You are definitely not a liar! You have kept up with this more than I have! I am drowning in a sea of homework, senior exams, translations, and papers...trying to keep afloat, but not become too buoyant (i.e. FAT! haha). Don't you just love my corny jokes?
Anyway, as of right now, I have no idea where I am in the 200 mile challenge. I'm sure if I sat down I could figure it out. I'm still probably going to have to do most of it in between graduation and your wedding, though. It is difficult to find time to exercise right now just because I have my senior oral exam in TWO WEEKS!! My profs set the day--April 5! I am terrified! I have exactly two weeks to buckle down and pretty much ignore everything else in life.
During finals weeks or other stressful times like this in the past, I would stop exercising...partly because I felt like I didn't have the time, and partly because I was so sleep-deprived I could hardly move my body anyway. BUT this time, I am determined to keep exercising. It seriously affects how productive I am, and just my mood in general (You are right, Elle Woods!). I have resolved to run at least 2 or 3 miles a day. It's so frustrating because my legs always want MORE but I just don't have the time to run much farther.
There is a 5K this weekend that I was planning on doing, but I'm still debating whether or not I should. It is at 7:30am which means I have to be up at 5am on a Saturday. Usually, I just do it, but this weekend I need to study all day and on weekends when I do 5Ks I'm usually exhausted from getting up early and exerting a lot of energy for the race! I might just do it and take it as a leisurely run so that I am not too tired later in the day.
It is called the "Beach Bum 5K" and we run on the beach...in sand...not so fun! Last time I did it though, we ran right up by the water and there were dolphin swimming and jumping out in the water really close to the shore. It was so much fun! Some of the people run barefoot or in their swimsuits...I'm not sure I'm comfortable enough for that! haha:)
On a totally unrelated note, I am currently searching for the perfect dress for graduation!! If you see anything that catches your eye, let me know or send me a link to it or something!
Since I hear it's been raining a lot over there, here is a little something to brighten up your day!
A Little Monday Happiness for You
This music video makes me so sad that I forgot my jean jacket at home! haha
Your joke was hilarious lol. I almost laughed out loud but kept it to myself since I am at work! What style of dress are you looking for?? I just had an ephiphany about running last night! I was thinking...I'm so glad that I got into this so that I'm at this point during wedding planning. My running time is my time to not think about any of the stressful stuff, to just have that time to myself and clear my head! It sounds like it's the same for you!!
ReplyDeleteOMG you're graduating so soon!!!! I'm so excited for you!
Yes, that's exactly what running has been for me! It's my time to get away from things!
