100 Day Fitness Challenge

First day was hard, I haven't gone running in nearly 2 months. Still finished strong with a slow pace nonetheless.

Today rained a bit while I ran, I had a jacket on so it was fine. But I was soaked at the end of the run.

Also, thanks for your support everyone, it makes a great motivation factor =D

"I've never regretted going on a run once I finished" -L_Master

Bright and sunny day, it was a very enjoyable run. My body is starting to feel conditioned at this point.

I stayed up most of lastnight playing D3 and then forced myself to wake up early for a scheduled Dota2 game, but it fell through. I tried to get more rest before I decided to head out, but it was impossible.

The run ended up harder than it usually was since I was a bit fatigued, fault on me >_>

I was fully rested and able. It was a very fun and enjoyable jog. I also invited my little sister to come along. She ended up being in better shape than I thought lol.

Weather kinda sucked, very windy and chilly. And it started to drizzle near the end. But still a good day nonetheless.

Prolonged my run till this evening. Bad idea. It was so dark and creepy. But also fun at the same time too. I felt like I was ready to run for my life at any moment's notice. Dem bakemonos, stay away from me onne gai shimasu! >_<

Another nighttime jog ^_^

It feels like a totally different experience when you're jogging in the dark. I may have to mix it up and do stuff like this more often in case I start to get bored.

Spent most of my day sleeping cause I was playing Civ 5 all lastnight. Only thing I had to eat was cereal for breakfast. It made this run a lot harder than usual, was getting a mild migraine halfway through -_-

Anyways, lesson learned: Always eat prompt to running.

Another day another night ^_^

And thanks for keeping up with my blog guys! It means a lot to me. Please feel free to ask any questions if you have any. =D

Jogged past this cute girl couple times this run. The petite asian type, very cute ^_^. That alone just made my day lol. Thought Id share =D

Im usually extremely busy on Saturdays since I volunteer to help run yugioh/vanguard tournaments. But I managed to squeeze in my run early this morning. ^_^

Not much to say. It was a fairly good jog, very very windy and chilly though. Im prolly gonna spend this week looking for a jogging jacket to invest in.

Also, if you're ever gonna play Civ 5 with someone named "Kaal", dont ever ever ever help him early game. That is all.

Motivated myself to go out before it got too late in the evening! Park looks beautiful during this time =)

Parents are starting to get on my case since Im doing nothing this semester. I have to find a part time job asap to keep em happy. Hopefully it wont conflict with my daily run (should I find a job).

Anyways, run was a bit tough today. I drank milk and it gave me some loose bowel movement. I felt pretty dehydrated through out the run. Lesson learned, dont drink milk near the expiration date =/

Today was very odd. I felt immediate fatigue on my muscles around my ankles and knees. Im guessing it was because I didnt stretch enough after I woke up from my 2 hour nap, or because I ate a TON of chicken curry last night, and the day of. Anyways I still pushed through, was a bit hard though = /

Also, there is a girl that jogs around the same time that I have the past couple days now. Not trying to turn this into a girl blog, but shes cute enough worth mentioning lol. ^_^

Jog felt harder than usual again, just like yesterday. I get immediate fatigue in my mucles around my calf and all over my legs. Maybe this marathon of daily jogs is finally catching up to me? I need to start watching my diet more and take supplements... =/

Anyways, I got a job interview in less than an hour. Its nothing big, just part time job at a Ralph Lauren clothing store. Im hoping I get it so my parents can finally get off my back.

Today felt a lot better than the past couple days. I guess the fatigue I felt in my legs were all in my head. I was able to push through it by listening to good music =)

Had a really long and exhausting day, but very fun at the same time too. Woke up 5am, watched anime. At 9, played Dota2 Pasture tourny (got raped 0-2) lol. Then judged for a yugioh event till 6pm. When I got home I started to get ready for my run at 7pm. I thought the run would be a lot harder this time, but it went very smoothly.

Also, I didnt get the job =( Supposedly we're supposed to get a phone call today if we got in or not, and I didnt get one T_T Anyways, Ill keep on the job hunt.

Anyways thanks for keeping up folks! Till next time. o/

Slept in a lot today. Got plenty of rest, felt really good. And the results showed while I ran, really really easy.

Had some baseball games going while I was running. I sat down watching it a bit after the run, it was really cool. Reminded me a lot of a good anime I watched not too long ago: Cross Game. A good sports anime to watch, highly recommended if you're looking for one.

I had to jog without a jacket tonight since they were all in the laundry. And let me tell you: it was FREEZING. I thought I could see my own breath at some points. My fingers were numb and my shirt was soaked of sweat so I felt a constant chill all over my body. I started to warm up the second half of the run, but the first half was pretty hellish lol.

Other than that, it was a pretty good run. And there was also another baseball game going, a lot more crowded than yesterday's one.

Run was okay. Not much else worth mentioning. Park was pretty crowded though, and lots of cute girls jogging around this time too =D

I got hired at that Ralph Lauren job I was talking about last week! =D I was a bit bummed out today since it was "singles awareness" day and stuff. But when the HR Manager called me after my run, I was like "WOOT!!".

Nothing much else to say, run was good too. ^_^

I ended up jogging pretty late into the night, about 9pm. It actually went a lot better than I expected Idk if it was the anxiousness of finally being able to get out of the house and jog, or the fact that I ate about 1,000 calories worth of chocolate (that my sisters brought home) earlier today. But yea, I felt like I powered through this jog extremely fast. Felt really good too.

Today was a really good jog again. I felt like I powered through the entire two laps with ease. Back in the first two weeks of this challenge I was usually out of breathe or sucking for air at the end of every run. But lately Ive been breathing with ease like its no big deal. Im starting to consider adding another lap to my challenge to make it more interesting. I think this is a good move, since I would be forced to eat a healthier diet. The food Ive been eating as of late are completely ass-unhealthy lol. I was considering a protein shake diet with no meat every single day, and a bunch of bananas for potassium and peas/broccoli as filler. Ill feel it out for now, but its a current goal I have atm.

Also, regarding my part time job. I still havent confirmed what my schedule will be, but its most likely going to be the 4-8am shift which is great for my schedule. I also had a pseudo job offer at the place I volunteer to judge yugioh events at. Not exactly confirmed, but they are looking and I would be more than glad to take up on that offer should they go through with it. So it looks like Ill be extremely busy with two jobs. Im really excited as to how this will all pan out. Hopefully Im not in over my head with this, but we'll see.

I feel really blessed with the amount of fortune thats been coming my way lately. When I thought I had been rejected from the Ralph Lauren interview, I hit a new low. It started to make me think, "If I cant get a simple part time job like this, what chances do I have when I complete my degree?". These things started to run through my mind, and I started to get depressed. It made me realize how tough life can be in a whole new light: That finding a job isnt as easy as I thought it would be. It was a real life lesson I learned, and will never forget. Anyways, I hate to vent this much, so Ill just stop right here. Thanks for your time and on going support (whoever you guys are) ^_^

Till next time! o/

The jog tonight kinda sucked lol. It was incredibly windy with scattered showers. Even with my jacket on I was freezing. My fingertips were numb and every time I inhaled it felt like ice in my lungs.

The actual run itself was fine though. My legs feel so incredibly in shape now. I am very happy with my progress.

Did my jog a little earlier than usual since I had a job orientation at 4pm. Seems like Ill get my preferred schedule, 4am-8am. I really cant wait to get started!

In regards to the run, it was fairly fine. I powered through it pretty easily.

Even after taking a 2 hour nap prior to my run I felt pretty fatigued and tired. I guess I was so busy last week that I didnt rack up enough sleeping hours, and its finally caught up to me this week. Im gonna try my best to sleep in tomorrow, but then again there is a Fnatic game in the morning and I dont want to miss that >_>

Weather was nice and jog was nice. One of the more enjoyable days ^_^

I was dreading running tonight because it was raining all day and I didnt want it to be freezing. But overall the temperature was actually very nice. It wasnt windy at all, just very wet from all the rain and drizzle.

The run was really fun. I powered through it as usual. ^_^

Nothing out of the ordinary. Run was pretty good.

Decided to do something random, and go hiking. I called my friend and asked if he wanted to go hiking with me and if he knew any easy spots. Boy did he troll me good...

Ill keep it short and simple. I was NOT prepared for this... But I dont regret this hike either. It was a fun experience that I hope to never do again in a loooongggggg time.

I opt'd to walk today instead of run. My legs are still extremely sore from the hike I took yesterday. This was more of a concern for injury than actually finding the mental fortitude to force myself to run. Hopefully tomorrow Ill be in better shape to run. As of now, my knees are killing me and it hurts just to stand up from sitting down or getting up from bed T_T

I was forced to walk yet again today. Even then, my leg gave out a couple times as I was walking. Im not optimistic that theyll be healed by tomorrow, but Im starting on protein shakes to help along with the recovery.

I had to walk again tonight, but my legs definitely feel a lot better than they did yesterday. Im pretty confident that Ill be good to go tomorrow. My body is incredibly antsy to start running again. This sudden stagnation in activity is making me really edgy >_>

So I had to walk again today. Its really frustrating. I know I can push through the pain, it doesnt feel too bad anymore. But even then my knees just give out without warning, it really sucks. Anyways, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

So just as I was going to leave my house to go jogging, at around 7pm. I found out that my aunt tried to call me multiple times half an hour earlier. I decide to call back, and just as I expect she wanted me to come over and watch her patients (Im her secondary caregiver for her carehome). Normally I politely turn her down and say that its too short a notice and that I was busy. But I really really needed the extra cash. So I just went there, knowing that my chances of running at the park were pretty much shot down.

I show up. Watch House for two hours. She comes back and pays me, but its already 10pm -_-. I pretty much know at this point the park is closed. I drive there anyways to check it out. The gates are closed... I drive home all depressed. And when I got home and parked, I was like--Fuck it, Im jogging around the block. And I did it lol.

My knees were fine, except for the minor pockets of pain here and there. But overall my legs felt really springy and strong. It was a really really fun jog. I coulda pushed myself even more, but decided to cut it short and not push myself too much. But Im definitely looking forward to tomorrow's jog, I feel like Ill be at 110% finally.

Finally got to do 2 laps jogging. It was felt sooo good. Minor pockets of pain around my knees, but it was easily ignored. First lap I pretty much powered through it, then going into the second lap I realized I didnt pace myself smartly, so I had to slow down drastically. But yeah, really good run. Happy to be back on track =D

Run was really good. But I somehow managed to creep myself the fuck out. This time, there were no baseball games going, so it was pretty much pitch black. I started to imagine scary stuff like ghosts hanging from the trees, ready to jump me from the dark. Gave myself goosebumps and my neck was stiffen with fright... Also a cat jumped out of a trashcan as I passed it, fcking scared the shit out of me, almost gave me a heartattack lol...

Run was fine, but really boring at the same time too. It was well lit this time, so nothing was running wild in my imagination. The next couple weeks will prove to be a challenge, time wise, for me though. Basically got work starting tues-friday 4:30am - 9:30am. Next week sat Ill have regionals to judge for ygo, pretty much an all morning/nighter day. Then the following sat there'll be Kawaii-kon (anime con) that Ill be staffing the entire weekend, for the better parts of the morning/afternoon.

I dont even have a plan on how Im going to jog through all of this. But Ill just play it out as it goes...

The usual. Pretty good run. I got work in less than 8 hours. I should try to get to sleep early, oyasumi~.

Man, I felt so sluggy in today's jog. I pretty much had a 3 hour sleep after work, and ate a big meal after that because I was soo hungry. It really slowed me down, it was pretty frustrating. Tomorrow Ill be more prepared though.
