Is what was for breakfast, amongst other snacks during the day. The only healthy meal I had for the day was lunch.
No run, just stretches and some more hula hooping.
Tomorrow, run I shall.

Woohoo!
The weather has started to dropped in Sandy Eggo recently...yes yes yes, I am well aware that 56 F isn't really THAT cold, but for us that live in the sunny Sol Cal, it is COLD. Anyways, after a very long day that included trying to siphon 19 gallons of water from an incubator unsuccessfully, working with data and feeling that nothing else was done, and walking around work on a caffeine high I was ready to shower and go straight to bed once I got home. But somehow the running bug kept, for lack of better words, bugging me, I put my trainers on and braved the weather to the gym for a run.
And boy, am I glad that I forced myself to go out on a run! After a week and half of starting to run again, I was able to run 2 miles in 28min and 47 seconds!!! Woohoo!! that is like average 1 mile per 14.23 minutes!!! YAY! I can finally run 2 miles within 30 minutes. Hurrah!!! I'm so excited! I understand this probably won't be the same case tomorrow, but none the less I would like to pat myself on my back. :)
Maybe that goal of 30 miles a month might just be doable after all.

Fatigue
The soreness from yesterday's yoga is definitely carrying through and every raising movement I have my arms do make me wince and hiss. I suppose this really means that I stretched my muscles good yesterday! Hopefully this elasticity will be ingrained in muscle memory and today's rest will only mean that I will be able to do more next time.
Due to fatigue, I forgo-ed today's run. >_< I will definitely get back on the treadmill tomorrow!!! My goal for this month will be running for a total of 30 miles. Assuming that I will keep the current pace up through Thanksgiving festivities I will definitely make it!
Go! Go! Go!
Recently at work, it has been an interesting ride; ex supervisor constantly dropping in left and right, co workers getting vacation whenever they wish for, and some co-workers slacking their ass off while getting praised and me on the other side working and just looking at them in bewilderment. Life can be a bit biased at times.
Hopefully the pendulum of fairness will swing my way soon. Sigh. Till then, Allie, just keep running, writing, reading and staying true to yourself!

Yoga = Soreness
Today, instead of running, I went to do Bikram Yoga. Yoga totally kicked my butt. Returning from a hiatus of 2 weeks and jumping in after a night of partying at friend's wedding does not equal a very happy body.
For the most part I was able to make it through the class, but after class I just felt like a puddle of jelly, and muscle soreness in every fiber I possess. Blah. Tomorrow it will be a toss up between going to yoga again or getting my ass out there/on a treadmill and running again. In all honesty, I would much prefer running, however I bought a couple classes and they do need to be used up soon, dilemmas dilemmas.
I suppose it all depends on how everyone else (I have buddies) feels by the end of the day.
Aside from soreness, I manage to clean up the apartment, do laundry, and bake an apple cinnamon cake with cream cheese frosting! Yum.
Hope ya'll had a great day!

Update
Today I don't have much to say. Other than the fact that I am exhausted from work and working out for the past couple of days. I feel a bit weak that my body is caving so easily. Is this because I am not sleeping normal hours?
Hopefully this will change tomorrow...except tomorrow is the big day for a friend of mine and I have to go early to help set up for his wedding. Poohie, I hope I don't dissolve into a puddle of mush and cranky-ness from being too tired.
That and I really really need to find time to go do more yoga.
Off to bed.

NaBloPoMo
Well, apparently when I heard about NaBloPoMo, it is already 4 days in. I suppose minus 4 entries in a month wouldn't be too bad; that and I suppose I can make it up by blogging 4 days into Dec. :)
Anyways, I decided to start running again thanks to Ben, from Ben Does Life, and Dr. Mama. I suppose starting to ease myself back to the running business is a bit hard, but with inspiration from those two cool cats, it would be a shame on me if I didn't at least gave it a go...again.
Last time when I started, I just ended a painful and depressing 7 year relationship. Overweight and depressed, I knew I had to do something to help myself get out of that funk and make it easier to breathe, so after reading Dr. Mama's posts, I ran.
This time, I am doing it for myself, for my health and for vanity. I want to wear a size 6 dress and not have to worry about sucking my tummy in or have to try to avoid the camera as much as I can. I want to be able to say, "yea I did a 5 mile run today, it felt good" in conversations. But most of all I want to look fucking amazing for once during my twenties (and keep it up), not just cute/adorable (the most common compliment I receive when I go out).
The logging of miles started this past Monday, 4.75 miles and counting.
Wish me luck bloggy world!
