Hello World

Hellooo. Long time no see. For some strange reason I had the itch to start this thing back today. Feel like I should make some long list of excuses as to why I haven't blogged in a while...like I've been cheating or something haha. Not exactly sure what I'm going to say. Maybe just a lot of ramblings. It's therapeutic for me though. And a lot neater than my handwriting, ha. I blame it on the lefthandedness...yup.


Started marathon training two weeks ago (eeeee!!!!!) 10 miles two weeks ago, 10 again last weekend, and 12 this weekend. I've found some awesome people to go do long runs with, which rocks because there is hardly anywhere in Birmingham to run more than 5 miles by yourself without having a minor/major panic attack about someone kidnapping you. So. New running friends = awesomesauce. The only challenge is that I have finals the Monday and Tuesday after the Rocket City Marathon...hmmm. I'm going to train for it and hopefully do super well in my classes this year (fingers double crossed) so that I can do it! I'm excited already. Esp the running with people thing. So much more fun. Words cannot describe. My feet just kind of fall into harmony with everyone else's, kind of like a herd mentality haha, and gives me way more motivation. I like knowing there are people as crazy as I am. I woke up at 4 this past weekend to meet them for the first time...I was so anxious/excited that I didn't sleep hardly at all...seriously...the last time I looked at my clock was midnight, so I got 4 hours sleep max. Like a kid on Christmas morning! Well....okay okay plus I had a late snack around 9:30 of Cheetos and chocolate milk --was starving after work. I guess the sugar from choc. milk gave me a 3 hour sugar high, I haven't had that happen in years -- but of course it happens when I need to wake up at 4 a.m. the next morning. But guess what, I finished my 12 anyways! HA! I was worried the group of runners were going to be so much faster than me and leave me in the dark (literally...we watched the sun come up as we ran; glorious) but we were all about the same. Annnnd to top it off, some of them go out on the course beforehand and set out water and gatorade in coolers along the way, um new bff's? I think so. 


Okay that's all. More later. Peace out.
