Well I did it! Fought through a painful eye (more on that later), nausea, and slightly swore legs. The run started out well but I just couldn't stop focusing on the pain after 15 minutes! I was planning on doing 30 minutes but I felt like I was going to throw up for half of the run so at the 28 minute mark I was finished! But I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't get any shin splints and the muscle pain was minimum. Which is great but I'm still looking forward to trying out my new PINK Zensah calf sleeves which will hopefully get rid of my shin splints forever! They arrive tommorow and I'm hoping to have them before my run on Tuesday, it all depends on how quick my dorm sorts the mail.
Now on to the eye! I wanted to re-oxidize my seashell Pandora charm so I got a hard boiled egg at the dining hall on Thursday but forgot to bring it home with me on Friday. So I decided to reheat the egg today in the microwave to start the process. As it turns out you cant heat an egg for 45 seconds when the shell isn't peeled off. I learned this the hard way when I opened the microwave, stared putting my head close to the opening, and the egg exploded. Egg went EVERYWHERE, and the microwave was splattered with egg. Unfortunately, hot pieces of egg or shell (who knows) flew up and hit me in my eye. So my eye has been burning and red all day. I had thought that the eye lid was all that got hit by the egg but after my run, about 3 hours later, my eye became very painful and I started rubbing it. When I pulled my hand away I found a big piece of egg had been in my eye! Twice more I found egg, thankfully smaller pieces, in my eye. I'm scared they'll get trapped in the back part of my head or something and rot...On the bright side, because I'm trying to be a more optimistic person, I learned a lesson today: I hate eggs.
