So That I Remember

I think I was way too stressed out the last few days. Irritable, stressed out, pissed off...it was definitely the PMS.

New goal now: I'm training for a 5km run!

I found that focusing on weight really led me nowhere. You feel guilty eating, and no amount of exercise seemed like enough. I realized that when I focused on the exercise as a challenge instead, that was always when I got to my fittest level. So now, my goal is to train for a 5km run and actually compete in a race some time next year!

I ran today to test out my fitness level, and it took 33 minutes to the 5km. Holy crap, it got incredibly difficult near the end that I had to walk a bit. I always run 5km usually, but it's at a light level. Never running for a time like this. After doing some research online, I found people who could run it in 15 mins! That's insanity!! 20 mins could get you a medal in some places, but to win, you need under usually 15. That's around 12 mph, which is ridiculously fast. That's like...me sprinting the whole way. Haha, oh well, that's what the training is for!

Another thing is that I need to get out more. Doesn't matter what it is, just leave the house at least once a day! I've been cooped up in here for far too long!! Cherry is so lucky, having an awesome metropolis on her doorstep, whereas I'm stuck in shitty Richmond Hill. Damn the 'burbs.
