So yesterday’s chemistry midterm was ridiculous. The whole time you could hear people muttering curse words as they saw each new problem. And when the proctor announced that we had only 10 minutes left, the class was in uproar! It was almost kind of funny because it took the teaching assistants a good amount of time to get everyone to be quiet again. The good thing is that the entire class is based on averages, so if everyone in the class does poorly there will be a haaaauuugggee curve ;). I’m not overly worried about it.
Anyways, I’m so glad to be done with it! Now I just have to worry about a potential math pop quiz today and my chemistry lab.
After my midterm yesterday, I came back and took a solid two hour nap before lounging around for a while. Eventually, I put on my workout gear and headed to the gym to do a super quick workout. I ran two miles at an 8:34 pace before completing an ab circuit twice through. For some reason the 2 miles I ran were SO hard. I usually hate running on the treadmill so that might have played a role in the difficulty, but I guess I just wasn’t feeling the late workout.
just do your thangg girl!
the dread-mill
Ab Circuit (Repeat x2)
- 20 leg lowering
- 30 bicycle crunches (I hate these!)
- 1 minute plank
- 50 scissor kicks
- 15 leg raises on the captain’s chair
After my workout, I went back home for some dinner with Kyle. I’m never hungry right after I workout so I didn’t have much of an appetite. Dinner was roasted pork loin, a baby sweet potato, and a big ol’ salad. I called it a night at 11:30 after working on some online calculus homework and slept like a baby till 8 this morning! That’s a pretty big accomplishment for me ;).
I think the last couple of days have finally caught up with me because I’m exhausted. I decided not to try to squeeze in a workout since I feel pretty meh. Breakfast was good though! I had some fruit salad with cottage cheese for some protein and split some whole wheat pancakes with Kyle. And coffee. Lots of coffee. 
sweet nectar of life!
Hopefully today passes quickly. I NEED the weekend!
Have a wonderful day!

omg I hate the dreadmill too. it is so boring! I’ve been in rut because its been hot, and I hate the treadmill. At least you pulled through!!!
Same! The only reason I chose to run inside was because it was 74 degrees… at 7 o’clock at night! That’s ridiculous :/. It turns out the gym was pretty scorching too so I didn’t really avoid the heat haha.
The treadmill does get boring but good job finishing up your run! And the sweet nectar of life…Amen and amen
Thanks girlie! I’m not sure why just 2 miles were so tough, I was about ready to quit after only 15 minutes!
this may sound maniacal, but i find that watching a classroom of kids struggle/complain in unison quite funny 😉 sometimes the body needs a break, after all the mental/physical exertion i’m sure that it appreciates it! i read somewhere that rest days are just as body-beneficial as training days. good luck on that (possible) math quiz!
Hahaha I can totally relate! If I am going to do poorly on an impossible exam, they better fail as well (muahahhah)! I think you’re completely right about that. It’ll be nice to take a break from things. Thanks girlie

Congrats for getting through the exam! I both love and hate the treadmill – I definitely find it harder than the outdoors when just going at a constant pace but I do love it for interval training! I can’t wait for the weekend either, have a great one!
