and I love him. But ( Read more... )

The third race of the year and fourth race in two weeks(the back-to-back 5ks last Mon/Tues and the 20k last Sat). Between this and two rough PT days(Thursdays) and my normal runs and training, I felt beat. So, I didn't PR like I'd wanted. But, I did win and ran it around 4 minutes and 20 seconds faster than last year, so... yay ( Read more... )

Last year finished out at 40 books(recorded, totally forgot a few...). Would have been more, but got taken over by a couple novel-like fanfics(ex. one is longer than the first three Harry Potter books combined, I've read it twice, lol).

But still, different year, same drill...
( Books read in 2013 )

Last night, NYE, I ran the Beat the Ball 5k. Starting at 11:35PM, the idea of it being to "beat the ball" drop in New York, finishing the 3.1mi in 25 minutes or less. Then, I went home, got a little sleep, and ran the Hair of the Dog 5k this morning(New Year's Day). So, basically, I ran two 5ks in less than 12 hours of one another. Fun times ( Read more... )

Running at least a mile every day from Thanksgiving Day to New Year's Day. Mostly posting this for my own reference, to keep myself accountable and keeping track of my mileage.

* Currently my hair is black through most of it, black at the roots, and then there's this light brown/red color mostly around the top/front. I didn't dye it, so I apparently ran/biked/whatever'd around enough this past summer for the sun to bleach it, weird.(that or I'm one of those animals who changes colors with the season, as this has happened ( Read more... )

Life stuff* I have no clue how my coworkers manage sometimes. My one coworker makes as much as me, sometimes even fewer hours, is a single mom w/ two kids, and is about to get kicked out of her apartment. Gods, I wish I could help her(think I'm going to talk hours with her and see if she wants some of mine, I've got money saved. Either way, I've ( Read more... )

Was surprised by how easy it actually was, despite all my last minute panicking. No clue on my exact time yet as there was apparently some glitch with the timing, FMI says results should be posted on Thursday, but was definitely under four hours(stopped my timer after walking past the medal handouts at the finish and it was around 3:54) so I can ( Read more... )

* I'm still kinda reeling from the election results. Was so stressed and then... bam! So many good things and Romney lost! and yay ( Read more... )
