I came 🏃

I evaded 🤢

I collected ☑

(Yes, I am laying on a tree dangling over crystal clear [very cold] water!

This was a freakin' awesome run for me! I stayed under ten minutes on the first 4 k's I purposely slowed the pace for a cool down on the final k. The mission had ended so I was just taking in the random song that just fit with that final push. It fit perfectly and just helped me chill. I had no intention of running anymore at that point...

Until... the very last 0.5km a zombie horde came on my tail. Thinking to myself, "Okay, fine! I'll try to outrun them. Just as I evaded them, at the 5.01km mark, I was at the trail exit! It's like they were in my brain and watching me at the same time...lol

I got to my car and decided to take a stroll over to the tree for the photo ok, cause...why not?

Last week was a wash. With the start of a new month, I knew I just had to get out there. Cold temperatures be damned!

I made sure to pack on the layers. 2 leggings, 3 shirts, over the ear headphones 🎧 and hat. Oh, and one glove 😅 (that's all I could find).

I broke into it a little faster than I probably should have. About the 3k Mark I had to go pee so bad, I almost didn't finish. But when I heard the time...I pushed through. Under 10 minutes might not seem that great, but I worked hard for that single digit kilometer!

The mission was over but the zombie chase came after it. Right when I thought I was on my cool down. The cool thing is that it gave me motivation to push that last kilometer harder than I thought I could. It didn't hurt that "Maniac" was playing on the random spotify playlist ...

Even though I didn't do my best ever, I did my first ever in below freezing temperatures. All in all, I'm pretty proud of myself.

Because I Like Food

Had it really been over 2 years since my last run? Well, I did it... I had one goal, to run the 5k on under and hour. Hey, it's been 2 years. I had every thing going against me. My phone was almost dead when I wanted to leave, so I stalled. I didn't have a water bottle so I figured I would just use the fountains at the park. They were off when I got there. Almost packed it in. Made a goal adjustment, just finish 5k. Don't worry about time. On my second lap the mowers came...allergies...running...ugh. Another goal adjustment, just get through the Zombies! Run mission. I powered through and got it done. I continued on to push for the 5k. I looked down and saw I was still a few minutes under an hour at 4.77..."I got this!"...push it...push it...and: Finished 5k in 55 minutes! That's a start (over)!

somehow I constantly struggle between believing I’m perfect and intense feelings of inadequacy

Some pencil work with shading samples. New technique I’m trying out.

#epiclunch So yeah, I'm in the hospital on a clear liquid diet awaiting an ECRP and Gallbladder removal surgery. Fun times!

Side note: I can't handle all the sweet stuff they bring for liquid diet...why does it all have to be sugar junk?

[lmd-studio]

Okay, so I didn't get my full 5k in tonight...that's okay because I had a fun partner for today's run. #madprops @dede_m_productions for choosing hanging with mom over playground. (at Mastodon State Historic Site)

Zombies, Run! Stats so far.

[lmd-studio]

20 miles (32.2 km) since logging with fitocracy...

[lmd-studio]

When the "5k" notification sounded my time was 47:53...so I made it closer to 45 than Friday. I ended last year at 45, the goal this year is to get to a health jog through the whole 5k.

[lmd-studio]

It seems the game decided to give me a 1+k handicap for my first full 5k of the season. Well, cheatin'...momma don't play that game. I guess I did 5k in 49...not bad for first run. I didn't feel like I ran that much even. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.

[lmd-studio]

Starting fresh for the year! Only had 20 min to run, but I did it...didn't get to finish mission though.
