day 68

epic fail...

being the crazy person that i am i spent this past weekend on a high school youth retreat. which was great, however, yes you guessed - no running. boo. i could try and defend myself by saying something like "keeping up with high school boys during team challenges can be just as difficult as running" or "my arms hurt like heck from everything we did when i got home," but don't you worry - i won't ;)

i thought later, that i should have taken my running gear and just gone before they all got up, but seeing as how i only got seven hours of sleep the entire weekend it would have probably have been bad news bears.

it was an interesting weekend all in all and looking back i would do almost all of it again! i am, however, just waiting for the weekend to come where i only have to run and chillax for the entire thing!!!! when will that be...?

in other news, i'm going to las vegas this weekend! with the best sisters in the entire world! and we plan on having way too much fun! now doesn't that sound good!?! and in preparation of said trip - i'm going shopping!! how sweet it is :)

gonna refocus this week after the time off and get back on track!

we're gonna have so much fun! (minus andrew, he's having his own fun)

day 75

hello all!

sunday was the first day of daylight savings, so i hope you all have reset your clocks by now! what this means to me in my little world is not necessarily the one hour gain on sunday, but rather the hour at which it now becomes dark in the evenings. that's right, you guessed it - i must run in the mornings now. as i have previously stated, i won't run without the sun, it's just no fun. so this morning, being a tuesday, and being a day that i'm supposed to run, i woke up at 6am and hit the trail shortly thereafter - yes, i did do what i meant to have done! so before work today i ran 4.5 miles! i will have to figure out what to eat before these morning runs though, because you can't get far on an empty tank, as i now know. and that, my friends, is what's been going on.

oh, and a bonus - i wore my mary queen church t-shirt and a lady (as she was passing me) said she liked my shirt! very cool that, even while running, you can be a witness :)
