Cashew Chicken, No Chicken
That was my fortune from last night. I took my friend out for Chinese to celebrate her birthday. I ordered my usual - cashew chicken, no chicken. I love being a vegetarian. Anyway, when I opened my fortune cookie and got that fortune, I smiled. I'm like that - I believe those corny things...and horoscopes...Mostly because every so often, I need a li'l mental boost, and hearing something like that helps.
So, still riding my fortune cookie high when I got up this morning, I decided to go for a run. It was only 26 degrees (F) out (-3 degrees C), but it wasn't windy, so I thought I'd be okay. Shit. I was wrong. It kicked my ass. And my quads. And my shoulders. And my throat. Hahah. It ended being a combination run-walk, but either way, I finished the whole 5.25 miles (8.44 kilometers). I plan on doing it again tomorrow morning, hopefully running more and walking less. Hopefully it'll be a little warmer. Getting my breathing under control was the worst the part. Well, after I finished the run/walk, I went into the gym and did another 45 minutes of cardio (15 minutes on the stationary bike and 30 minutes on the elliptical). I feel okay. Not as good as I should feel, but that's because I'm kinda disappointed in my run/walk. Oh well. Tomorrow is another day, right?
I guess that's really all I have to say for now. Nothing big going on lately. Got the bottom half my tattoo finished - dunno if I mentioned that or not. I have a picture of it, but it's one that I took with my digicam's timer, so it's not the best. Plus, I look...wide. And I have enough issues with my body right now...but I'm loving the ink! So far, the kanji I have in it are "strength," "overcome," "bravery," "fierce," and "honor." I have two left - loyalty and will - but they'll be negatives, meaning instead of being black inside the outline of a star, the star will be black and the kanji will just be outline (not filled in). I guess you hafta see the piece to totally understand it, eh??
Well, Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! Stay safe tonight...I'd be drinking, but I think that's not the best thing for me right now...Way to be smart, Chelsea!!

I worked really hard on my breathing technique when running on the treadmill. But since I've been running outside, I can't seem to get it down very well. I try to breathe more through my nose but that hurts b/c of the cold weather...but then breathing primarily through the mouth isn't good and also creates massive plegm problems (yuck). It's tough but I guess once you get it down it's very helpful.
