| This is my mantra today! |
Yesterday afternoon when I got off work I decided to head to the park and go for a run. I have the Cookie Dash 5K I am doing on Saturday. Lets just be honest for a minute...I am only running for the unlimited amount of free cookies after the race, duh! So, I take off and everything seems cool until I am about a quarter of mile in. I literally feel like I am going to die. I would so rather just pull a Fat Amy and sign up for horizontal running!
It really pisses me off and frustrates me so bad that I have become so out of shape. This time last year I could run 5 miles no problem and then head to a zumba class and give it my all. Around May of last year I started having major trouble with my IT Band and had to give up running for a while. Then I started working more and the gym kinda got put on the backburner all while I was shoving cupcakes and chili cheese fries down my piehole. I would still hit up the gym like once a week, but not giving it my all like I was when I was going six times a week. Then, this past January I was put on Accutane and OMG it has knocked me down even further. I couldn't even walk a half mile on the treadmill at first without literally hurling (tmi), I couldn't eat anything, and I literally ached all over my entire body. I talked to my doctor and I think I have the meds leveled out now and I have finally started getting back in the gym more regularly. Some days are good and some days are bad. Yesterday was BAD...proof is in the picture below!
This was me at the Cookie Dash last year! I had placed 2nd in my age group and also set a PR for my 5k coming in at 28:59. I couldn't have been more proud when I crossed that finish line. I have been dreading tomorrow's race like no other, but I have decided I am just going to go out there and have fun. It can't be too bad...at least there are cookies at the end!
Have a FAB weekend :)
xoxo, Blondie
