I ran a 5k race yesterday
Overall it was great despite the heat (87° F or 30° C) which was really a nightmare. There was no timing or ranking in this race but I know I ran the 5k in almost 30mn which is wayy slower than I expected, goes to show how much the weather can sabotage running. I was really disappointed afterwards, but it is true that I haven’t trained AT ALL (seriously I only ran like 1.5 miles 2 days prior), so it’s not a surprise. Plus, it was about the fun really, and I was among the 10 first females among 3000+ participants. I just hope that next year i’ll come first overall in this race. Or maybe do the half marathon (and actually train for it :P )

I feel like
We spend all day hiding our feelings, our bodies, our scars, praying that no one will notice.
Then every night as we lie in bed we’re struck with the sorrow of no one noticing.

In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29. [Wiki]
I googled her because I had never heard of her and omg she’s awesome. Her account of this race. Read iiiiittt.
What an amazing story!
Wow
chills.
omg… and seriously 3:07??? amazing.

I don’t think you should wait to live until you are skinny, met the love of your life, have tons of friends, living in your ideal location, financially stable, graduated… etc. If you wait for the perfect time to do everything, you’ll never do anything!
I think that this applies to my life right now. I’m waiting to graduate high school, move out because I live pretty far and get in Med School until I actually start meeting people/maybe even have a boyfriend being a grownup. Because right now i don’t really get the chance to meet new amazing people since my social life isn’t really one (I do have amazing friends that I see everyday at school, but that’s it, I don’t go out much). i mean I do enjoy being alone and reading books (favorite thing in the world) and watching movies, and i am more of an introvert, but still, I’d like to be more outgoing and LIVE MORE.

Today was freaking perfect…
I went with my friends and ran on the park for like one hour…I have a blister in my right foot but that doesn’t matter i really need to buy new running shoes.Well, I was pretty speedy according to my friends and they couldn’t keep up with me, so I ran alone while listening to music. Some hot guys were staring at me while doing assisted pull-ups(I unintentionally corrected their form in my head). One even said to his friend: “Is she still running?”.. My friends told me I had amazing endurance… It just feels good to get back to running!!

I REALLY WANT TO WORKOUT TODAY
On Saturday, I did an Insanity video (it was tough since I haven’t really worked out in 2 weeks due to FINALS) and Sunday I ran 1km for like 6mn it was only a warm-up (Plus I’m scared of running, and I have lost a lot of my running endurance…that freaking sucks because I’m planning on running a 5k in May,13th or maybe even a half marathon but I guess that won’t happen) and I lifted for 15mn then I did one hour of yoga.I was too sore and tired Monday so I didn’t workout. Today I’ll be home by 7, I’ll eat dinner and then I BETTER WORK OUT. (I guess I’ll bike on the stationary bike or run or do an Insanity video.) I’m posting this to stay accountable, and also because hearing of/reading other people’s workout makes me MAD.I’m cool and competitive like that.

It’s fascinating
when I think about how far I’ve gone… This morning the scale decided I weighed 112 pounds… A few months ago that would’ve been my death sentence. But today, I didn’t even think about it than much, and I was totally fine with it.

I have to say,
It kind of feels great. Today, in the girl’s locker room, right before gym class, the girls were undressing and all. It is common knowledge that I am pudic, so I kind of hid in order to change my shirt, so the girls were all like teasing me about being shy, so an other girl said that it was out of modesty, because I didn’t want to show my “amazing” core (her words). So the girls asked her if it was true (there was this one jealous and hateful girl who was doubting it) but the girl kept on praising my stomach, so all the girls wanted to see it… Also, I joined our school’s debate club today. And I have to study for my math test. Like a lot. I’m dreading it and procrastinating. And all of my girlfriends aren’t single. In 30 days, I’ll be 18.
