It just gets exhausting to be this vigilant, know what I mean?<br \/>\nI&#8217;m glad to say that over this break I have met my goals, pretty much.  I&#8217;m at the peak of PMS, so I don&#8217;t have a realistic weigh-in scale report to share (I have 3-7 pound weight fluctuations at this time that really mess with me, so I try to stay off the scale during the last week or so of my cycle), but I am tremendously pleased to report that I exercised like a beast this break.  I did not slack a single day.  Yes, two of those days only got a brisk walk or hike in, but the other seven days were running days.  I ran between 2- 4.5 miles per day.  I wanted to get solid exercise habits under my belt and knock my insecure doubting self to the curb.  Believe it or not, I began to doubt that I actually even could be a runner anymore- it was wonderful to relegate that negative thought to the garbage can it belonged in.  I&#8217;m feeling a pretty solid return to my good habits on Monday, when I return to school.  I feel ready to, literally, hit the ground running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve made no secret of my struggle over the past few weeks.
