Okay round 3 of the 5k track. Today I decided to just haul ass, push the entire run as far as I could, heart rate high. Halfway through I felt like I was sick to my stomach and actually had to slow down to a walk with splitting side and breathing heavily. But after a minute, I carried on, trying to pick up a faster pace than last time. I thought I wasn't doing the run that great, but I managed to finish the run in 31 minutes 15 seconds! That's a couple seconds lower than the fastest time I ever clocked 3 years ago. I shaved about 4 minutes off my last run, but this was almost my absolute limit. My goal is to have a good pace all thee way through and finish under 30 minutes. I also checked my weight and I lost about 6 pounds since I started this 5k challenge a week and a half ago. That's actually pretty crazy weight loss. Doing a 5k while fasting will burn fat really fast! Right now my weight is at 130 after the run which is awesome considering my goal is to see under 130 on my weight. This weekend I'm going to try to jog part way up a mountain and see how fast I can get to the summit and back.

I don't know how much this site is getting updated, but it would be great to have a "Prove you're not human" checkbox every once in a while while connecting to the site

I go every year for at least a few weeks. Normally I have friends come down while I'm there and use me as a tour guide for a few days. This year was my first time up in Hokkaido for the snow festival and the first time I saw my favorite park in the snow. Last trip was my first time seeing a live Sumo tournament - the first one in the new IG Arena in Nagoya. The trip before that was my first time showing friends around Kyoto and my opportunity to see Claris' last concert with Karen. Each time has its own charm, but I've always been single when heading out there, so I have yet to experience it all with the right girl on my arm.

The mountain is moving. Thank you Jesus T_T. I was down on my faith. But, still holding on tight to it. When my pastor message me to check on me. I told him I'm holding on I need a mountain moved and I'm trying to surrender. I just vented to him and told him I'm alright. After that I had a change of heart and the thing I had no strength to do before I have the strength to do now. I felt the chains loosening right after talking to my pastor. The chains keeping me from actions in love. Just because I'm a narcissist that doesn't feel anything love is not always a feeling it's a action. And, the chains keeping me from acting is loosening and Imma run away with the slack and remember what's it's like to be free for even a moment. Hallelujah God is good. Mountains do move. It wasn't my strength that moved it I tell you that because I had none. All Glory to the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Surrender leads to freedom just a moment of slack on the chains that bind me I know God is for me. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8b1SP9G/
