I was working out today and watching some movie at the same time, and in the movie, this guy was reciting poetry. He said that line ('When the sun interrupted the moon...) and it just stuck with me. I really like that line. I'm so corny sometimes.
I'm so proud of myself! I've decided that I want to train myself to be able to run marathons. It's going to be hard, and I probably won't be ready to do a true marathon for at least a year (marathons are 26.2 miles for those that don't know) but, I have to start somewhere right? A coworker of mine (one of the few females officers at the department) gave me suggestions on how to build my endurance. I had been researching online earlier in the day and found so many different suggestions that I felt kind of lost. But, Anne (who wanted to be a physical trainer before becoming a cop) suggested I run 3-4 times a week. She suggested interval training as well as running at a regular pace. So here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to start off by running 3 times a week. A week for me is going to be Saturday through Wednesday (Thursdays and Fridays are my days off), so the running will take place sometime in there. I'll work out after work, no matter how late I get off (typically I get off work at 11pm...ish).
So far, I ran a mile yesterday, that was my crappy day. Today I ran 2.32 miles (!!) and did some weight lifting (upper body). Tomorrow I will do the interval training Anne suggested. I'll jog for a bit, then sprint for a bit, then jog, then sprint. That's if Matt and I don't run tomorrow. If Matt and I go for a run, then I'll do the interval training on Wednesday. So I say I'm going to do it 3 times a week, but it might turn out to be more if Matt and I go running after a shift. But no matter what, Thursdays and Fridays will be the days I don't work out, because if I don't give myself a break I'll overdue it. So anyway, then I'll work out my lower body one of those days. I really do enjoy working out, it's just a matter of finding time to do it. Now that my schedule is a little less hectic it's so much easier. However, school starts at the end of this week. I'm only taking 2 classes, and I'm used to taking 5, so this hopefully should be a breeze. Of course my job is a lot harder now so we'll see.
I appreciate the suggestions/lectures I received from my Kirt post. I guess I want to say that I'm not a horrible person. I'm really not. I'm not one of those cold hearted bitches you hear about that go out and break marriages. I know you guys don't feel that way about me (at least I hope you don't...), but I guess I'm concerned with myself because I feel terrible about all this. I'm concerned because I don't really care what his wife thinks. I don't like her. That's no excuse to sleep with him. I know it's not. And I would kill the bitch that messed with my husband if it were me (and then I'd kill my husband...) and I'm trying to think of that. I'm trying. I just find myself struggling and it's a unique situation for me that I am truly trying to overcome. So far it has been good. Of course, I haven't seen him in 4 days. I will tomorrow. So I guess tomorrow's the start of my test. Can I forget him?

listen i don't think you'd actually do anything w/ that guy, but something else you might want to think about is that you are a woman, and you're young in a mostly older male world/workplace. at this point they are giving you a chance and starting to respect you. you let any little peice of this slip and it could ruin your career there.
and i know all of this. and im trying to think about all of that as well. like i've been saying, it's just a struggle im dealing with. if it's not one thing, it's something else right? i'll get over him. i'll try and focus on "blake", now that he is officially single, he is not off limits.
You'll get over your crush eventually.
But good job on training for a marathon. I've never been able to run; even as a child I hated running under any circumstances. I can hit and field, but I just can't run. Besides the asthma, I am not built for running at all. Needless to say I wasn't popular w/ my gym teachers or class/team mates. 7th grade softball was a humiliation I could have lived w/o.
