To NOT Do list:

run a 5K.

because seriously, it wasn't fun. actually, walking it was nice, but running? nope. i also now realize why i hate running without a purpose, aka during soccer. because i've nothing else to think about but the fact that the reason i can't breath is the fact that i'm running. i can feel my throat closing as i start getting going, and thats it for me. i'm done. i like breathing normally, without wheezing and coughing like mom. it doesn't happen unless i run. my physiology prof says its 'exercise induced asthma'. i guess i'll need an inhaler soon. oh, and, exercising out in the cold made my hands swell up like sausages. it was SO gross. i could barely get my ring off. nastayyy. (ps. does that happen during pregnancy too? i'll have to hide my own hands from my own face. bleh.)

but all in all, once i started breathing semi-normally again, i could enjoy walking around provo. not that there is much to look at, but i do like the feel of being outside and working muscles. and when i wasn't thinking about getting enough oxygen, i could think of Mason and my Aunt Leson, who are fighting/fought cancer in their lives. The 5K money goes directly to cancer research. it was a good reflection period. prayers for Mason, memories of Leson. and there was the cutest puppy there too! :D i'm having non-human mammal withdrawls. from working at a vet and having two dogs to living in a dorm room? annoying.

but would i do it again? probably not.

i'll stick to my tae bo and that jump rope stretchy thingy i have.
