I've never been so happy to get my period early. I was expecting it Friday, but got it this morning instead. This means I won't be on my heaviest day for my 10K on Saturday, yay!
Also, clearly I mistook this as a Randoms post and not a Whines post. lol.
This is super lame but I am having trouble editing my profile for the CrossFit Open. It wouldnt be a big deal, but right now my profile picture is of an ugly ass male clown that has been knocked on the head and has stars floating around its nasty face. WTF? They could have at least made it a girl clown, lol. I just want to put a decent picture of myself!
I hope not, because I hate running too and I want to stay. It makes me even more mad that it's such a great form of exercise for me. At least you do running intervals. When I say I'm going "running" that usually means 1-2 miles max at about a 10 minute mile pace, and I'm probably swearing and cursing the entire time.
Oh, there's cursing, trust me. Plus at the end a song rotated through my ipod that is basically, "You are so f*****, so f****** f******" that I found wholly appropriate.
My run yesterday was so awful I did hillwork. My 'hillwork' was .25 miles of running downhill to finish my run and then I walked back up for my cooldown.

Lol. I hope you get it figured out soon.
I thought I slept through my alarm yesterday and missed my date with my running group, but then it went off during my afternoon meeting (at 440 pm).
It was a little gratifying, but didn't really change the fact I had a crappy day. Messing up my running/spin schedule really, really messes with my mood.
The Nike shoes I bought just a couple of months ago have a hole in them and the bottom is tearing. I really can't justify new shoes more than every six months but damn it, they need to last. Grrr.
Send them back to Nike. They will probably replace them.
Thanks! I just got all the necessary stuff from the Claims department, fingers crossed!
I was only 4 days away from finishing Insanity. Then my work schedule exploded, so this was my first morning workout since last Wednesday. I'm so annoyed when my workout schedule gets hampered by work. Some days are harder than others at work and right now, it's been kicking the crap out of me--especially my feet (which take a beating during Insanity as well.)
Even though its been almost 2 weeks since my PRK eye surgery, I still have blurry vision and it's really ticking me off. According to my eye doctor, I'm a "slow healer" - ugh. I have to use reading glasses just to use the computer:(
DH made almond pund cake and it's tempting me so much today but I weighed myself and I'm still up a pound. Ugh, I hate that the scale makes me feel bad about myself - 1 pound on the scale should not do anything to my self esteem but unfortunately it does:(
ON the upside - We got a snow day today and I got in a really good 40 minute tempo run and I lifted.

I am finally getting my butt in gear (literally and figuratively), and my left leg is now giving me trouble. The tendonitis in my foot is rearing it's ugly head, and now my knee has a weird pain. Do not need this now.
The trainer who taught 2 of my favorite boot camp type classes at the gym was fired. The classes were an hour of pure torture but they were fantastic!! I can't push myself that hard on my own. Now I have to find new classes.
He was fired for training clients outside of the gym which apparently was not allowed.

I dunno if this is a whine or more of me expressing my discouragement I've been a certified fitness instructor for a little while now but have not been able to find a job. The gym I go to is a local one with 3 branches. It is top of the line amazing. I have friends who work and teach there. My friend wants to use me as a sub for her circuit training class when she is gone for race weekends. However, after auditioning for a job they said they really want to use me, but cant right now because they have no openings for new classes to teach and they are not allowed to hire strictly subs because of payroll issues. So these past 3 circuit classes we have had subs. The whole time people are complaining because the sub does the class so differently and acts like they dont know what theyre doing because theyre used to teaching a different class. and then my friends ask me why I won teach it. I say I will!! I just have to be hired first! So okay yea this turned into a whine. I just wanna be given a chance.

This happened to me this past fall! Luckily, the teacher found a new place that would let him teach there and train on his own (stupid move for my gym because a lot of people left.) And he does outdoor classes, weather permitting.
Boot camp class was intense this morning. I am tired, hungry (even after eating my lunch) and just in a grumpy mood today. If I could go home, eat the rest of cookies I made, make a latte and then nap for 4 hours, I would be in heaven. Alas, I am stuck at work for another 4ish hours. Oh and I have no idea what to do for dinner as we ate the rest of our leftovers last night and I did not have the energy to think of what to make for dinner tonight.
I'm freaking exhausted, like I could literally sleep for a whole week exhausted. I think I may need to go to a sleep clinic, I don't ever feel like I'm rested, even after a good nights sleep. I feel like a lot of the time I don't get into a REM sleep, it's like I'm only half asleep. Or maybe I'm just one of those people that need 10 hours of sleep and I only get 7. I don't know. I'm so tired of being tired.
Because of this tiredness, it makes it extremely hard to get my workouts in. I want to do one tonight, but just don't have the energy.
Also, I went off my one medicine and now my skin is breaking out like a freaking teenager, I hate it.
My leg hurts. I dont know why. Only when i run" i know i need to rest it, but how can i figure out if its better if it only hurts when i run. Grrrr. Im so impatient. I know rest will help, but i dont want to rest. I just want to be better. Im going to try out the treadmill later, im not expecting it to be better. Sigh.
I started a new, better job on monday and while i really ike it so far, i miss you guys.

A student was arrested at my school today for having a weapon in his locker. My school has so many great things happening, but a terrible reputation. I wish we got as much press for the positive things as we do the negative things.
I never thought I would leave teaching, but there is a strong possibility this will be my last year. I have one absolutely horrendous class and I am seriously at my wits end

My speed workout was cancelled because of a lacrosse game, so I ran from home, and almost got run over 384 times. I hate running in the evening when there are so any cars on the road. I also had to cut my run about a mile short because I thought I was going to poop my pants. Apparently gorging on cake and ice cream before a run is a bad idea.

This has been a horrible migraine week. I have missed half my workouts and I suck at work because even with the meds I can just barely put on the appearance of being alive.

Don't do that! Just a couple of months and they're gone. I had the worst classes ever last year and now I love 4 out of 5 and sort of like the other one. It just goes in cycles. You're due!

I find myself saying that a lot and then yesterday a little boy came up to me and said in a whisper "I like to read now." Those are the little things that keep me going and Tara is right, it's almost June. We don't have to live with these kids, their parents do.
