Accountability

Lately (maybe the last few weeks?) I've had the overwhelming feeling that my life has been spinning a little bit out of control (and in a general downward direction) in several different aspects but most tangibly (and easiest to take charge of) is my health and general self-care. A few weeks ago I had a persistent headache that nothing would cut, accompanied by some weird head lumps and general malaise. After the internet helped me diagnose myself with stage 4 brain cancer, I took a trip to the campus doctor and got an A+ on my mono test. Awesome. I've finally reached adolescence. 95% chance I got it at my birthday party from a dude on my flip cup team (DAMN YOU, NICK!).

In addition to that, I've been eating like a bona fide grad student and am currently in the "trough" sector of the wavelength spectrum that is my physical fitness. I feel gross and tired and vaguely unhappy. In an attempt to do something about anything, I'm going to start some gentle running, and to keep myself vaguely accountable, I will report my progress here. Most likely, this will last for all of 2 entries (as most exercise blogs by people like me do) and also be largely uninteresting to everyone (including myself) but at 5:30 on a Wednesday, I guess I could do worse. So here's day 1 of my slightly less intermittent exercise regimen. Running outside.*

*Running outside will likely soon be replaced by running inside, followed by inide elliptical-ing, followed by going back to being a lazy fuck.

That's my wacky, totally unoriginal accountability post for now. Maybe more to come.

HUGS.
