Seriously this month has almost made me go crazy!!!! School was intense, plus work and a few side things that needed done. My last class for this first summer session is done tomorrow so that is fabulous! Then I get the whole month of June off.
So I actually miss running. And since it has been crazy busy around here I haven't had the time. I know I needed a break but it has been like 3 weeks and I am nervous I will have lost it all. So hopefully after this class is done I will have some extra time to get back into it :)
I had a bad week last week...most of it had to do with school and stress but I hate weeks like that. On Friday after work I wanted to do nothing and just go home and watch TV and sleep. I haven't felt like that in a while. I wish I had something interesting to talke about, but school, work, they just aren't hot topics :)
Whoever reads and comments you can list something you want me to talk about or ask me a question :) I'll post about it!

The Crazy Weekend
Well ladies and gents I did it!!!!! I finished the MINI....a 13.1 mile race that I had been training for for a few months.
Now that it is done, it has been a couple days, I'm not sick anymore, and just a little sore I can say I am so glad I did it!
Do I want to do it again?? Not right niw :)
It was long and I was lucky to have such a reat God and running partner with me the whole time. We went to eat at one of my favorite restraunts, because it was my idea. I was starving and I ordered food...it came out...I quickly changed my mind. I guess I was pretty pale at this moment. So they ate and I oredered a to go box :) (I ate cookies and a chewy bar and a few bites of banana (yuck) right after the race) Then we went home and I showered and started feeling much better. So I run 13.1 miles and then I decided to go to The Amazing Race ( for a relay for life team) and really it wasn't bad. I did not push myself...probably didn't take it easy either. And then we ate dinner and I ate it all :) I knew that appetite would be right back. Came home we all three sat down in the living room...no tv....and passed out at 7:30 pm. I think they went up to their room about 9:30 but thankfully left me alone and slept until 7:30 am. It was a great sleep. However my poor mom did have to lift me up off the couch that next morning :) I was very very sore. from my head to my toe nails :). We had a good Mother's Day ...I had to work in the afternoon and that was rough because I did not want to be on my feet the whole day but my boss was very considerate. I am feeling even better this morning. I got out of bed all by myself and don't get me wrong I am still sore but I can move!!!
I now have 3 days of summer vacay left (with work) but no school so thats a plus. In 4 days I start a summer class that I think may make me cry. And in 5 days I will be in Tennessee celebrating the wedding of one of my bests :) It is going to be a good week and weekend!!!!

Emotions
This morning I am feeling so many emotions! I am overly anxious, excited, stressed and I don't even know what else.
I woke up knowing that tomorrow at this time I will be starting my first mini. Yes I have trained and yes I have had many many people tell me I will be fine and do great. It is overwhelming. I am so nervous for it and in all the nerves I have lost the exctiement. I have the best running partner and I know God has put her in my life not just for running but for much much more. I am thankful for all the running and supportive people He has put in my life. All this race stuff is on my mind when I should be focusing on other stuff...
other stuff.... I still have a big project to get done today. I am not scared I cannot get it done but I cannot focus on it. That is why I decided to pause and write about everything and hopefully this helps me clear my head, get my project done, and then go on with my day. I am glad that my day is full of stuff to do so maybe I won't worry over the race and just calm down. I cannot imagine how I will feel tomorrow morning :/
Also today is JBC's graduations....where friends I went to school with for 3 years are graduating. I am so happy for them and proud to call them my friends....I am also so sad I am not there to watch or participate. I love that God has brought me back home to go to school and I really love where I go and how it is going but I am still a little sad to be missing this very important day in their lives.
I am sure if I could just cry it out that would also make me feel better....but no time!!!!
Got to get started!

Just wanting an update?? OK good!
So my life is pretty crazy right now...I hate not updating the people who care whats going on in my life and my life of running and weight loss :)
School is crazy. I think only like 4 weeks left or something like that....it would be more promising if I didn't have to go into another class for summer! In June I will get a break...at least from school :)
Started my new job yesterday and left a job that I had been with (the company) for 5 years. It was sad in the sense that I will miss the people but I am happy to keep moving on :) Now I just need to get the footing in this new job. I'll get it...I really like the people and the clothes :)
I ran 7 miles on Friday....thats half the race (one good friend reminded me ) I can't believe how far I have come. I feel God's strength inside me and I am thankful for the people HE has placed in my life as encouragers. He knows my heart and that it is a heart that feeds off of encouragment and I know He placed me with these people for a reason :) I also weighted in this morning and my total weight loss so far is...... 15.4 POUNDS!!!!!!! I am TWO pounds away from my FIRST goal weight. A weight that I never thought was possible....and it wasn't with the way I was doing things....and trying to do them alone. Thanks for all your support!!! Praying for all of you.

Slumpty Dumpty
This week I have felt a sense of being burnt out on working out. I don't know if it was getting back into the swing of things after spring break or if I am just over it for now. I am trying to stick with it no worries there. Running was good this week...except yesterday. Tuesday we did 4.3 miles and YES those ,3 do make a difference :). Today we did 4 but yesterday I only ran 2.1 (which was the scheduled amount but I needed to do more) Then I walked another mile. Today's run felt so good! I wasn't feeling it at first....my body ached, I was tired, I feel sinus stuff going on and we were going to be back inside looking at the same four hallways for 48 laps. Rough. We had been so blessed with such amazing weather this week and spoiled to get to run outside and so to come back inside was hard but it went well. I love the feeling after a run....I hurt during the run, I can't breathe...all those negative thoughts go away and you feel so good. Its the best feeling for me :) I have also discovered I cannot motivate myself very much. It takes special people. So that's my update today! I am in a slump with working out and hoping to get out of it!!!
