relaxed slow days are a good way to end the week
my first two appointments took me nowhere near as much time as I booked them for, the next three was a group of women who bullied me into trying to fit them in in about an hour and a half, which was in no way physically possible but the mother of the group (who wasn't there yesterday when I got talked into writing them in) called and rescheduled for next week when I told them I didn't have anything booked at all. *whew. Also relieved because the second appt. was someone I was sort of dreading seeing again because when he left, his graywash clouds looked WAY darker and choppier than I thought they should have, but when I saw them they actually healed out fine, and he had someone do the other side and it looked way shittier and was almost healed, so... yay!
Gradually working my way up from week three of the couch to 5K program, I've decided to start skipping the five minute brisk walking warmup and just do like a minute or so, 5 minutes of walking just seems sooooo long. I actually get antsy and think, "C'mon, I just wanna get to the running" [eek]. I didn't need to add any walking time to the official guidelines last night and I actually added a minute of running onto the last interval and increased my average speed slightly. The other day I took a break from the program to see how long I could continuously run for, and it was longer than before I started... not a lot longer, but... progress is progress. I picked up some decent running shoes and that made a lot of difference. Once I get my Neumas rockin and my half-leg-sleeve (sleeve doesn't really work there, what the fuck would you call it? half-pant? I dunno) looks better maybe I'll get some shorts or something too. I don't really feel weird at the gym because there are a shitload of fairly heavily tattooed people that go there, including max from Body Armor. I only ran into him a few times though, I think we go at totally different times.
I got an appointment with sean herman for the end of july (http://www.seanherman.com/ - check it out! Do it!), I'm very excited =) he books a good bunch of months in advance. I met him at the Hell City convention in Columbus last year, very nice guy. I'll be at Hell City again this year, actually getting some work done on my hands, my big committment piece :p no turning back after that one since it won't be hide-able. eek! :p
