Still hanging in there...

So, it's been a while. I've been a neglectful blogger. But I've been busy! And hurt! So there...

Hope 4th of July was well for everyone. Remember that gym I joined? Well I go to it a lot, which is good. But they have this thing, where they offer you a free trainer session. So cool, right? Except I got a CRAPPY trainer. We shall call him mumbles, because he mumbled and I have no idea what he said the entire time. It sucks when someone mumbles reps, because you have no idea what is going on. He also wasn't too skilled in nutrition (despite my obvious weight issues, I have a plethora of knowledge when it comes to nutrition, go figure), and he also, get this, here comes the best part: PUSHED ME WAYYYY TOOO HARD.

That is right. I couldn't move for the past week. Well actually for like 3 days I couldn't move, but then it slowly got better, and I only now have a small pain in my upper thigh. It was a bit funny, because I walked like a robot, but it was not funny when I stopped walking because I couldn't physically do it.

So yesterday was my foray back into walking and fully training. The rest of the week before that I spent at the gym doing weight training and swimming. I was suppose to do 4 miles. I could only do 2 before I felt really sick to my stomach. Remember when I told myself never to skip walking for a few days again. Bingo. So I'm going to do 3 tonight, and slowly work my way back up.

This weekend is 7 miles. Will I make it? I sure hope so. It's a busy weekend too. Friends coming in town to stay with me for the Pitchfork Music Festival. I'm covering the festival for Heave Media, so that should be fun. And somewhere in that crazy schedule, I'm walking 7 miles. Phew.

Back with a vengeance folks. What doesn't kill us (ya know, like trainers at Xsport), makes us stronger.
