Even if they don´t accept my works, you miss 100% of the chances you don´t take! I´ll just have fun and do my best!
Had a one-hour walk with my ex and a 1,5-hour walk with his brother who´s staying at their place for the summer so got my low impact cardio for today. Now at home, I need to eat something. I had one big can of Red Bull between the walks (migraine is here with a vengeance and caffeine and taurine help a bit) so I´won´t have anything carb heavy before I go to bed. I´ll start with 100g of turkey and wait a bit to see if it´s enough or if I need something else.
Then again, I got pretty sleep deprived in the last few weeks so I probably needed it. Had weird nightmares. My psyche is flushing out something, big time. Contagion was a theme. Yuck.
It was a long dream with several "scenes", one that stuck with me was happening at autumn, mist crawling from the fields. I had left a party I didn´t want to be at and headed to the supermarket to get food. There was a national emergency broadcast from the supermarket´s speakers that told everyone to stay inside, so me and other shoppers blocked the doors and noted that at least holed up in there we wouldn´t run out of food and drink. But as new information began to emerge and the officials stated that the lockdown is due to an infectious disease spread by humans, everyone began to panic. I started to realize that some people didn´t panic at all but instead seemed to delight in the situation. The staff organized a census count to find out who were in the supermarket, and at that point I got a bad feeling and tried to slink away. Made my way down the ice tea and juice isle and when people hollered at me to join the queue for the census, I tried to make up excuses and GTFO. On my way out, one of the clerks, a young woman, whispered to me that isn´t there something really strange going on? I turned to look at her, and she ripped out her false eyelashes and stung my eye with them, then giggled maniacally. I immediately understood that she had infected me; after all, her bodily fluids were on the falsies, even if in tiny amounts. I bargained to myself - maybe this isn´t that bad, it´s not a huge amount, blood or saliva would be so much worse. But I knew it wasn´t true. I knew I was done for and headed outside without anyone stopping me. I knew it would probably be better to stay inside and not spread the infection, but if this was all it took, would there really be any uninfected outside? I wanted to go die in the woods at least and not under the fluorescent lights. Brrr.
General cardio, improved leg strength, plus a little less weight would absolutely translate into an easier time walking/running up stairs. Definitely not easier on the knees than normal running though, no matter how slowly you take it.
