Day 8 of 365

  • Grilled chicken breast sandwich on whole wheat with hummus, bell peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, and onions
  • Baked sour cream and cheddar ruffles
  • Fresh fruit cup (approx. 10 oz)
  • Nature valley dark chocolate granola thin

It took me all of 5 minutes to eat this entire meal!  It was a post-gym meal which I ate during the beginning of my physics class.  I had a really good workout today, cycled for an hour and ran 3 miles.  Right now, I’m really working on being able to run a 5k comfortably and then once 5k gets “easy” I’ll start working on speed.  For now though, I PR’d at 36:35 and had an average pace of 12:01 which I’m really happy with =)

I’m so sad, what will I do for 5 months?

I got to the gym kind of late so I didn’t get to do my normal 3 miles before cycle.  I did run though, maybe 2 miles, as long as I could without being late for class.

Finally, a non-food pic! 

3 mile run, 1 hour of cycle, and 1100+ calories burned.  All before 10am, fuck yeah!

My physics exam is tonight and to be honest, I’m still not expecting a good score.  That’s alright though, even if the rest of the day sucks, I started the day right and I’m feeling like a beast right now haha.

I had a very nice conversation with a guy at starbucks then I kicked some butt at the gym.

I’ve seen the guy a few times before so when I couldn’t find an open table I asked him if I could share his.  He was very polite and I was able to actually get some studying done even though that Starbucks always plays their music too loud.  As he was leaving, he noticed my physics homework.  Cue a 20 minute conversation about LBCC, CSULB and being a biochemistry major.  He told me that he went to LBCC too and that he’s also a biochem major and thinking about going to medical school.  I told him that I’m really struggling in Physics and that being serious at LBCC is kind of hard since pretty much everyone is so relaxed and not serious about school.  He told me that physics and biochem in general is pretty tough but that it’s do-able as long as you’re willing to work for it, then he said “Don’t let other people effect you or hold you back, it’ll bring you down and you’ll never reach your full potential.”  I really need to keep this in mind, just because other people don’t study, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t either.  I need to do what’s best for me regardless of what other people will think.

After Starbucks I headed to the gym for Ashley’s cycle class.  My legs were still sore but I really wanted to push it since I haven’t been able to run lately (because of school).  I felt great at the gym but now the soreness is even worse, just getting out up out of a chair is tough.  I’m walking around all stiff too, I think this might be what being old feels like haha. Oh well!  I’m working tomorrow and will be on my feet all day long so tomorrow will also be my rest day.  But definitely running on Saturday!
