1.6s
sprint triathlon.
13.6s
run today, but I honestly haven't been feeling great this week, so I think I might take it easy today. there was. The coffee beans came out a little watery and I forget if that means that I need to grind it finer or if it needs to be more coarse. Definitely not

might take it easy today.

there was. The coffee beans came out a
28.6s
little watery and I forget if that means
30.7s
that I need to grind it finer or if it
33.9s
needs to be more coarse. Definitely not
36.8s
my finest work, but let's see. here. Low key. put like two more pumps. saying, I'm not feeling my best today. And I know that I probably shouldn't be drinking coffee and I should be drinking
49.0s
here. Low key.
54.1s
put like two more pumps.
61.3s
saying, I'm not feeling my best today.
62.6s
And I know that I probably shouldn't be
64.2s
drinking coffee and I should be drinking
65.8s
tea instead. But I'm going to San Diego in like 2 hours. So, I need some caffeine to keep me awake. The plan is rest today, drive down to San Diego, rest some more. Hopefully, I'm able to get a run in tomorrow morning. We saved the coffee, guys. We saved the coffee. I
69.2s
in like 2 hours. So, I need some
72.4s
caffeine to keep me awake. The plan is
74.2s
rest today, drive down to San Diego,
76.8s
rest some more. Hopefully, I'm able to
79.1s
get a run in tomorrow morning. We saved
81.5s
the coffee, guys. We saved the coffee. I
84.5s
thought that in putting my hand here, I would look more natural, but I think that I just look weirder. I don't know. I'm still getting used to being in front of the camera and talking to the camera. Give me some warm-up time. If you've seen any of my previous vlogs, you'll know that I'm currently training for a
86.2s
would look more natural, but I think
87.4s
that I just look weirder. I don't know.
89.0s
I'm still getting used to being in front
90.6s
of the camera and talking to the camera.
92.5s
Give me some warm-up time. If you've
93.8s
seen any of my previous vlogs, you'll
95.2s
know that I'm currently training for a
96.8s
10K and I'm documenting the process right now. The race is in June and I think how many more days are there until June 6. It's 57 days until it's not my first time running 10 kilometers, but it's my first time participating in a race. So, back in 2020, I was training for a Ragnar, which
98.7s
right now. The race is in June and I
102.5s
think how many more days are there until
105.6s
June 6.
107.6s
It's 57 days until
109.3s
it's not my first time running 10
111.1s
kilometers, but it's my first time
113.8s
participating in a race. So, back in
116.2s
2020, I was training for a Ragnar, which
118.3s
is a 200 mile team race split up between 12 people. So, each runner runs three legs. And for me, I think my total distance would have been around 15 to 18. So, kind of in that half marathon range. I think that my legs had more hills, so that was kind of the trade-off, but that got cancelled
120.7s
12 people. So, each runner runs three
123.0s
legs. And for me, I think my total
126.0s
distance would have been around 15 to
130.4s
18. So, kind of in that half marathon
133.0s
range. I think that my legs had more
135.9s
hills, so that was kind of the
137.7s
trade-off, but that got cancelled
139.0s
because of COVID. So, I'm excited to actually experience my first race and get my bib and run with a bunch of people and cross the finish line, get my medal. I don't think I've shared this online yet because I'm I'm still like flirting around with the idea. The reason why I've registered for a 10K is
141.6s
actually experience my first race and
144.2s
get my bib and run with a bunch of
146.3s
people and cross the finish line, get my
149.8s
medal. I don't think I've shared this
152.1s
online yet because I'm I'm still like
155.2s
flirting around with the idea. The
157.4s
reason why I've registered for a 10K is
160.6s
reason why I've registered for a 10K is because drum roll. I'm thinking about signing up for a sprint triathlon in October. I don't think you understand how insane that is for me to say. My swimming endurance is non-existent. Running, I've always liked running. Biking, I don't think I've actually ever biked clipped
163.0s
drum roll. I'm thinking about signing up
165.0s
for a sprint triathlon
167.4s
in October.
169.4s
I don't think you understand how insane
172.3s
that is for me to say. My swimming
174.8s
endurance is non-existent. Running, I've
176.8s
always liked running. Biking, I don't
178.9s
think I've actually ever biked clipped
181.3s
in, you know? Like I think the furthest that I got was practicing clipping in and out against a wall. The 10K is in June. The sprint try is in October, so I have a lot of time and I didn't want to announce it online yet just in case I don't do it. But I am going to
182.9s
that I got was practicing clipping in
184.6s
and out against a wall. The 10K is in
187.7s
June. The sprint try is in October,
191.9s
so I have a lot of time and I didn't
193.8s
want to announce it online yet just in
195.4s
case I don't do it. But I am going to
196.8s
start recording little clips here and there of being on the stationary bike and swimming. So like I feel like you would have known anyways. Just feel like this year something has finally like I don't know if I want to say clicked or snapped in my brain. two different connotations, but I am just itching to
198.6s
there of being on the stationary bike
200.2s
and swimming. So like I feel like you
202.1s
would have known anyways. Just feel like
203.8s
this year something has finally like I
205.7s
don't know if I want to say clicked or
207.8s
snapped in my brain. two different
209.6s
connotations, but I am just itching to
212.6s
get into endurance sports and challenge myself in a way that I'm not used to. Maybe a part of it is because I'm a sports massage therapist and for so long I've been living vicariously through my clients. I've never seriously entertained the thought of being an athlete as an adult. I just really want
215.0s
myself in a way that I'm not used to.

athlete as an adult. I just really want
226.8s
to challenge myself to push beyond all those limiting beliefs that I have. Even though I have no idea what I'm doing, really the only advantage that I have going into this is how to recognize the signs of early injury. I've ranted enough. I'm all caffeinated now. That's enough. I'm all caffeinated now. That's why

enough. I'm all caffeinated now. That's
241.0s
enough. I'm all caffeinated now. That's why
242.7s
kind of want to run. All this talk is making me kind of want to run. Like, am I really sick? I don't know. Should I go for a run? Actually, I have time. 1257. I don't have time cuz I'm not packed. Just in case you were wondering, um, gas is 6 in LA right now. 630 6 How
244.4s

Just in case you were wondering,
259.4s
um, gas is 6 in LA right now. 630 6 How
264.9s
much was it? So for 87 much was it? So for 87 Mhm. six bucks. Oh my gosh. Crazy.

270.1s
Oh my gosh. Crazy.
286.6s
for a threemile run, which I haven't done yet since I started this program. And it's a little hot outside and there are lots of squirrels around. So, we'll see how Kiomi does, but she's definitely ready to go. I know this is her least favorite part. She hates waiting for me to warm up. Look at her.

She hates waiting for me to warm up.
305.0s
Look at her.
316.4s
can't do this. Am I doing it? She's a runner. She's a track star. Just need a double hair tie my hair, otherwise it falls out. I'm hoping to get it done in like 35 I'm hoping to get it done in like 35 minutes.

slide for as long as we can and then loop back around. So, we'll stay on the trail and not go on the concrete. How's that sound? Good. I was supposed to take this 20 minutes before the run. for this today.
347.1s
loop back around. So, we'll stay on the

370.8s
for this today.
374.2s
It's really hot today and it's like already midm morning. So, didn't really time the fueling right. And it said it was going to be 71, but it's burning right now. It's going back up the bridge and around. Look how pretty it is. It's really hot. Taking my first walking break. Round at the bridge twice, but
377.2s
already midm morning. So, didn't really
380.9s
time the fueling right. And it said it
383.4s

It's really hot. Taking my first walking

break. Round at the bridge twice, but
395.8s
it's really, really hot now. No shade. You're done. It's too hot for you, too. You're done. It's too hot for you, too. Of course, the one time I don't record myself making coffee, I pull the most perfect shot of espresso. Why is that? training for the sprint triathlon until after I complete my 10k, but I do think
399.1s
You're done. It's too hot for you, too.
402.2s
You're done. It's too hot for you, too. Of
405.0s
course, the one time I don't record

413.0s
Why is that?
418.2s
training for the sprint triathlon until
420.4s
after I complete my 10k, but I do think
423.0s
I need to take extra time to learn how to swim again. The swim is the event that I'm most afraid of. You can get off a bike and you can walk instead of run, but you can't stop swimming in open water. And luckily, I have a friend who's a personal trainer and was also a
425.3s
to swim again. The swim is the event
427.7s
that I'm most afraid of. You can get off

water. And luckily, I have a friend
435.6s
who's a personal trainer and was also a
437.4s
competitive swimmer diver who is going to trade me swimming lessons for sports massages. I have a pool in my apartment complex. It's been under construction and it's supposed to be finished by the end of this week. We're halfway through our 30 minute run. And I know that might seem like a short distance for some
440.0s
to trade me swimming lessons for sports

massages. I have a pool in my apartment

451.1s
our 30 minute run. And I know that might
453.7s
seem like a short distance for some
455.0s
people, but what I tell myself as I continue to progress is that one day it'll be easy. It's hard right now, but one day it'll be easy. You just got to keep doing it. Postr run oatmeal bowl. I'm trying to be better about fueling. After every run, I always feel so good

468.2s
After every run, I always feel so good
469.8s
about myself, even if I'm not having a good day. Wait, I reached a 10e streak on Strava. Oh my gosh. I told myself that once I reach my 100th activity on Straa, I get to celebrate the milestone by splurging at a pair of running sunglasses. Yay. Feel like at my current level of fitness, a 10K feels feasible,
472.0s
good day. Wait, I reached a 10e streak

Straa, I get to celebrate the milestone

by splurging at a pair of running
484.0s
sunglasses. Yay. Feel like at my current
486.9s
level of fitness, a 10K feels feasible,
488.8s
but a sprint triathlon feels much more ambitious. I can think of a lot of reasons to not do it. I have no swimming stamina. I'm afraid of open water swimming. It's expensive. My respiratory conditions. But I think that this experience is going to be a really good opportunity for me to learn to redirect

experience is going to be a really good
501.4s
opportunity for me to learn to redirect
504.7s
my thinking from something that's more pessimistic or negative or limiting to something that's much more optimistic and motivational and inspiring. And I got to say, I really did not understand endurance athletes before. I couldn't wrap my head around why someone would want to put themselves through so much pain. But at least for me, endurance
506.3s
pessimistic or negative or limiting to
509.4s
something that's much more optimistic
512.1s
and motivational and inspiring. And I

wrap my head around why someone would

want to put themselves through so much

525.1s
sports is all about overcoming and proving to yourself that you can do hard things. And if you can swim in open water and you can cycle right after and then you can run a 5K or a half marathon or a full marathon right after that, that you can do hard things in other
526.9s
proving to yourself that you can do hard
529.0s
things. And if you can swim in open
532.3s
water and you can cycle right after and

then you can run a 5K or a half marathon
536.9s
or a full marathon right after that,
538.9s
that you can do hard things in other
541.0s
aspects of your life, too. I think I'm going to wrap up the vlog with that and I'll see you in the next one.
