Let's go...

I went to the gym on Tuesday and worked out on the elliptical and lifted some free weights. Today I would like to put in some road work and lift but don't really see that happening. I may just have to head to the gym. This weekend I plan on hitting the pavement again. I'm starting to feel "addicted" to these 1/2 marathons. I sooo want to break two hrs!

Well I hope everyone is having a great week. Did y'all get to drink some green beers last night? I drank a few ;).

We need to start planning our next adventure together, London is sounding pretty sweet! I think it might be worth taking out $2K in extra student loans (just a thought Cam)...

As always, much love from Lufkin "stinkin" TX.

back to the real world?

I prefer my personal fantasy land anyways...but seriously, one week was not even almost enough. It was like a vacation tease. Real life so far (yes, two days later) already contains books, sore muscles, counting calories, and the struggle of self-motivation. The plan is to just keep going one day at a time. Wish me luck!

Love you both and I had a blast! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm excited about October!

One and Counting

Woohoo! As the sore muscles are becoming more sore, I feel the satisfaction sink in. We really ran the 13.1 miles... amazing!

Congratulations ladies and lets get moving for the upcoming one! :)

(well... after the muscles become more useful!)

Life is finally slowing down

Just to speed up on sunday! Let see- I'm in bball/lacrosse shape, I haven't ran in a good week, I tweaked my ankle in bball and it still is somewhat stiff... sounds like I'm ready for this half! :)

Okay, so maybe not as ready as I wanted to be, but hey, this is just to get my feet wet... Maybe we can make this a yearly thing! (okay, I really am being serious) I just got done taking my last test, finishing my last homework, I am going home at 2 to pack and then I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't think i'll ever come back here... (I wish I was serious)... I'm so ready to get home and see everyone. This whole being away from home just seems like it gets harder and harder the longer I'm away.

So funny story of the day (and then I have to get back to homework): Last night Matt and I went to get pei wei since he wanted to take me out but we didn't really have time to sit down and eat... anyway, we decided we could split one fortune cookie because 1) they aren't THAT sweet (they shouldn't be called a cookie) and 2) its a special occasion... So the fortune says: "A new and exciting adventure is bound to happen within the next year" (or something like that) And I say "hmm sweetie... that's odd... I'll be getting ready to go to Australia, You'll be finishing undergrad and moving into grad studies, We'll be thinking more about the future... seems fitting" (totally said it in a joking tone) And then he says.... nothing.
So I'm like: No comment? Didn't get the hint?
Matt: I get your hints, I just choose to ignore them...
Me: Oh really, you are always way off on my hints, I have to outright tell you everything I'm thinking
Matt: No, not at all, I hear you, and I know what you're hinting at, but its so much better when I ignore them...
Me: So what was I hinting at, if you get my hints?
Matt: You want me to go to Australia with you, duh...
Me: *Laughs*... nope, I was thinking more of a ring...
Matt: I knew that, I just want you to keep guessing about when I'm going to ask you...

Oh dear... I think I found a keeper, who else can be as goofy and retarded as me?

And by the way, the funniest phrase I have come across is "Level Eleven" (say it fast and slightly mumble) It sounds weird...

I LOVE YALL!!!!!

I am a pansy...and it has nothing to do with TriDelta

So I was so proud of myself today at 7 o'clock this morning. I was up and ready to go, ready to run 6 miles just like the running plan said. I get my ipod and I am out the door. And it is FREEZING. "Okay," I thought, "After I run a while I'll be warmed up, no biggie."

Well...after mile 2 my face hurt and I'm pretty sure I could no longer feel the snot running out of my nose and down my face. I don't know, maybe because it was frozen or something. Needless to say, I will try again this afternoon!

Love from the Big D

Sorry I've been MIA. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed and this just became last priority really fast. Just an update: I've been running pretty regularly (4 days a week), but not far. Because it's either been ridiculously cold outside or raining, I've been on the treadmill, which doesn't even compare. I find it increasingly difficult to stay on when the big fat red "STOP" button is staring at me. I try covering it up but then it starts yelling at me, tempting me to push it. Anyways, I'm planning on hitting 10 miles this Sunday and I'm scared. I think I might go up to White Rock Lake because I don't think I can stand running a 1/2 mile circle 20 times (nor do I think I can keep count after the first 6!). Anyway, I love you both and can't wait to see you...just 2 1/2 weeks left!!

"Snow" more wine for Cam

(get it- i'm coming skiing and you got drunk and dropped the bottle on your toe...I laughed) I'm so ready to be in CO. The see Cam and ski!! Cameron, your posts have been pretty dang funny and your apt is looking pretty cute. I lol-ed at work when I saw your big toe... whoops. I'm about to pump out another hour and then I'm outta here! Bye-bye Z-team and Lufkin "stinkin" Texas...until Monday.

Today I looked at another house, but I think its a no-go. I just don't LOVE IT. And I want to LOVE IT.

That's all I got. Except for the fact that neither of you have responded to the fact that I signed up for the 1/2...so what's the status on that. Are you gonna make me run it with Keith?
