itchy legs... wth???

ok so I wake up bright and early this morning.. in a stuffy room with damn birds chirping and then i realize... yup the fan is off!! dammit!! I can .... not.... sleep... in the summer time without the fan on... just cant.. and i dont care how many covers i am sleepin under or what kind of pj's i am wearing.. i want the damn fan on...... sooo.. awake.. irritated.. hot... and STILL tired.... i do the kind thing and get out of bed.... and decide to go burn off some irritation.....

so the whole time i am walking... i am trying to burn off negative thoughts.. it sucks when you wake up pissed off........could be why I had a great calorie burn today... maybe i should get angry the day of the race.... what do ya think?? lol

sooo.. walk walk walk.. thinking oh ill just cut this short... then thinking.. nope i need to walk so more.. so walk walk walk... turn the corner.....and realize hardly anyone is awake on a sunday morning.. go figure.. only the people walking and running... interesting....

anyway... at least i have a contructive outlet in which to vent....

btw... did you know that one of my legs is shorter than the other... the one that has the most hip pain is shorter.... and is a big reason why i have pain especially when I am walk/running. streets are sloped so if i am running on the right side my right leg has to fall further than my left and that creates more intense jarring... sooo.. i have to sidewalk it.. or run in the middle where it is flattest..... thanks Doc M

Anyway.. off for a shower... then a somewhat relaxing afternoon and then U2Concert....

numbers are below:
1.89 miles
35min 39 sec
18.54 min/mile
297 calorie

oh sweet running.. how i have missed you.... NOT!!

ok so i have been procrastinating and procrastinating... ok 6 weeks of procrastinating on getting back out there..... I could not walk for 2 days after my race and i really thought that i was gonna die..... whodathunkit.... i did not die!!! hahahhaa

so for days i been saying... cmon kandy.. get out there.. just walk a lil bit... just ride the bike... just do SOMETHING!!!! so finally.... today.... sitting here after work i said.. today is the day..... i would constantly see every night...peeps walking.. running blading... riding.. by my livingroom..... but here i am.. no homework.. no excuses as to why i should not get off my lazy butt... cuz really.. thats all it was.. lazy butt.....

so i got home.. sat down....... then said.. im gonna do it.... so i got up got changed... and off i went... with dog and mark in tow.... hahhaaha

i am shocked my time... it is still on pace... so below are the numbers

1.6 miles
28 min 55 seconds
18.03 per mile
185 cal

I also entered myself into a lottery to run the Labor Day Run with the Governor across the Mackinac Bridge... and guess what??? I was selected... however you have to be able to run a 12 min mile... soooooo and that is alot more than 3.2 miles... i am contemplating it....

but I feel good... i found out from the chiro today that my hips are crooked so he snapped em back in... gonna do some chiro therapy to stablize them and hopefully that helps with all the pain.. anyway.. back on track.. :)
