Items of note: I wrote about my first "break-up" of 2015 mid-April - I'm STILL dealing with that stupid "break-up." I don't even know what to say about it anymore. Also, I did sign up for the M-Town Series! Our first race is tonight, yikes! And in case you're wondering, I did NOT prepare.
So...that's where we stand. Somewhere between finals and "breaking up" with Patrick every weekend, I've slipped off the workout wagon. I'm back at it again, starting with this race, and it feels pretty good. Mary and I went on a four-day bender this last weekend, and my body has been paying the consequences ever since. I don't know why I think I can still eat and drink like an 18-year-old and feel perfectly fine.
New goals:
GET BACK TO YOGA. My mental calm has all but completely dissipated, and I can't take much more of the anxiety. I have been working out in the yard more, and that's been a nice change for me. Lately, though, we've had so much rain that it's been difficult to get in the yard and really do anything.
INTEGRATE RUNNING INTO MY REGULAR ROUTINE. I finally shaped up my calendar again, and I added in all the remaining races. They're close enough to one another that it should force me to get into a regular running routine. I just need to make this a priority, especially since running and yoga go hand in hand. It's so important to stay flexible when you start running regularly - tight muscles are not fun. I want to sign up for the St. Jude Marathon Relay again, too, so establishing a routine early enough in the year would be ideal!
REESTABLISH CLEAN EATING HABITS. There's really no excuse for this one, except for the emotional roller-coaster I've been riding all month. And that's not really an excuse. With warmer weather on the way, though, it should be easier to make healthier choices (i.e. grilled fish/lean meats, grilled veggies, watermelon/fresh fruits).
Okay. *Deep breath* Here goes the refresh.
