Exactly 33.83 seconds faster than my last race. I would have liked to improve more, but I'll take what I can get. I have another 5k in March, and hopefully I can do even better. 

Daily I find myself thinking about posting something here. I always think my ideas are ridiculous so the end result is nothing ( Read more... )

I hate when I don't drink my coffee fast enough and the bottom is cold. The last three nights, I have been sleeping in Alyssa's bed. Saturday night I gave her a hug and kiss goodnight like I always do, and when I walked into my room I received a text from her. The text said "No! Sleep in my bed!" Like an obedient little housewife, I packed up my ( Read more... )

Last night was too familiar. I talked too much about how men in horrible relationships are always attracted to me. I talked about how I must offer some sort of comfort. He talked about her while holding me. I'm being very vague here, but names are not relevant. It's not fun always being the girl who made him remember how well he has it at home.  ( Read more... )

So, since I didn't cross the start line when the clock started, it only took me 32 minutes and 33 seconds to run 3.1 miles. :) Can I tell you that I'm jazzed? I was putting myself around 40 minutes. I signed up for a running group ( Read more... )

Today. Today should be a great day if everything goes according to planned. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that this is the final step to getting my shit together. I have my race on Saturday and I'm only a tiny bit nervous right now. I'm excited that I'm going to have someone that loves me at the finish line waiting for me to stumble across ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning thinking it was Sunday. It obviously wasn't, which meant I had to leave the warmth of my bed to get into a cold, empty car. My drive to the gym is so short that my car doesn't have the time to heat up. So for about 4 minutes I chatter at red lights before I go force my body to do something it doesn't want to do. Today I  ( Read more... )

I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real.

Every girl loves The Notebook. I watched it for the first time on Thanksgiving. I was full of Turkey, and cuddled up on the couch. Yes, I did sob like a baby, and yes it did make me want a man like Noah.

Tonight I  ( Read more... )

My legs ache from the morning run I just partook in, and it feels amazing. I'm about to start in on my second cup coffee, and my mind is relatively clear. After work yesterday, I pushed all thoughts of my situation out of my head and enjoyed the company of my roommate. I picked up a pizza [hence, the morning run] and we sat at our Ikea kitchen ( Read more... )

Waking up and have your mind start running instantly isn't a great feeling. Since the Thanksgiving Holiday is tomorrow, I thought I'd join in on the "I'm Thankful" for's:

• My Job. The kids in my class amaze me every day, and I love watching them grow. Their parents are also very nice and welcoming. [Most of them.]
• My family. They're the people that ( Read more... )
