Mood: little easier to wake up this morning, finally got up at 5 again so we could make sure to run before it got hot.

Weather: pretty hot and muggy, but not as bad as yesterday. might could leave even a little earlier before the sun is totally up.

Convo: visualizing traffic and engagement, gratitude

Nutrition: smoothie for breakfast, oj after. switching it up to smoothies for BF now instead of the fruit salad. does seem a to digest a lot easier. we’ll see.

Effort: 3/5 this still seemed pretty hard today for some reason. i think its maybe just because it is getting hotter in the mornings. its just really hard to keep my breath regulated. i was thinking maybe the pollen might have been up today too, and they may have affected breathing. not like i bothered looking it up or anything, though. well, we didn’t beat our best time, but we did match, so i think that’s pretty fucking good, considering how hard it was today! thanks universe!

Mood: hard to wake up this morning, but loving the day. its going to be a good one! we think its been hard to wake up because we have been mad snacking at night before bed. time to put a stop to that.

Weather: HOT. we didn’t leave till almost 10am! that is way too late now that its officially summer tomorrow we get up at 5!

Convo: upcoming TPP eps, progress on our personal sites, i’m thinking about trying to give up bananas for a week to see if im fructose intolerant. i currently eat a ton of bananas and i’ve been having stomach aches, so jess and i were wondering if the fruit may be causing it.

Nutrition:fruit salad. oj when we got back because we sweated our balls off. bout to have a smoothie.

Effort: 4/5 really fucking hard for me today. i just couldn’t catch my breath. and my guts were paaaainin’. i tried to suffer through it because i didn’t want to hold jessica back, but the cramps just got too bad. it sucked ass! i hate it when i have to walk. we ran most of the 2.5 to the gym except for maybe the last .25. then ran a good amount on the way home, but prolly walked the last mile or so :/ i kept telling myself ‘i’m a gazelle’ and ‘i am strong and this is easy’ but my mind just couldn’t overcome it. but, we still logged the miles, and tomorrow is going to be awesome! looking forward to it. thanks universe!

Mood: good. a little hard to get up this morning, but still in a good mood.

Weather: really nice but kinda hot

Convo:purpose in life, some second life stuff for jessica’s job

Nutrition: banana for breakfast. ate a lot last night so didn’t have the fruit salad today.

Effort: 3/5 pretty easy. started cramping up near the end, but i think its because i didn’t have my breath right. i’ve been trying to keep my abs tight while running, but i think, since i’m not used to it, that i kind of hold my breath when i do it. i’m getting better though. oh, and did i mention best time evAr?!?! w00t!

Mood: great! not as giddy as some mornings, but definitely good. i like something jessica said to me the other day about negativity just not being part of her goals anymore. i feel the same. its just not a part of what i want to do anymore. it would only be detrimental to me achieving my goals

Weather: perfect. cloudy and 79F when we left. love those cloudy texas mornings!

Convo: we didn’t talk much

Nutrition: fruit salad. glass of oj when we returned. was feeling kinda full. maybe because the bananas weren’t as ripe as usual.

Effort: 3/5 ankle is still feeling it a little, but it really benefited from us taking the day off yesterday. it should be good as new after rest days this weekend. other than that, the run felt super-fucking-easy! and our best time ever, w00t w00t! got my best time ever despite this little annoyance in my heel. i’m pretty geeked! i’m just grateful to have a strong body and the ability to run!

Mood: pretty good, a little harder getting up this morning because we only slept 6-hours. i was starting to feel down thinking about my weight being up (overate yesterday) and my ankle hurting. i was thinking shit like ‘everything is working against me’ and ‘nothing is in my favor’. but i had to remind myself that i created everything in my universe and i have control of it. i just kept telling myself that i can only change my next action and can only affect the fruits of the future, not the fruits of the present. so, i kept trying to tell myself that it was going to be an awesome day and that my ankle would be fine. no point in wallowing, that just makes you feel worse!

Weather:absolutely gorgeous beyond belief. left a little later than usual, so it started to get kinda hot, but i wasn’t really concerned with the heat and humidity today because i was so grateful just to be out there running.

Convo: we didn’t talk much

Nutrition: fruit salad. glass of oj when we returned.

Effort: 3.5/5 giving this one a 3.5 because my ankle was kinda hurting the whole time. it wasn’t so bad, but definitely there. i just tried not to think about it and concentrate on it being healed, and i think that really helped. like i said, i was just sooooooooo grateful that i was able to get out there. i was trying really hard not to think about the possibility that i wouldn’t be able to run, but it was definitely in the back of my mind. i was even thinking about telling jess that I couldn’t go because i could feel it already paining a little when i woke up. but i didn’t want to give that notion a voice, so i kept quiet and decided i would just give it a shot and see how far i could make it. well, i ended up making it the whole three miles! it did hurt a little, but i just kept telling myself i was fine and it went great. really helped set the mood for the day!! i am sooooo grateful. we were talking, when we got back, about how running is really integral to both of our mental health, which is a huge reason why i was so grateful to be out there. i’ll never complain about running again, i love it too much!!
