Almost failed

Last night was almost the end of my #RWRunStreak I had absolutely no motivation to go out and run, I knew in the back of my mind that I should and I would feel really guilty in the morning if I didn't go. But it was just a crazy hard day at work and I just did not want to stand on my feet one more minute. However my loving boyfriend did know and understand and what was going though my mind when I walked back to the bedroom and didn't come back out. Apparently I had said I was just going to change and be ready for the gym. A few hours later when I hadn't gone to meet him he came back into the room at 930 pm to find me half sleep.
He pulled me out of bed and made me go to the gym. I love him for that. Because he helped me realize that I did have the energy to do 1.31 mi in under 15 minutes and stretch all to get back to the apartment before he even thought about going to bed.

This morning I even got up extra early and did a long run for training. I love morning runs on cloudy days no one is ever out and I don't have to feel self conscious about how I look in my workout attire, this morning it was a 3.51 mile run around the tiny town I currently live in. It was quite enjoyable until the sun came out and made things bitterly humid, which was in turn accentuated by the crazy drivers coming out, (almost got hit twice today).

One last point for me to make tonight before bed, why is it that the male population feels the need to make women feel like things that must be ogled and treated like a peice of meat? I try to take it in stride but if a girl tries to get advice about clothing from a forum that is not the time to get sexual. And when I am polite and say that I will use your idea by myself, that is not the point to state that "two sets of hands are better than one", then when the girl says that there are already two sets of hands where she is and she really does not need the help from said male. That is no reason to push the issue further to the point that she gets blunt and and tells you to bug off. Now at this point there were several areas where this particular male could have gotten off the train without being a total douche. Yet he did not, he proceeded to try and make me feel like I was the one in the wrong for being in a group dedicated to female issues, and for calling him out on his bs; "because I came into his 'subculture and tried to impose my morality on it!' You have got to be kidding me. 'Subculture' B*tch please you wish it was a sub-culture, it is  at best just a small group of women needing the approval of men performing the base instincts of the human race. At worst it is men prowling for weak women whom they can take advantage of. I was there looking for advice from the women in the group who might have had the same issues as I in regards to fitness and you made me feel like a stupid geek in high school. What happened to adult behavior online? 

I guess even I am breaking that rule with this rant which is longer than the content I had originally intended this post to be about. But I suppose the real question. Is has anyone ever made you feel that way online, like you were some insignificant little piss-ant which rained on their parade for being who you are? I hope not because I didn't like it in high school and I still don't like it now. 

  1. Hope tomorrow is better than today. Good night my friends. (^_^)/
