You know something we don’t get taught often?  Why bodies with uteri often have a slight pouche. You wanna know why? Because the uterus leans against the outside wall of the abdominal cavity. The uterus is literally making that little pouche, the belly that we call fat all the fucking time, and that’s why it’s so fucking hard to get a absolutely flat belly! And thank fuck for having a female anatomy professor who is old enough and feminist enough to not give a damn and cheerfully tell us all the details that a male professor might have thought unimportant.  Cause fuck this society that ignores organs in order to fat-shame us.

Half Training

So….. Wine & Dine is so soon! I’m getting really pumped – not just for my vacation, but for the race itself. I’ve gotten my distance up to 10.5 miles, even though I’m still pacing about a 14 minute mile. I’ve been allowing myself to walk sometimes when I need to, and I think that’s been helpful. The temptation to beat myself up about not being able to run 100% of it is strong, but seriously – why?!

It’s still a long distance! I’m still doing it! It’s still something that, a few years ago, I would never have thought I could do. I can still be proud of that! So I’m going to be.

I think I’m gonna cobble together an Ariel costume for this run. It’s easy for a redhead, after all. I’m totally doing Quorra from the Tron Legacy movie. And the last thing on my mind is that I’m trying a new sports bra!

I’ve been running in the Nike high compression bras for… well, ever since I started running. I’ve gotta say, while they certainly keep my 32D-ness from painful bouncing, the high compression is a bit – well, tight! sometimes. I’ve definitely had moments multiple times of having to stop and release the compression a bit so I can breathe. Looser bras or ones with less compression don’t work with running for me, so I felt kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Someone in the HRC Ravenclaw common room recommended the Victoria Secret Incredible Bra for running. Several people agreed, so I decided to give it a try. I picked up a purple one today and I’m gonna see how it works! I’ll put it to the test before my race, and if it’s good I’ll wear it on race day. Yay!

I MISSED THIS. HOW DID I MISS THIS. (I'm glad I found this though.)

13.1 Miles IS a long distance. It's funny, when I've run into people after a race and ask them how it went, their first answer usually is, "Well, I ran the entire thing?" I know I can't run an entire 13.1 miles. My lungs just won’t hold up for that long.  My first answer when asked how a race went usually is, “I finished! I did it.” Because in all honesty, it doesn’t matter if you run the entire thing. It matters that you finish. That you go the distance.  I’m so excited to see you in a week!!!

Currently engaged in a massive throwback...

AKA finger weaving my tail for my ratatouille costume for Wine and Dine since it’ll be a hell of a lot lighter than any rope out there.

At the gym

Me, carrying a 15lb weight: Oh that guy is cute.

Intrusive thoughts: Hit him over the head with the weight.

Me: How about we don't do that.
