So, last night, I had my softball game. It was the playoffs. We lost the first one, so we played a double header for 5th place. Lost that game, so we came in dead last. Now, THAT does not bother me.
The shortstop threw a low stinger at me (I play first), and it bounced on the HARD infield ground RIGHT INTO my lower leg. Thankfully, it didn't hit directly on my shin, it would've broke it probably, but it hit the side into the shin. Lemme put it this way, EVERYONE said they could hear the WHUMP noise it made. OUCH!!! That didn't bother me either.
What BOTHERS me is the fact that I totally was planning on running tonight. BUT, I can't. I mean, I could, but most likely, it'd just aggravate the 5inx3in bump and bruise I have...and make it worse. Besides, walking on it hurts. I think it's the muscle surrounding the bone that is sore.
I'm all bummed. I mean. I have 14 weeks left. I'm having an outpatient surgury in late August that'll put me out of commission for 2 weeks (no exercise). So, that means, I need this leg to heal by Monday (possibly), so I'll have 5 weeks to start running, have surgury, then out for two weeks, and then have 5 more weeks again to get to that 5k. Honestly, I'm thinking I'll wait for registration until the first 5 weeks are up.
10 weeks with a 2 week break? They say, as much time as you take off from running, it takes double the time to get back up to speed.
AUGH! I don't think I'll be making my Oct 19th deadline.
I'm bummed. But maybe this is incentive for me to work HARDER before my surgury and work hard AFTER it.
Just in a bleah mood today.

Thanks Miranda, and yes, I'm the one with ADHD, but it's borderline. Although, you're probably right that I do have a hard time reading ppl, but I was just moody that entire week. Like little things were setting me off, and well, it didn't really have anything to do with anything. I think I was just testy. Lots going on in my life, and well, one thing after another was falling apart and bf was irritating me. lol. BUT, I did think it was rude of him not to at least let me know what was going on with his jury duty. I think that's common courtesy, nothing else. I did the same for him.
Ah, interpersonal r'ships and ADHD. I'm just now realizing how much it can affect me. lol. I mean, I chat with SS and I go off on a tangent and she makes fun of my ADD. lol. Which, I never realized it was........sorta. I have always gone off on tangents, it's just me. lol. And now I see it's my ADHD.
I need to get an ADULT ADD book.

Steffy,
For the most part, women and I don't get along. Mostly because I like men. lol. I mean, I act like them, relate better with them, am not into shopping, style, food, girly things. I'm more into sporty type things. Now, find me a woman that does that and gets along with men too, and I'll have a good friend. But sometimes, I've noticed it's a matter of developing a close strong bond with a woman that I have issues with. It's hard when for the most part, I don't have close bonds with ANY women. Only a handful. And nowdays, most of them are ONLINE! lol. Gotta figure out how to make friends.
As for ADHD, my therapist said she thought I was, and had me tested. I took the "simple" test and was borderline, if I want more specifics, I was told to pay $300 for a computer test. I was like, it's not that important to know the specifics. But at least I was told WHERE I'm more ADHD than not.
Also, they told me ADHD, but not sure about the huge diff. btwn ADD and ADHD. As a laughing side note, the therapist who did the test said he could tell I have some sort of ADD as I sat there talking to him before taking the test. And since he was just like me, we had LOTS of tangents to go off on. lol.
Lemme see if I can find some sites.

The "H" part of ADHD symptoms: (mine are highlighted in blue)
Symptoms of Hyperactivity
10. Often fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat
11. Often leaves seat in classroom or in other situations in which remaining seated is expected (I don't do this, but I'll fidget constantly or keep switching positions)
12. Often runs about or climbs excessively in situations in which it is inappropriate (in adolescents or adults, may be limited to subjective feelings of restlessness)
13. Often has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly
14. Is often "on the go" or often acts as if "driven by a motor"
15. Often talks excessively
The DSM-IV TR specifies three major subtypes of AD/HD: (I'm in blue)
Just a couple of things.
Miranda,
If you wouldn't mind, can we talk "offline" about this? I'm curious about how it has affected you as an adult, and see how it relates to myself. Because I'm borderline, I can control it better and work with it easier, but it's still there. I'm curious as to how it affects your life.
