@gabriel_true Day 154: Woke up early and went to the mall with my mom, older sisters and grandma. I spent some of my Birthday money at 5-Below (just some snacks and two small drinks for me and my twin) and helped/ran into a man outside of the mall with, what seemed like, some mental issues. He thanked me after I talked to him and then randomly froze, stared at me deep in thought, then told me: "If you ever need me to beat someone's a*s, let me know and I'll do it." I told him that I appreciated the gesture, but I was fine and he kept insisting that he'll help me if I ever need it. He then says, "No. Cause I can really help you-" *looks at me closely*-"you look like a sister, so if you ever need me to fight somebody for you, I'm right here." The conversation tickled me and then I ran back to my family to tell them what he said. My older sisters immediately had the same train of thought as me, because we said he must have sensed I was half black which is why he referred to me as a sista. But to be honest...maybe he genuinely meant that I look like a sister XD, that there's something very sister-like about me which makes him want to fight for me. Which would be true! I'm a sister five times over lol. Younger than four and older than one, so it's true that I look like SOMEBODY'S sister...just not his XD. - He Meant Well, That's All That Matters: Ying-Ying

25 days until my mead is ready for it's next step. The wait is excruciating XD https://media1.tenor.com/m/g02Xs9DcGt0AAAAd/piddel-piddel-meme.gif

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.
