Running: Day 1

     So, today I started the 8-week running challenge, I'm tired. The challenge consists of intervals of running and walking. Today was the very first week, starting Monday, I ran 1 minute as fast as I could, then walked for 2 minutes. On the treadmill my running speed started at 5.0 then escalated to 7.0. As for my walking, that started at 3.0 and ended at 3.5.

     While I first started running a lot of thoughts crossed my mind, like my emotionally abusive relationship, luckily into the running those thoughts stopped. The stress from thinking about my fast paced summer classes just ran away with every interval I did. It is truly an amazing feeling. Below is the program in which I'm following for this week, also attached is the link.

     Tomorrow will be my easy walking day, honestly though this first day is already got me feeling the tiredness and the dreadfulness because I am out of shape and haven't worked out in awhile. Looking forward to keeping everyone updated on my progress and how I'm feeling. Deep down, I know running will have me feeling amazing soon enough, it's all a matter of staying in the challenge and not giving up. Posts on this challenge will be on every day I run. Still debating whether to show before and after pictures. Comment if you would be interested on seeing before and after, also if you are participating on this challenge. Support is HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

Finale

Today was a very emotional morning because earlier this day I stayed up chatting with a friend until 2 a.m. We chatted about memories, good memories, then I got super depressed because I started missing the chats with my emotionally abusive boyfriend.

These emotions are literally horrible, it's like you're leaving a chunk of you behind to only have it tugging at you constantly, never truly letting you go or you getting away from it. Reading other blogs helped me, because I saw other people who are going through or went through what I am. The best advice the blogs had to offer are::

  1. Delete all memories ie. pictures, texts
  2. Hide all belongings in which they gave to you
  3. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CALL OR TEXT THE EX
  4. Remember you
Going through relationships is strongly like losing a loved one to death.One moment you're chatting fine, next minute you're arguing and within seconds or days they're completely gone from your life, but never forgotten. 

I have accomplished the first and third step, I find it extremely difficult not to think of him when I'm wearing my Nikes; he bought my first ever pair. I was also wearing his shirt to bed last night, so that didn't help my coping.

Step 2 starts tomorrow, step 4 is going to take awhile, however I believe my 8-week running challenge starting this Monday will speed things up.

Until tomorrow, goodnight.

No running, love story time.

I didn't run, I started my period, which I know is not a good excuse it just felt right at the time. Monday will definitely be the start of the challenge. Lately, work has got my preoccupied and since the break-up,I just want to lay in bed all day and eat. Alright, I have a lot of excuses for not working out but that's my reason. Being lazy is not okay when you have many emotions but it sure as hell feels sadly happy.

Anyways, it has been a week now that I have completely broke away from my emotionally abusive relationship. Every morning he's the first one on my mind, always the last too. It is a horrible feeling to be so attached to a person who just walked away throughout the entire relationship. There were so many signs but I literally refused to see them. The only things I saw was the weird love he offered, I can't seem to distance myself from him. Sometimes I feel as if his abuse to my mental state was karma for how I acted with every guy I had been with, but I don't believe that could be it. All the love I ever offered was true, however, I never got what I offered back.

There was always one guy who I felt never judged me and was genuinely there for me. Unfortunately I could not find myself physically attracted to him.

See, I loved everything about this guy who emotionally abused me. I loved his abuse, and it sickens me all the same time. Why do people kiss with their eyes open: because they're not truly in the moment. I was warned. I fight myself everyday to not text, to not call. I now call the number in which he blocked me. I stalked him once I found out he went on a date with a girl whom he told me was just a friend. I met her once, he said he was at work and my mom told me he was at starbucks and when I showed up he was there with this girl named Vanessa, the same name of a girl who homewrecked my previous relationship, he introduced me to her as his girlfriend even told me he loved me in front of her. She still pursued him. So, when I found out they went on a date I stalked him.

I showed up at his car and he let me in, I asked him for a hug and he hugged me, I thought he was going to try to rebuild us. Later on I messaged him, and he was sick asked me to take him food at work, I did. I feel so fucken retarded, but I love him so I went. He asked me to take him to a meeting in which he had to attend, I took him because I thought he was using it as an excuse to see me because he could have taken an uber, he canceled his uber, I thought it was because he wanted to see me. He didn't want to see me. In his words "it was just easier to have you take me." Later on in that week I messaged him and asked if we could meet up, we did and he chatted with me shortly and was in a hurry, but we talked about nothing really. He honestly didn't want to see me.

We played some Dota games together, and then I lost it mentally. When we hanged out he told me he was over me and to leave him alone, I didn't. I did once I messaged him and his reply was "stop bugging me." I kept trying to work us out, to be with him, and he shamed me for it. He told me I could never win him back, I told him he should be fighting for me, he laughed in my face.

Long story short, I finally released myself from him, and it kills me to know I still love him and he's out there fucking around with other girls. it makes me sad that I am not attracted to guys who are genuinely nice to me, instead I'm attracted to guys who can leave me in seconds and have no remorse or regrets on losing me. #storyofmylife

The only feel which keeps afloat is knowing one day I will meet a man who will offer me the same emotional support as I can offer him.

On May 16, 2016, I will begin a running challenge also known as the 8-week beginner's program. It requires one to run in intervals then slowly but surely you start improving until you're running for 30 minutes without stopping.

I have done this challenge before after a breakup, I was really depressed about it however we got back together and then I stopped the challenge. Well I am recently single again from said boyfriend so now I'm going to start again. I'm starting a new beginning for me and this will be apart of it. 

It's a magical feeling to look like yourself but different. Pictures will be posted with my results (pictures will not be showing me half-naked). Also, if you would like to do this challenge just click this link →http://www.runnersworld.com/getting-started/the-8-week-beginners-program

Also, if you choose to do the challenge and feel like giving up or want to share results contact me, I'm here for you! We can be running buddies together from afar. Or near if you live in Oxnard, CA. Now I'm going to play Dota, you can catch those plays soon on my YouTube Channel. :D
