The Weirdest Day

[seventhe]

Today:

• I woke up late, which is surprising, and scrambled to get my lab printed out and things together and cats fed and on the road in the snow with enough food to last through until 6pm -- only to find when I got to campus that UAkron had closed for snow for the day.
  Now, when I went into my UAkron email folder, I did see the notice. But you know what? UAkron sends out emails like every day, I do not read them all, it is like the worst spam I cannot unsubscribe from. And I did not think the roads were that bad, I have driven through worse this season. I did not even think to look.
  So: no lab.


• I went to the gym and ran 6.7 miles. Ran at about a 10:50/mile pace. I did feel like I could have gone faster, and I felt like I could have done more, but the goal is to stay healthy and uninjured so I kept the speed down and kept to my plan on mileage. It was a pretty good run overall. I need to work on getting my cadence faster; a lot of the stuff I'm reading talks about a cadence of ~180 (~90 per foot) and my cadence right now is like 79 (160). I need to take shorter strides to be more efficient. It's hard to train yourself to do that though.


• I ate an entire Subway $5 Footlong and an entire box of vegetable lo mein. I have also drank like 20 glasses of water. Blaming the run, dude, blaming the run.


• Tested out John Freida 3-Day Straight spray on my hair - it's supposed to be a semipermanent relaxer that makes your straightening last for three days. I look pretty fab, sitting here with my laptop gorging on lo mein and possibly in my pajamas.


• I have been waiting to take my antibiotic, hoping that it will again make me pass out but this time maybe closer to bedtime? Yes, I am using this antibiotic as a sleeping pill, I think my body is officially broken as of right now.


• I really don't feel like working. I'm staring at the lab data and feeling rather braindead. Today was kind of surreal in not having lab, really, it was like I didn't even know what to do with all this time. Like, is this how much time normal people have? I kind of boggled.


• God I am still hungry. WTF.

Obviously your body is burning through something. (I usually have one week a month where I eat basically nothing--enough to keep me from getting dizzy/migraines--and then later a week when I eat everything that is not both nailed down and on fire. Body, wtf.)

Still hungry? I think you should check what's in your antibiotics.

This is a GOOD POINT. :/ Antibiotics already hate my body.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I hope that you're doing good today. You earned a free day from lab.

I love Subway $5 footlongs. I wish they would have them all the time.

*hug* Don't kill yourself working!

Yeah, all my lessons got canceled yesterday, which really threw me off for the whole day.

I did an 8 mile run and probably ate about 4000 calories yesterday! XD What's the point of running if it's just going to make you feel hungry?
