Alana's Journey

[Alana Ashleigh]

I've been through a whirlwind of emotions the past few days. I felt dysphoric, and then left work last night in the silliest, goofiest mood I've ever experienced. I took a personal day today. I went for a nice walk out in the woods... I'm running a 5k tomorrow, too. It's nice to feel good after feeling down for a few days. 🤩✨

I ran my 5k this morning. I ran it just a few ticks over 37 minutes. It definitely was one of my slower runs, my pace and cadence was perfect. It's ironic that I ran my fastest 5k's when I vaped.

I think that is to be expected from HRT starting nine months ago.

I swing a golf club like a woman.  I use my lower body and take advantage of my flexibility to take long backswings!  Senior guys who golf often have to deal with a limited range of motion and surgeries to correct worn out joints and back issues.

Marion, that's something I find myself thinking about now. The average 5k time for a woman my age is 37 minutes, 21 seconds. So that tracks with my running time. I'm going to checkout the differences in golf swings between men and women. The biomechanics seem very interesting.

It is nice to go out for a run.

Honestly run times can vary hugely depending on many things. Last monday i was literally behind everyone as was hit with major depression that day. Probably 38-40 min 5k at best. On a good day i can now hit 30 min. But so many variables come into it. You're doing great for sure!
