SLEEPEΛTSTUDY REPEΛT

Chanel Elise. 20. Second year nursing student. On the road to becoming a better me.

Currently Working towards running injury-free, and bettering my yoga practice.

I spend my time wasting film, procrastinating, brainstorming, studying and working at my crap-tastic job. This is my place to post anything and everything I like, whether it be fitspiration, medical stuff, inspirational, or ranting about my busy, non-existent life as a nursing student.

How’s life everyone? My blog has been quiet, I know. To be honest it’s due to lack of time; personal time, which is strange for me if you didn’t already know. I still have health goals in the back of my head every day with no time to fit anything in it seems! So we’ll keep it simple. Mini updates: I’ve been running once a week, trying to build up my endurance again. Still on ‘week one’ of this running program.  Things are good with the boy, we’ve done the “meet my parents” (my mom flew down for the weekend so that was a once-in-a-blue-moon situation). Planning on bussing it to ontario from his place in saskatchewan after a few days near christmas. Pathopharm part 2 is kicking my ass and I need 65% on the final to pass. Just over 2 weeks left to study so I’m hoping I can pull it off. I have today off and tomorrow/friday are my last clinical shifts so i will have lots of time next week to hunker down. Life in res is still great, surrounded by friends, family comes by to visit, and it’s a place for myself when I need it to be. (my room mate emily is on the left in this pic <3 ) In summary, I’m knocking on wood every 10 seconds because I’m so not use to life being normal like this. Hoping to find more time this week to run and work on some personal stuff since life has been so busy lately.

Today is my last day living in the Sunbank House. Now, I could sit and complain about how difficult some days were to live here, but I won’t. The fact is that this is a family that I have grown up (pretty much) my whole life with. No one is perfect, and everyone has bad days. And despite all that they/we are going through, they all made room in their home for an outsider and welcomed me in like a daughter/annoying sibling.  This year will be tough, but I know I’m going to learn from it. I get to experience how to truly live on my own, take care of my own well-being, and make my own decisions. I choose to believe that this year has great things in store for me and I’m gunna work my butt of my make sure it does. Also, I will miss this dog. Not the other one cause he smells funny. /sappy rant.
Flying back to reality in T-3 hours. Adios Ontario, It’s been fun.
Well, we finally made it. Tonight marks our final run together this summer (until christmas break) and the end of our “Couch 2 5k” program. My dad says to me… “You know, I’ve never ever finished a fitness program in my life before?”  I’m honestly so proud of both of us. We worked our asses off; pushed each other off the couch at night, out of bed in the mornings, and farther and farther with every run. I may not have reached my fitness goal yet, but I’ve made a great start, and there is no one who can say we didn’t try our hardest this summer to get in shape. And I really feel like we did =) My dad is the best running partner I could have asked for… and I didn’t even have to ask! I head back to calgary tomorrow.. and there couldn’t have been a better send off.  xx -C
postrunnnnnnnn.
