Some Things Never Change

I haven't been running since I last time I mentioned I'd gone running.  What, a week?  The only time over the last week I *wanted* to run, I was mildly drunk and home alone.  I was sober enough to recognize that trying to run alone, in the dark, with delayed motor skills, was a terrible idea, so I harassed people on Facebook instead.

So, yeah, no running mojo back yet.  Next week I nut up, no matter what.  I've just been hoping it would roll back in on its own. 

Sleep is still a struggle.  Sleeping pills are helping the sleep I do get be deeper, which is good.  But I'm still having issues waking up, and I'm still not getting enough sleep.  To be fair, I think I might have slept a net 8 hours last night?  But I still woke up feeling like shit, so either my math is wrong, or my slept debt is so large that one night of good sleep couldn't make a dent in it.  Neither option is appealing.

I'm still blaming my lack of running-desire on lack of sleep and too much heat.  Maybe if both those problems get solved and I still don't want to run I'll address deeper issues, but they seem like pretty good reasons to kill my will to run right now.

It's not a big deal.  I've filled the running void with other things.  Mostly TV.  It's amazing how much more TV I can watch when I'm not planning on running.  I think I watched three hours of Guy Code last night. 

Yesterday's Workout:

Pictured:  75% of the gym.  And my stupid tattoo.


x3
30s "dance like no one is watching" ropes
30s squatting ropes
8 chest presses (70lbs)
2:30 manually pushing the treadmill w 3 15s bursts of running

x3
30s hopping forward and backward ropes
30s side lunges ropes
12 cable flies
15 squat to high rows

x3
15 (per side) one leg raised back bridges

x2
60s plank



I blame the humidity for this swear more than the workout, since I wasn't really working as hard as I should.  Also, something is in my teeth.  Whatever.

My trainer agreed that we should put my brother Sky on keto for his 30 days of weight loss craziness.  Only, he thinks we should do it srs bsn style, with pee sticks and everything.  The trainer is putting two of his friends on srs bsn keto, so he probably wants the company.  I don't think Sky needs that.  Just well defined rules for a limited period of time to make his supple man boobs go away.  (He's totally not fat or anything, but he is the heaviest he's ever been, and the laziest he's ever been, and he, like me, likes to do random body experiments).

===============

I recently discovered the mind blowing awesomeness of cold brewed iced coffee.  Well, re-discovered, I think.  In high school the local radio station would sell iced coffee at all the music festivals.  This stuff was the most amazing thing I had ever tasted.  "HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS????"  They said it took days.  My brain stopped listening after that.  And yet, 16 years later or whatever, here it is.  So good.  So easy.

So caffeinated.

The word for "fart" in Middle English is "fart."

  1. What's srs bsn style? Maybe I should do that. Oh wait, I have no willpower and I work up close with people so I need decent breath.

    Ye Olde Fart?

  3. The heat definitely doesn't make you want to run. I have been running alot on the treadmill because I hate running outside when it's hot and can't imagine doing it!

  4. I think your lack of running makes you not want to run. I know that sound ridiculous, but if I don't run for a while then I sure as hell don't want to start up again.

  5. I used heat and no sleep for my non-running excuse, too! I think it is valid. I mean it sure feels valid.
    Can you believe I've NEVER had a drop of coffee. I can't even try to imagine the gloriousness of your iced coffee. :(
    But I like cold caffeine in the morning when it is Diet Pepsi and I hear that lovely snap of the can opening. Mm, orgasmic almost!
