3 miles
I did not want to run this morning but I made my brain shut up and I did it.
42 minutes. Man does that seem like a long time, but, it’s 3 minutes less than usual which is pretty good I think.
Woops
I realize I haven’t been blogging at all since I got back to school…surprise, surprise.
Well…I haven’t been slacking at all, don’t worry. I’ve been right on schedule with my running and working on increasing my time.
I have workstudy in our gym here from 6-8am on MWF. Crazy, I know, but it’s really not that bad. I run in the morning, come back to...

Back to school diet...
As of yesterday I’ve started my diet for the year. It’s not anything hardcore…I’m just eating a lot better (which can be very hard in the caf). I’m basically making sure I eat half a plate of veggies, quarter starch, and a quarter protein each meal. Throughout the day I try to eat at least 3-4 pieces of fruit.
Everything is going well but…all I want is...

I hate feeling guilty after I eat. :(
Nicole went running with me today. She told me I’m not as slow as I think I am…that made me feel better. I was supposed to run 2 miles and i got to 1.5 and my back started hurting pretty bad so we walked the rest of the way…and by rest of the way I mean to Pagoda to get thai food.
aaaaand now i feel guilty for eating…wtf.
Okay so I’ve been putting off running till now. I’ve tried to kinda talk myself out of it haha. But I need to go, and it’ll probably rain when I do.
I’m running 3 miles today, and not on the track. I’m going on a route my brother mapped out for me. We’ll see how it goes!
Mind: 1 Body: 0
When my alarm went off at 6:45 this morning my body just laid there not moving telling me “don’t run, don’t run, don’t run”. My mind didn’t like this though, I had an argument in my head that went something like this:
Body: Shanna, please don’t go run, I’m tired and we can sleep for a whole other hour and 15 minutes if you let...
Jeez Louise!
It’ so freaking hot out this morning. I just came back from my 2 mile run, dripping with sweat and downing some ice water.
Seriously though, so hot! I went so slow today which in a way is good because I came back in about 30 minutes, hopefully that means I go faster than that when I’m not feeling slow.
I can’t remember if I already wrote my new running plan on here and I’m too lazy to look...
3 Miles
I did it…I ran 3 miles, and it was the hardest run yet! I ran there (.5 miles) and ran around the track 8 times (2 miles) that way if I didn’t think I could make the 3 miles I would just walk home. Instead I thought I would try it. I was so tired and ran that last half mile really slowly but i pushed through. It was SO hard. I was also very dehydrated because I stupidly...
I’m waiting for the temperature to go down so I can run 3 miles. This will be my first attempt at running 3 miles but I think I’m ready for this.
I’m struggling with this whole weight loss thing. I set a goal to lose at least 20 pounds this summer and I’ve lost nothing. It’s very discouraging.
:(
I’ve been working so hard at running and I just want to give up.
It doesn’t seem...

So tired.
I went to bed around 1 because I couldn’t stop talking to Quinn, and then I got up at 6 to go run. Ran 2.5 miles, and now I have to work a 9 hour day. I’m probs gonna die later.
Holy Crap
I ran 2.5 miles this morning…that’s right, I got up at 6:45 and left to go run…and I loved it. I can’t even tell you how awake I am right now and I don’t even have to leave for another 50 minutes. I just get to chill and relax and drink some ice cold water (and boy does it taste good)!
So yes…about my run. I walked over to the track and ran the 2 miles,...
Length: 2 miles
Time: 30 minutes
2 again!
I ran another 2 miles! I’m on a roll!

Sometime this week I’ll be running 2.5
and then eventually 3 miles…WOW
I ran 2 miles again yesterday, check me out.
I RAN 2 MILES!
1.75
I did it!

I feel good.
1.75
I don’t know if i can do this…
Movin' on up!
Sitting in front of the air conditioning to report to you all (well, Meghan, because you’re the only one who reads this) that, I ran 1.5 miles straight today! I’m so pumped, not only did I do that but I took a .25 mile walking break and then ran another .25 miles. 1.75 mile run! That’s the most I’ve done in a long time! I’m so excited and proud of myself.
If...
I did it again
…i played with your heart, got lost in the game….
wait…no, that’s not what I was about to type. I ran 1.25 straight again, and then walked .25, and then ran another .25. It felt good but possibly slower than monday. Ah well, I still did it!
Friday I’m going to run 1.5 straight! I feel like it’ll be really slow BUT I know I can do it! In one month I want...

Another good run!
Today we went to the beach all day and it was fun, I got tan even though I don’t need one. When we came back I went over to the track (even though it was raining—good think i love the rain) while my brother went off with his running group. This is a quarter mile track so he told me to walk one lap as a warm up, run around at least 4 times, if I could then do 5. Then he told me to...
HUNGRYYY
thank god dinner is ready!
Fish, potatoes, asparagus…yum
First run
Okay so I started running today. My brother took me to a track which I ran on last summer and could barely run half a mile. Today I ran a mile, walked a quarter mile, then ran another quarter mile. It felt good! :)
Now I must shower!
BROOKLYN!
I arrived in Brooklyn last night. It’s so lovely here, I just know this summer is going to be great!
I realize I haven’t had a food journal in a while but I got off track a bit and decided to wait till I got here and get settled before I start again. Also, I got a bagel this morning, I know it’s not healthy but I used to live in NY and you get used to the bagels and pizza so...
Working Out
Sometimes I hate working out, sometimes I love working out. Today was a hate day. I didn’t want to do anything but I made myself run a mile and do 15 minutes on the bike. It wasn’t a lot but my legs were cramping from pain anyway so I did what I could.
Yesterday was a lot better though. I went 15 on the elliptical, 15 on the bike, and a mile on the treadmill. I did that the day...
Food Journal 1 and 2
Okay so I don’t know if I’ll keep track every day but I’m going to try!
Yesterday I had:
Breakfast
egg whites
toast
Lunch
tuna sandwich
Dinner
Salad with tuna, tortilla strips, and italian dressing
Snack
tortilla chips with cheese melted on top
Okay so I know that snack wasn’t healthy but I at dinner really early and it just wasn’t enough. I was SO hungry...
The Starting Line
Okay so I started the blog to help myself keep track of my summer journey. Last summer I lost a lot of weight because I started running and I ate really well. I didn’t gain any of the weight back which is great however, I didn’t lose any more and I’ve had plenty of time to do that. Oh well…can’t change the past. So anyway, this summer I’m going to be staying...
