Hmm…

Rather awful afternoon of climbing. I think I topped out… twice, and the rest of the time I just kind of slogged halfway up a route and fell off the wall like a sack of potatoes. Not my best day… I have blisters on blisters and my knee is currently unfortunate shades of blue, purple, and green. Oh well… better luck Tuesday?!

I haven’t run because my foot hurts just to walk on (again… landing on my feet for two hours this afternoon probably didn’t help). Planning on calling a doctor tomorrow, although I assume I’m just going to get something along the lines of “well, lay off the running for a bit” or something.

I just signed up for a half marathon, dammit… I’m not supposed to! :(

Other than that it’s been a pretty good day, just busier than I expected with as much cramming of anatomy as I could fit in because the 3 upcoming exams seem a lot closer Sunday than they did Saturday.

Seriously loving climbing

I know I suck at it, but it’s fun and almost relaxing (while at the same time, killing my upper body, haha). I finally made some acquaintances at the gym and we worked on a problem together — everyone was super nice, which made me feel better since I spend most of my time thinking everyone cares how terrible and new at this I am. Ha.

Ran 2/2.5 miles tonight… aren’t I ambitious? I’m so tired I about fell asleep standing up at work.

You know what’s amazing?

Cocoa roasted almonds.

I share only my deepest, most profound thoughts with Tumblr, as I’m sure you’ve gathered.

Today will be composed of some fun things (photos!) and some not so fun things (homework). Probably not climbing until Tuesday, because tomorrow I have plans smack in the middle of the day and lack the ability to work around them or something.

Hmm. I have no motivation to run today, so I’ve put it off until tomorrow. I figure this probably can’t be too bad, since my entire lower half felt like it was going to fall apart this week anyway. Give the legs/feet a rest, maybe I’ll feel refreshed tomorrow morning when I do 5 with H. Or I’ll just spend 5 miles wishing I stayed in bed.

Bouldering

Had a fantastic time, met someone new who was happy to make suggestions for good starter routes, and accomplished more than I did last time. Great fun, and I can’t wait to go again Sunday :)

I think my blisters have blisters…!

You know those days

where your body is all “but I hurt, please don’t abuse me more - let’s stay in bed and eat chocolate” and you’re all “shut up, legs, I’m going for a goddamn run” and then you get back and can barely walk and realize your body was right all along? Today was one of those days. Ouch.

I think the main problem was not taking a break after P90X, I ran when sore, which made other bits sore, which made other bits sore, and so on and so forth. Ugh.

Bouldering later this afternoon with D. Can’t wait!

Watching Sherlock, not sleeping

…waste time while I’ve got it, right?! Classes begin next Tuesday, and I am really not looking forward to a semester of horrible scheduling and chem, parasitology, a&p, and a night-class elective (necessity, ergh).

Four mile run today about killed me this morning. It was beautiful out and H and I had a good time, but my legs felt like lead stumps after P90X/running/climbing yesterday!

Got back home, and we were talking, when H went “Oh my God, are you bleeding?!” Turns out my wobbly gait led to blistering and bleeding all over my Vibrams. Not cool. On the bright side, stain remover takes care of everything! They needed a wash anyway.

amazing weekend

running, party, favorite people, climbing, family, chocolate cake, dog… what more can one ask for? (aside from a pony!)

A night of (very amateur) climbing, books, and good food

Do I have to do homework? Argh.
