Im a little out of the loop, so I dont know if youve been already, but I think you might need a doctor if you havent already. :( Feel better soon!

howdy new followers!
I’ve had an influx of new followers recently which astounds me because I’ve hardly been able to run, but I’m so happy to share my piece of the interwebs with more wonderful people!
Bit about me: I’m from the greatest state of Texas but in exactly one week I will be jetting off to Grenoble, France to study abroad for the summer! This fall I will be beginning my senior/final...

Tried to run this morning. Yes, tried is the operative word. I woke up with my entire right leg just feeling….funny. I don’t know how else to describe it. Kind of like muscle tightness all down the outside of my leg, kind of like aching, kind of like…weak? I really don’t even know how to describe it.
Foam rolled/stretched/sun salutation-ed for about 30 minutes before going...

Life Update
So since finals ended I’ve been pretty quiet on the internet front. Basically, not a whole lot has happened. Things that did happen:
- I accidentally slept in my contacts the night I got home from school. So that was fun sucked. - I found out who my host family will be for this summer! - I ordered new running shoes that should be arriving to my house today! - BUT I may not get to run in...

also.
I swear this will be a fitness/running blog again for real. The truth is, I just haven’t done anything for about…oh…10 days now. I’m not loving that, but there’s been a lot of emotionally taxing stuff going on in my life and I haven’t had energy like normal. I think I’ll do some abs/pushups later tonight, though.
My new shoes/KT tape should be here...

des jours de joie →
So as if I don’t have enough blogging in my life, my wonderful mother insisted that I follow in the footsteps of every study abroad student ever and make a blog to chronicle my trip to France/Europe. So I did! I’ll let y’all know when I post something extra-exciting there, in case anyone wants to hear more about my trip than just the running bit! Cause while I do post personal...

Things that happened today:
- ordered my new running shoes! New Balance 870v2, in raspberry :)
- ordered KT tape on the off chance new shoes isn’t the answer to my ankle issues
- (finally) ordered things to start OCM! So happy. My face is a mess, I’m ready to get it under control and healthy.
- I GOT AN EMAIL FROM MY HOST FAMILY IN FRANCE!! They are adorable. And they have a cat....

Realizations made tonight:
- keeping up with grocery [read: produce] shopping is an absolute necessity - not eating (all day) until 6:30pm is never okay, even if it is an accident - eating not-fruits-and-veggies at 6:30pm when you’re starving leaves you feeling bloated afterward, despite the fact that you were extremely hungry
So, in short, eat healthy throughout the day in order to not...

Its been wonderful to sit around and hang out with my mom and sister, especially because I don’t have any studying to do like usual when I’m home. I haven’t worked out in any sense of the word in over a week now, though. Which just makes me feel like crap mentally.
But I have to get up early to take my sister to school so the plan is go running right when I get back home, the...

Executive Decision of the Day:
It may be the third one in a row, but I am giving myself a rest day again today. Contingent, however, on making my workout tomorrow the first thing I do when I get up.
Might even go for a two-a-day, cause I’m just kind of dying to move. Except for right now. Right now I’m dying to sleep. Which I shall.

KT tape users! I need your advice!
I’m looking to buy KT tape for my ankle issues that have kept me from having a pain-free run for the past few weeks.
Any major differences in PRO/Original KT tape? Any recommendations?

In 16 hours I will be free.
Going for a run tomorrow for the first time since….whatever day my last one was. Friday? Saturday? I have lost track of the days. I just know that I have my math and French culture finals tomorrow.
So ima get back to studying for those now.
On the off chance any of you lovely people actually miss my presence on your interwebs, fear not! I’ll be back in...

True Life:
I have always thought “bemused” meant something like “smugly/somewhat amused”. Turns out it means confused or befuddled. Well. This changes everything.

And then you get to go job hunting! Or do you have something lined up already?
If only! I actually have one more year of school to go. Like I say all the time, I’m practically still a child. I’m not even 21 yet…26 days and counting! I was just overly excited to be finished with that...

friday night confessions:
because I feel like I can tell y’all this stuff. if you’re willing to listen.[[MORE]]
so I don’t talk about it too much here [anymore], because I try to believe that it truly is a part of my distant past and therefore no longer relevant, but the fact of the matter is its still there. and its been threatening to rear its ugly head again as this summer (this summer in particular)...

oh, and for some laughs:
here are the highlights I can remember from my insane dreams last night:
- I joined a CrossFit box….that did everything in a hot tub (death sentence, basically)
- My finals actually started today and in the dream I was just as prepared as I am today (they start Monday…I’m nowhere near ready)
- Two (friendly? apparently) brown bear cubs climbed into my family’s (dream...

thoughts before my last class of the semester:
- in 10 days I will officially be a senior in college. wut lololol - junior year was not the year of running - senior year will absolutely be the year of the running (and yogaing) - finals haven’t even started but I’m already struggling: emailed the wrong paper to my psych prof. Luckily she believed me and allowed me to re-send the correct paper two days later. le sigh - I have 19.75...

today was much better. except I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror while changing and I didn’t recognize the person looking back at me.
Its time to get things done. To make it to my workouts everyday, to drink enough water and lay off the sugar and carbs (I eat wayyyy too many bread products).
I know I can do this. And tonight (especially after not running….again) was exactly...
