Okay, so here’s my update. Feel free to gloss right over this... If there is even anyone even reading this to begin with.

After two weeks of not being able to work out- one due to injury/sickness, the other due to this intense need to pass my tests and therefore studying with the enthusiasm of a kindergartener on FUCKING COCAINE- I made it back to the gym. Twice. FML. I wanted to go more as I recently decided I’d like to run a 5K, but I was unable to do my Monday run due to studying. Friday I had to go to my (ungrateful) younger brother’s football game. Thursday I could have but my friends and I were scheduled to have lunch. I have only a 2 hour time frame to eat and get stuff prepared for lab so I didn’t bring workout clothes because I was SUPPOSED to eat with friends. 

Friend #1: “Yeah, I’m going to go home and study for my botany test.”

Me: “You literally have that class after lunch. If you go home then you won’t come back.”

Friend #1: “You know me so well.”

Friend #2: “Hey, I have an interview scheduled today”

Me: “Okay! Good luck!” 

So, I eat lunch all by myself *cue sad music* and mourn not bringing any work out clothes... Because I am not running on the treadmill in jeans and knee high boots. 

I may or may not get to run this evening provided that I am allowed this. Also if my family decides we aren’t eating tonight.

Still, the first day I worked out I was shocked that I wasn’t more dead than usual. I didn’t get to do as much as I had planned (30 min running, 30 min elliptical, 10-15 min stretching) due to class going waaaaaaaayyyy over. I had barely gotten to finish my run (an unimpressive 1.5 miles including 10 min combined for warm up and cool down) when my ride called to say she was there. FML.

Wednesday was my all-star game. Wednesday was the day I tried to seize the day by its balls like a cross-fit dude who’s on steroids. And I did. I worked out for an hour and a half. I did *intense* leg day. I ran a little more (same distance but my walk-run intervals are starting to inverse so the running> walking). I stretched and it was GLORIOUS. This may or may not sound weird but I *really* enjoy hip and glute stretches. They feel amazing. My theory is that from sitting all the time- class and homework making up a majority of my day- my lower back to my knees is super tight. So when I stretch them, it is easily the best part of my day. Evidently it was the best part of this old man’s day as he was “appreciating” my flexibility. Creep. (Sidenote: Am I actually attractive or is he just desperate?)

To follow up my beast mode morning, I spent 13 hours studying for a test at the library. Thirteen. Hours. I would like to say I do feel better on that test though.

Let me start by first saying it went awful. Like really awful.

I had been enjoying easy breathing and a steady increase in the amount of time I’ve been running. I run at a fairly decent pace- not too fast but enough that I can cover some ground. I’ve been running half of my mile before I’m forced to walk (though it doesn’t hurt to not run the last half. There’s a lot of dogs around my route and one of them likes to get out and chase people and other dogs because he’s very aggressive). It could be because all total I think I got 3.5-4.0 hours of sleep. It could be because I hadn’t done real vigorous exercise since Friday. I tried doing dynamic stretches since I had read static stretches weren’t good for you. I would like to say that I think static stretches were working just fine for me. But at any rate, I started out on my run after my short walk warm-up and almost immediately my knee began to hurt. It wasn’t like a sharp stabbing pain but it was definitely noticeable and it would happen suddenly and fade. Now my knee just feels completely weird, like it isn’t bending or working right.

Then there was the fact it was hot and humid as hell. I took my inhaler because the last few times I tried to run with humidity, I was drowning. Still, it made the heat feel so much worse.

Then there’s the fact I almost never work out after eating. I prefer to have my stomach empty because having food in it makes me want to and usually succeeds in making me throw up. But I waited about an hour and a half to go out, thinking that’d help. I guess in a way it did since I didn’t throw up. However, I felt heavy and horrible.

So, I kinda have this hill where I go to run/walk/hike mostly daily, I have been going there since more than two years (it's very close to my house), and I like it because of a lot of reasons, but specially because I usually never find people from school there.

Lately this girl (older than me, but still from my school) that I don't speak to has been going, and I didn't care about it. Until monday. She was with his boyfriend (my age)... and this boy from his grade which I don't get along well with.

It's awkward because I don't like the fact that he stares at me like if I nailed a pencil in his eye (notice the twilight reference), all because this time when he kissed me when I was in middle school (half and a year ago, so it's literally impossible). He is the popular kind, while I am just some sort of invisible person (I am not a loser, but I am definitively not popular). I guess he regrets it, and its embarrassing to him?

So on Tuesday I didn't go for a run, because of it. 

I don't know what to do. I don't have any other place to go for a run, because my dad is sick and he can't drive me, and I am still too young to drive for myself. I think I am going to the hill in an hour (I mean the climate is PEEEEEERFECT, is cloudy but is not raining, and if it rains, it's going to be even more perfect), and if I see him, I am going to act like I didn't.

So this has been going on since freshman or sophomore year..

Whenever I run for longer distances for practice, my calves get kind of tight and uncomfortable and then my arches get numb. Like literally numb and I can't feel anything in my feet. It somehow cuts off circulation or something to my feet/arches. It just feels scary when that happens cause I don't wanna pop a nerve or something. If that's even possible. And in order for the blood to go back down to my feet, I have to stop and wait.
