when I came out of training on Aug 16, and we broke up in Aug 17. That's cool.
It's been hectic.
Anyway, back to other things...
Guess what just happened to me less than 30 mins ago!
Sorry for my gross pedicure LOL. Yeah, that's right. Went running with my new shoes today............and got caught in a dust storm......and rolled my ankle hahaha. I actually rolled it before I got caught in the dust storm about 0.5 miles in. I finished it off 1.5 miles and walked a couple of times to test out my ankle. Came back and now it hurts, but hopefully if I keep my ghettofied icepack all wrapped up and nice, by tomorrow it will be a lot better.
Did my 2mi mark test today, and although I did stop a couple of times because of the air (MY GOD IT'S SO DRY), my time was at 17:82!
1 mi at 8:47
2nd mi @ 9:37
3rd mi (not really) it was 0.60 which was at a 10:02 speed which was surprising, ending my work out at
| 24:23.9 | 2.60 |
Quote from my other journal entry: "8:54 and I felt great about it, compared to 8:57"
I went down by at least 10 seconds! Yayyy!! It's a long way from a 16:00 or even a 15:36 but I'm so proud to see PROGRESS.
If my ankle feels better tomorrow morning, I will definitely test another 2mi but without a fuel band (I brought a 8oz water bottle and a 8oz fuel water, and I ended up drinking the 8oz and a little bit of the fuel).
It's a saucony progrid guide 6, and this is the first shoe I got from an actual running specialty store! I was really stoked when I went in but I wasn't so stoked when I went out. I have no idea if these are the shoes FOR me, because I love my Adidas (those are my magic shoes) but I love how it's kind of supported. Apparently I over pronate so hopefully this will make it better (?)
Surpsingly I rolled my ankle in these even though it's supposed to support my ankles. :/
I'll give these a two day run trial...if I don't like them, I'll definitely return them.
My collection of running/ jogging/ walking shoes! Starting from the far left, cycling shoes, (and top), my new Saucony's, my magic Adidas, and on the bottom, my old jogging pair of Nikes, and my other jogging pair of Nike Lunaglides and the last is my gym and walking Nike Lunaglides. (Yes I have the same pair but in different color, don't judge).
I noticed when I was cleaning I had a bunch of supplements too. Do you even lift bro? Hahaha! I need to start eating these and actually changing up my diet lol, my diet is SO BAD.
NOW MASSIVE POST UPDATE FROM WISCONSIN:
I ran about 6 days out of 18 days I was there, and the last week I neglected because well...I was busy doing other things ;) LOL. I actually walked the last 7 days (around a 5-8mi) walk so it actually was not that bad.
GREENERY!
Then I ran again with E but my watch died so I have no idea what it was LOL.
The next run was with E, M and I! It was REALLY fun, I told them it would be a 2 mi (LOL) and at 2mi they were like "are we done yet???" And I told them it was only 1mi hahahaa. at 4mi and at 5mi E tackled me to the ground furious, "WHAT MILE ARE WE AT" and they were so mad at me because I took them for a 7mi instead. E was falling out around 4mi, our pace was a good 11 too!
The next was a self run, a 2mi boring.
Long run was with E and I, M didn't want to go anymore. We actually got lost LOL and ended up circling the same building twice hahah! E actually DID NOT fall out and I was so proud of him (: I was proud of my self too, this was the longest I ran! 11.02 YAY! Almost a half marathon! I didn't drink any water through the whole thing and didn't even have a fuel belt, but that's a totally different story in arizona now...I almost died @ a 5k few days ago when I came back from Wisconsin.
This was actually an anger run because the kitchen was falling apart and everybody was getting mad at each other. Cleared my head and E's head too.
The cafeteria at night
Then back to Arizona::
...
what happened you ask?
I DIED.
I don't know if it was the week of NOT RUNNING or the heat (ps. it's both) but I did the first mile @ 8:59 (paused my watch and had breaks...pretty sure it was at like 13:00 lol) and did the second at fucking 17:32, almost dehydrated and wanted to die.
It was BAD.
I need to hydrate more...drink a gallon of water...
