And now on to something else.
You guys are seriously wonderful. I know I'm not always the most attentive person to have on your flist - I'm not good at remembering to wish people happy birthday, I don't always comment to the every-day posts - but you guys are always there with a comment and a nice word. And I really, really appreciate it. I just want y'all to know that you're pretty awesome even though I not always am. ♥
I feel a bit better. I've talked to my parents, cried a bit with my mom (which is melodramatic at this stage, because I don't even know anything yet, but this shit scares me) and now I'm just tired. But I just wanna make this post before I go to bed, because I've been meaning to make it since Monday, but then Unbreakable happened and other stuff happened, so if I don't post it now I probably never will. Plus, my wonderful flist deserves some music. :)
So I finally started running again this week. To those of you who didn't keep up with my massive weight loss project in the spring, I started running in March so I could lose weight faster. And I hated it at first. We're talking fiery passion hate here. I couldn't run very far without getting short of breath, for one thing. Now I'm completely addicted and I've missed running so much these past couple of months. All it takes is dedication and it'll get easier.
But what mainly kept me motivated was having mixes of running music on my iPod that pushed me and made me WANT to move. I made mixes that alternated between fast and slow songs so I could take breaks and walks occasionally if I needed it.
So I figure, hey, if you're thinking about giving this whole running thing a try, you could my mixes! Or get inspired by my mixes. Or just get some new music alltogether.
Each one runs about 45 minutes, give or take a few minutes. They're also about to make it horribly evident what genre of music I mostly listen to.
