I love how my period starts bearing its nasty claws almost TWO WEEKS before I actually start! Since I'm on birth control, it's easy to know when to expect early symptoms: about the end of the second row of pills, when they change from white to pink. That's when I get bloated, my stomach is sensitive to certain foods, I start getting cramps and running becomes a game of chance when it comes to being able to finish a run before I have to shit like a mad bull (pardon the expression).
So, here I am, the Friday before the week before the Wednesday that I start my period, and already, I'm dragging. Blah.
I say all of this because I decided to do my weekend run this morning, and it didn't go very well. I only did 1.5 miles at 4.5 mph. I did a total of 30 minutes, including my 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down. Plus, I was struggling towards the end. I blame my approaching friend Flo AND the fact that I did the stair machine last night--Sweet Jesus, that was a workout! I might try to work in stairs once a week now because that burns a LARGE amount of calories in a shorter amount of time. Plus, I feel the burn FOR SURE.
Anyways, this weekend needs to be super productive so time to make my smoothie, shower and GET MOVING. Cheers!
