23/30 & 24/30: Jogging and Food Posioning

23/30

So it's a good bet that the sushi gave me food poisoning. It was annoying. And it hurt too. Not the worst case ever, but my Monday run was more of a shuffle. A very slow shuffle with the dog and an umbrella. It was short too. Just a smidgen over a quarter mile. And it hurt to even do that. Why do I do this?!

Mostly because I didn't want to quit on day 23 or wherever I'm at.  I spent the early afternoon with my friend at the doctors office and wishing the sick had waited another day, since it was important that I was there, but being sick was not so great.

24/30

The next day I refused to leave the apartment.  I did the party dishes from Saturday.  I cooked pork chop dinner.  (Awesome! I wanted every week to have Pork Chop Monday, but when I asked my boyfriend, he pointed out that it was Tuesday...)  I also watched Firefly and finished a scarf for a friend.

My run was a shuffle for 3 blocks and then a groaning walk back with the dog.  Not so great.

25/30

So I haven't done much today outside of wake up, wash my face, get dressed in real clothing, do my makeup and go to the coffee shop, but I'm feeling great! (Especially now that I've finished my latte and whole wheat bagel with Nutella!) I'm so excited that I'm better!

AT&T is supposed to come over to our apt and do something with the phone lines so that I can have internet tomorrow.  But they said that they can't guarantee a time, or that they'll call to get into the building.  So I think what they're saying is I should wait on the steps in front of the building from 8am -8pm so that they can maybe get there eventually and not be inconvenienced by calling me to open up the apt for them.  They are total poop heads.  

I don't know what I'm gonna do for my run today, but I want to do three miles after the dummies come. I also need to get some Ada medicine. 

4/30: Jogging at the Beach!

After yesterdays jog I ended up crazy stiff.  I felt like I could barely move.  I spent like an hour and a half watching you tube music video's and stretching.  As the videos got more upbeat I started dancing.  Yes, I was dancing alone in a room with twin beds at 11:30 at night to YouTube videos. No, I'm not 12 (although I did feel like it for a bit!)  It ended with me working on my Gangnam Style dance.  I think I'm doing all right, but if anyone else wants to join in...

Waking up this morning meant confronting the fact that I really was sick.  Coughing and feeling rather gross my mom drove me to the pharmacy. The doc told me to go for an antihistamine with a decongestant chaser.  I followed this up with a 3 shot latte on my way to the beach.  By the time I got to beach I was feeling pretty good! I changed into some shorts and a sports bra and got ready for my run!

I decided to do my jog barefoot! ^_^ I'm so glad I tried it.  My toes squished in the sand and the waves sucked at my feet.  It was awesome!  Since I didn't take it easy yesterday I decided that I really should take it easy today so that I don't stay sick and so that I don't stay all sore and tense.  I only did a mile at a jog.  Then I walked another mile with my sisters! I also got to build a sandcastle with my brother in law. My legs feel like silk from all the exfoliation from the sand. I got to swim in the Gulf of Mexico.  The water and the weather were perfect.

Don't be fooled by how pretty the Gulf is though.  It's secretly evil! It stole my sunglasses.  I repeat. The Gulf of Mexico stole my sunglasses!! I love my sunglasses.  They made me look sexy California. They were a gift.  I miss them so much... *mutters* thieving gulf... 

Tomorrow I plan on doing three or so miles again.  1.5 in one stretch at a steady jog (on the beach!) and maybe another 3/4 at the very end.  By the end of this 30 days I really hope that I can do 3 miles steady and all at once.
