Christmas was much fun, but made me want to run more, considering that a good portion of my presents were ( Read more... )

So this is like the first update in forever. I've gotten so bad at updating, and it's probably because I've gotten even worse at running ( Read more... )

I'm think I'm starting to feel better. I'm certainly not anywhere near totally better, but today was a really good day. I got paid today (FINALLY!) and promptly spent $100 on gas and groceries....that I desperatly needed. I have to preface this with the fact that lately, the only energy I've had to fix food goes as far as a can of soup or a Lean ( Read more... )

Well, I did it. I signed up for a running class that meets on Thursday nights here in Ann Arbor. I talked to the guy at Running Fit, and he says the first day the class runs one block, then walks a block, then runs a block, etc. As I can already run a 5K (which is what the class is geared towards....and heck, I can run 13 miles...), this bit of ( Read more... )

I was fully intending on going running this morning. But I have a cold. And I know that shouldn't be an excuse, but I really feel miserable. I think instead, I'll go this afternoon ( Read more... )

I'm procrastinating. I've become remarkably good at it. =) I do have 4 essays to write for class tomorrow, but thus far, I've only organized the information I will need. Which I suppose will make it easier when I write them, but for now, I'd rather write about running ( Read more... )

AHhhhhhh the soreness is attacking! But, I still wouldn't trade my run today for anything. Although, I did learn that it's a bad idea to drink two glasses of water right after getting back to your house. I almost threw up. But the sensation only lasted about 15 seconds and I didn't throw up, so I just figured it was too much too fast. Still not fun ( Read more... )

List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.1. Ok, this one is for those of you who know absolutely NOTHING about me. If there is any one piece of information that it is vital for you to know, it is that I love penguins. Yes. I. Love. Penguins. There could not be another animal on the face of the earth that I could possibly love more than ( Read more... )

One of the things we talked about in tutor training last night was to be careful not to go into tutoring with the mindset of "I'm going to fix this kid." It is a bad idea to expect that you will be so awesome at tutoring that you'll teach the kid everything he needs to know in the first month. It would never work. Learning something like reading is ( Read more... )
