1. I don't want to go to work. I worked a double yesterday, and now I work again today. DON'T WANT TO GO!
2. I'm frustrated with all the hours I have to pull at my job, picking up extra shifts, in order to stay in Chicago. Being poor does not rock at all. At this point I wish I was still in college and not just graduated so I could be going back to class instead of worrying about why I don't have a job anywhere close to my field yet, and why I'm terrified to really try to get a job in my field. (YAY FOR TRANSITIONAL YEAR! or not...)
3. I haven't ran in over a week. Bad news bears. I've been tired from work and PMS-ing which leads to my next thing...
4. I'm on my period. This is good, because this is my 3rd consecutive period in a row, which for someone with polycystic, who never has her period, this is a good sign. BUT, I have horrible cramps, my skin is breaking out, I'm bloated and this is totally not making me want to run AT ALL.
but I did dance my ass off at Lollapalooza. So sweaty, so many calories burned. Gold star for that at least in my week of bad behavior.
QUESTION EVERYONE!!! Well, actually just to the girls out there. How do you all deal with running or training when it's that time of the month? Do you just skip the week? How do you all trudge through?
signing off, to head to work (groan) and hopefully get peppy again, I'm not a fan of grumpy Lisa, she's a bitch to live with...

I just had the worst ever run!
I'm lucky in that I don't really find my cycle affects my running, but that's probably because I'm on the pill! Being on the pill also means I can choose to skip all together if a period would clash with an event.
Lisa---I just met you at Thousand Waves. YOUR SITE IS GREAT!!! You are doing such an amazing job! I am glad to have talked to you---this is great inspriation for me. I passed along your site to some of my friends! Go Lisa!
Hey Lisa! I don't find that my cycle interferes with my running. Having said that, everyone is different, and if you feel physically ill when on your cycle, running may not be your best bet. However, I'd suggest walking as an alternative, so you are at least maintaining your fitness level. When you don't run for a while, that first run when you start back up is a killer. Good luck!
hey lisa! I have read that exercise actually helps decrease the pain caused by cramps, so it may seem hard to get out there, but it will pay off in the end!
