hmmm...so ran in the 5k...my time was better than the last 5k i ran this summer, so w/e running confuses the hell outta me, but i was happy i guess. it is gonna be so hard to get up for class this winter...i wake up & look out our window & see how cold & gloomy it looks & im like uhhh my nice warm bed feels so good...yea thats what it was like the morning of the marathon...38 degrees. so that was on a sat morning & then it was homecomin so we went to the game & then me & dre made a late night walmart & taco bell run til 2am...got some roadtrip food...came back & had to get to work, we made shirts & signs for coach harmon, because she was runnin in the chicago marathon on sunday morning...at 8am which ment we had to laeve at 4:40-5ish so we could get a parkin garage before they closed off the streets. so our shirts were the shit ill hafta say...they had We <3 & then a pic of ch from the last time i was in chitown w/ her & she has some gay paper hat on....then the back says coach hdubbs fan club & the pic of her being a complete math nerd, its great. & our signs were the shit too. so we pulled an all nighter, left as soon as we got it all finished. the marathon was AMAZING, it gave me chills, idk made me wanna run one...it seriosuly was crazy....40,000 runners & 1.4 million spectators....like the street was completly smashed packed w/ runners...forever. like for at least 30 mins after coach ran by the 3 mile mark....30 mor mins of packed streets. idk it was just amazing. it was coach, mrs kearns & dave all runnin. & they all did awesome. we saw um at the 3 mile, 12, 17, & the finish. the finish was cool, it gave me chills, like ppl would fall & other ppl would be all like u kno come on u cna do it lets go were almost there. makes me miss xc! b/c thats what i love about distance running, everybody supposrts everybody & its more like everybody is goin against themsleves, so its not like o i cant try & incourage u b/c ur my competition. idk i just like the whole atmosphere...i miss xc lol. but anyways...so we walked an ass ton that day. i hate big cities. coach did it in about 4:25ish...whic she said was the worst shes ever flet in a marathon. 26.2 miles = amazing! & then we went & ate w/ um at that good pizza place in chitown....& theyre all normal im like i would be on my death bed rite now. but it was fun. got to see joc & jordan...they crack me up & i miss bein around um all the time! i love talkin to them on the phone, they seriosuly crack me up the way they talk. anyways...so then we left around 5:30ish i think...i was slappin myself on the way home to try & keep myself awake. my bed never looked so good. but now i think i wanna run it next year. scary! the next weekend i went to see Gi run on friday at milikin, she did awesome. she looked really good. made me miss xc! towner was there too & did really good. then went & hung out at my house, stayed up w/ my bro til like 4am....went to eat at this breakfast thing at my church to see ppl....then left to peoria...so schaef is runnin...& LAUGHS the 1st time i see her!!! im like schaef wtf arre u doing never laugh in ur race again lol. but she did good & so did everybody else...didnt really watch the guys, talked to schaef forever...so the night before coach calls me & is all like i really think u should tell marla to come a different weekend & be a shaperone & blah blah & im like no i cant shell kill me. even tho i really wanted to...i miss xc so much & peoria is like the best meet/weekend ever, but im like no coach i dont want to be a loser & yea & then schaef texts me & is like u kno ur stayin the nite. & yea so i text marla on the way over & she was really pissed so it was back & forth the whole meet if i was stayin the night or not...i felt bad b/c i wanted to hang out w/ marla b/c i havent seen her in forever, but this is like a one time meet thing. so eventually after like 30 phone calls & texts & coach callin marla, got it figured out. so we went to avantis....me & schaef stole another cup...add to the collection...then we went to the hotel...in r room it was me, schaef, mandi, coach hdubb & mrs kearns, it was great fun. then we went to the mall...i rode w/ mrs kearns...i didnt think i was gonna like her...just b/c of the whole her replacing coach blank thing...but she is cool as hell & i really liked her. so after the mall we went & got ice cream...then it was like 11pm & we went to a haunted house...which was the funniest thing ive seen in a while. so im 1st & then mrs kearns & schaef & coach & chantel...coach was so scared it was hilarious...everytime i turned around she had her eyes shut. & i would crack up. & me & mrs kearns would add to it & be like omg! & yea my cheeks hurt from laughin so much. it was the best haunted house experience yet....even better than last yrs...when some lady paid schaef 6 bucks b/c of how much she pulled on her shirt. anyways....so it was great. then we went back to the hotel & played the 2nd annual game of o shit. once again it was great, mrs kearns is my new favorite person. shes hilarious. altho shes got nothin on cb or ch. but of course there were some ppl who didnt wanna play. but it was fun. we always wind up playin to like 30. so mandi slept ontop of the closet, like 7 ft above the ground. it was great. me & scahef talked to cb for like 45 mins at 2:30 am....we had to, there has never been a peoria trip w/ out cb! it was so weird...ive never been at an xc meet w/ no cb. its just not right. even tho shes not a xc runner, shes always been my xc coach, like if ch moved, itd be weird & suck, but not as weird b/c i had only had her 1 yr. this was just weird, i didnt like it. but then me & schaef went & continued the tradition of stealin signs....year #3, that place is about of signs. went to bed around 5:30, coach woke us up at 9, ate breakfast & then they all went & shopped more but i just came back here. it was good weekend. i miss it. i dont miss the gay hs drama shit, but i miss the sports. even tho i liked playin bball the most, i miss the xc season the most. anyways...moving on from my gayness.....i have been in a really good mood for the last week. just b/c im like hey i have no reason to be in a bad mood...i think not playin bball in college was the best decision ive ever made...as much as it makes my stomache hurt seein the bball girls...the only time i was really in a bad mood in hs was b/c i eaither played like shit or ran like shit...& now i dont hafta worry bout that so im never mad. like i havent been mad or sad or w.e the whole time ive been at ISU. anyways....so theres this girl missing from r campus....its so weird/scary. like tonite we went to a candle light thing, this whole thing gives me chills. like theres an ass ton of flyers & stuff all over, & its just creepy how they think she got taken, like idk its weird ot think somebody could be following u & watchin u& u dont even kno it. idk, but its really sad & i really hope they find her. ok this is really long, so im gonna stop. oh yea, i didnt go to sleep last nite b/c i was scared outta my mind from this murder shit. anyways goodnight.
