Womp

I seem to be in an emotional/intellectual funk that I cannot get myself out of. I just don't care about school anymore. No matter what I try to accomplish, I end up on the verge of tears begging for the end.

Yesterday was a particularly bad day - it seemed like everything in the world was pitted against me. I bet you're thinking, "But then this really awesome thing happened, right?!" Nope. It was just an awful day, and it didn't help that I was unable to get a run in. I ate poorly (not necessarily junk, but I ate sporadically and didn't get enough nutrition), didn't get enough water, and just generally wanted to cry about every five minutes.

I got myself moving this morning and all I could muster was 2.25 miles before I was internally screaming mercy. Coupled with my foul mood, I was a bit dehydrated and I didn't eat anything before I went out. It was just no good. It wasn't the worst run ever, but it's the worst run I've had in a while. On the plus side: no chaffing!

I have an abstract due today for an academic conference in April - there's still a lot of work to be done, so here's to hoping I can bang it out and get over my moping.

A Week Without Running

A very sad week indeed. Last week was the last week before spring break, and I am poor at time management. Sadly, my last run was last Monday. I went home to New York on Saturday, not having run Tuesday through Friday, and I didn't run at all while I was home. We got about 8 inches of snow up here in Massachusetts, so I was also unable to run outside once I got back too my house. If anyone's ever lived in central Massachusetts, I'm sure you'll agree that snow maintenance sucks.

So yeah, it's been a bummer of a week for me, just means I gotta kick it into gear tomorrow. I also ate like CRAP while I was home. I always do... it's just so easy! No one in my family eats healthy, so it's pretty hard for me to do so while I'm home. I'm pretty sure I ate 10 cookies today. In comparison to the rest of my weekend, today was a good day. Yeah. Bad. I'm pretty sure I've gained back whatever weight I've lost. Oh, well. All I can do now is eat better in the coming days. And run. A lot.
