andywg replied to your post: Now that I successfully destroyed myself at the high school practice
I know you are obviously in a different class, but your times, given you are coming back from surgery, never cease to amaze me! Have you had any thoughts about a time for the marathon yet?
Well thank you!! I haven’t really thought of a time yet but hopefully under 3:30 - I think that would...

Now that I successfully destroyed myself at the...
I am just sooo excited to get ready and drive for 4 hours to maryland with stiff legs. My friend Allison and I (she’s also graduated my year) decided to slam out some cruise miles and they definitely went a lot faster than I thought they would. We took 2 min rest between each one. It didn’t help that it was freezing out this morning.
Mile 1: 7:19
Mile 2: 6:48
Mile 3: 6:28
Mile 4:...

Probably won't be hearing from me much for a few...
I am going to maryland tomorrow for a long weekend and new years. Probably won’t head home until the 3rd or even the 4th. Unfortunately with how I’ve been feeling I’m not even excited though and would rather just stay at home curled up in bed reading all day instead.
ugh I really hate myself sometimes.
andywg asked: Hey, don't sweat the funk. Life is a real pain when you aren't sure what you want to do or how to do what you do want to do and everyone else seems to just get along fine. You still have plenty of time to figure it all out, and it will work itself out. Next time, run slower and longer and hope you get in after the fight finishes ;) A

Hello wind?
So I’ve been having a rough time lately. Not sure why - just unexplainably anxious and sad. Perhaps it’s the stress of having a lack of computer…and not being able to do everything I had planned to this break. I wanted to start writing again, I wanted to be applying to jobs already and be deep within my search - yet I have nothing. Nothing at all. And I think it’s all...
Sometimes I just wish I could disappear off the...

Just sad today.
Frustrated and sad. and so tired from it…good thing I took off today. A bad run would have just made me even more miserable.

So yesterday was funnnnn
I went for a 5 mile run in the park and it was SO WINDY. I was honestly more afraid that a branch was going to fall and take me out than anything else. I felt pretty good and wasn’t wearing my garmin so I’m pretty sure I went over 5 miles in 40 mins but oh well :). I was quite relieved when the run was over…but only because of the wind.
Then I drove home and picked erin up and...

Party today :)
My mom and dad decided that they wanted to have a party with all the XC girls that went to NTN…a reunion of sorts. I am super excited because we haven’t all been together in forever and my old high school coach should be coming as well!
So I definitely have some shit to do before 3:30 PM today. I need to run 5 miles (IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF MARATHON TRAINING WOOTTTTT) and I need...

oh man...
I don’t even know what to say about last night. My sisters and I played an EXTREME drinking game to The Nightmare Before Christmas and we all got pretty drunk haha. After that was done we even decided to keep it up and watch Elf although we were all falling apart by then.
This morning when I woke up…wasn’t feeling so wonderful haha. I had a headache but I got up around 9:15 AM...

Had a nice 5 mile run
It was slow so that was probably a good rest for my legs. I plan on running tomorrow morning so hopefully I’ll be able to get a good run then. But it was nice to run in the neighborhood that I used to all throughout high school and look at the lights.
As for it being christmas…it doesn’t feel like it and I’m pretty much over it. Nothing ever goes as planned - but I guess...

Excited for tonight :)
Every christmas eve for as along as I can remember my dad has taken erin and I out for a run at night so we can look at all the lights. It has become quite the tradition and no matter where we are we always manage to squeeze a run in because christmas eve feels incomplete without it. We always pick our favorite house, rate the lights in different categories, and by the end of the run we always...

So my run :)
Not going to lie…within the first mile I knew that I was tired today. Even with the music blasting I wasn’t feeling it as much as I usually do. Maybe it’s because I never run as late as 5 PM anymore or I’m just tired from my quick runs this week but I wasn’t exactly sure how long I was going to last. But still I decided to kick the pace up a notch and I started...
