Hurricane Break!

what a first week at school!!  Earthquake on tuesday, then evacuated for a hurricane friday!  It was nuts!!  quite an eventful first day at school!!  I did a few haphazard workouts, but I am still working to get back into routine!  Thursday afternoon I headed over to the track and ran a mile of stride the straights jog the curves.  I did some push ups, one set of 25, one set of 15 and a set of 10 claps  :)    in between sets I did two sets of 2 min abs.  It was really hard!  Been a long time since I have used those muscles! Guess ive got some work to do before the season starts!

Friday Kelsey and I headed out of the area and back to Pittsburgh/Ohio for Kole's first birthday party!  I cannot believe he is one already!!!  He is so incredibly cute!! It was so much fun playing with him all day saturday!!!  Sunday morning, Kelsey Meghan and I got up and headed to a park near them.  The loop they wanted to run was 5 miles.  I hung with Meghan for the first half.  Then went into a bit of a psycho mode and went crazy for the last half and pulled away from her.  Had to slow down every once in a while to get directions :)  It felt really good to push that hard on a run!  But I still have lots to do if Kels and I are going to run a 10 k in october!  It took me just under 45 mins to run the loop!  Not bad, since that is the farthest I have ever run!!!  After a great breakfast and some cards, Kels and I got back on the road.  We are now in a hotel in Williamsburg and hoping to be back to normal by tomorrow night!  Been quite a week, but I can honestly say that I am really excited for this semester.  I think it is going to go better than I originally intended!

Back to School

It is very different being back at school.  To those of you who actually enjoy reading this, I am sorry I have been slacking lately.  It has been a crazy few weeks.  Last week at the beach I did get back to working out.  Meghan pretty much ran vacation boot camp!!  She had Kels and I up every morning to run.  Then we went on Bike rides with Auntie Pat, and in the evening we would attempt to swim.  I was proud of myself for being able to run with her for the most part, especially towards the end of the week.  It has been a while since I really worked out.  Having someone else to motivate me was awesome.

Now I am back at CNU.  I have been to nearly all of my classes.  Some stuff with profs has changed and been a pain, but I really think it will work out, and I am looking forward to seeing what happens.  It has been great to be back with my sisters, roommates, teammates and friends again.  I missed everyone a lot.  Happy for new friends and glad to still be close to the older ones.

Yesterday morning I got up and headed to the track to run 30 m cut backs.  It was the first time I had sprinted in like 5 weeks!!  I did 2 sets of 10 with an extra at the end of the second.  They felt pretty good, but today my legs are sore.  Yesterday was a tough day overall, and I was super tired last night. Rather than get up this morning and run I waited until after my class.  I am so excited for Inorganic!!  And Dr. Fattah is going to help me get research!!!!!!  I ran a 2 mile loop around campus, my body wasnt super into it after what I put it through all day yesterday, but I need to get to work if I am going to survive a thanksgiving 10k!!!  Now to spend the rest of my day with errands and homework! Fun stuff!!
