I'm So Hot Thursday!

Early post today! Cubs game at 1:20, then Apes tonight, which is pretty fun, because I’m all ready for Apes, all they have to is put my DVD in and I’m done! I can’t wait to see everyone’s videos tonight, I think this is going to be a hard one to judge.

I wanted to just go ahead and welcome my “new” readers. You know who you are, I shall not name. But you may find that the tediousness of this blog will overcome the interest in seeing it for the first time. I do hope you enjoy it though, I do, and I hope all 2 of my readers would agree. Welcome to my world but be warned, now’s your chance to run.

So let’s see, I’m Kinda Hot Thursday.

Weight: 145
Running stats: 0 and 0
Favorite running song this week: my own cries of frustration

So what is up with the Hixx? I cannot run anymore. I had gotten myself up to 40 minutes, running at a nice, solid pace and as of sometime last week its like I’m just beginning. My past four or so runs have been a struggle, hot and sweaty, real achy legs. I ran for 30 minutes on Sunday and my legs still hurt. How can that be? Honestly? Does anyone know anything about this?

Is it possible I can build up my running every week consistently and then just all at once have it backfire? I don’t get it. And now I’m just so frustrated and annoyed that, like John said, its going to be a big mental block. I was cruising, it was feeling good, I felt like I was “running”, now I feel like I’m staggering.

My ever intelligent boyfriend says its time to shake it up, stop concentrating on numbers on a treadmill but find my natural way of running and improving, go outside, start running differently with different form. I know he’s right, I just don’t want to.

But I do want to know, do other people feel this? Has this happened to you? Where you’re totally cruising and then one day, BOOM, you’re backtracking?

I swear its just me. I swear it!
