Rain and Mud..a few of my favorite things

I've ran 22 miles since Monday.

I think that might be the reason, I'm tired today. Today's run was really only suppose to be about 5 miles but the soft sprinkling rainshowers made Nicky and I extend it to about 7.5. As much as I hate rain in the winter, I do enjoy its cooling effects in the summer. I know I sound fickle.

I was in Memphis this weekend for a wedding. The wedding itself was just perfect, the bride was perfect as if she walked out of a wedding magazine, it was not too long and the kids behaved. It did seem a bit surreal that my cousin (the groom) was getting married, it seemed like yesterday that I was going to watch his basketball. The receptation was amazing too. A live band, a smore station, mash potato bar and plenty of family and friend. Everything was perfect, and I am glad it was for the bride and groom deserved it.

What seemed weird to me is that my cousin is 26, he is only six year older then I am. I can not imagine getting married in six years. Sometimes, I just feel so old but yet so young.

Before everything gets busy this week...

So first off, I am totally useless at this job search thing. Applied at 5 and no response yet from any. So next batch of applications will have to go out before the end of this week. I need a job before it gets too far into June b/c by the end of July I will be at Brevard Distance Running camp.

Training is going well though I have tore up my feet yesterday because I played ulimate frisbee in no sock but shoes. So it feels like my feet are one big blister. Did 6X1000 meters today, and it pretty much sucked. Though I did get some sun on the track which is always a good thing especially since my blonde hair is slowly getting darker.

The rest of my week is going to be filled with Spring Fling ( Oh, how I love High School championships), trying to find work and going to memphis for a wedding.

Oh, I have a rant too. I really dislike people who always have to one up you. Like I was talking to someone about how I am volunteering to get a t-shirt so I can get in free to the events the rest of the week. Well, this girl (who I have never ever liked), has to say "Well, I get in free too because Coach Martin likes me". Later, someone asked me if I got my haircut (which I did) and this same girl had to say, "Well, I am getting mine tomorrow". Then a few of us were talking about classes in college, this girl who just graduated high school, had to chime in about how hard her AP class was. Goodness, I was standing with a girl who had a 4.0 in high school, took all the hard classes and is going to Notre Dame. I am damn sure your AP class was not that hard. I just do not understand this need to one up another person. People like this just need to get over themselves, they aren't that great.

I forgot about Boro weather

I have been back in Murfreesboro for about a week and I have begun the dreaded job hunting. I have been taking applications from everywhere and I still need to turn quite a few in. I am really hoping for a job somewhere I would enjoy and the hours can be quite flexible. I really enjoy having time to run twice a day if I want to but I realize that I really can’t be that picky. I trying to start up a Coaching business which might be difficult but I think I will be able to do it. I know I have the skills to be a personal running coach it is rather I can drawn a large enough group.

The semester turned out quite well grade wise, all As so far and I am sitting here waiting for my Spanish grade which should be posted by now, but the Professor has not turned it in yet. I am pretty sure I have a B, but I am never sure. I know I really blew the midterm and I have no idea what I did on the final. I can only wait and see. I really hate waiting on things, I always have.

I am really thankful to be rid of my room in the dorms. My roommate who I got along with amazingly the whole year suddenly started to frustrate me by the end. The room was a complete wreck and I tried to clean up the best I could while packing but it seems that we both lived as slobs. With my roommate only there on Tuesday and Thursday, I really had no help in the first cleaning and I am sure I left a ton of stuff for her to clean up, I kinda feel bad. She also borrowed some of my luggage at the beginning of the year and I kept reminding her to bring it back, well it never got back. She borrowed it without asking in the first place. It really upset me that she did not return it, it upset me more that she was not around for me to yell at or at least be sarcastic to. I am sure it will eventually get back to me, and next year I am in a house with a whole different group of girls. As of right now, I am sleeping on the pull out couch in my own house and trying to figure out where to place all my clothes and my three bags of shoes.

I started my training for RC Cola and Moon-pie 10 miler today. It was a wonderful six miles with my favorite running partner. I have really yet to find a better training partner then Nicky. She always pushes me and makes me do more mileage then I really ever want to do. It was wonderful to be back at the Battlefield again. I got home and our greyhound (Flibi which is said like flyby) needed a walk so I volunteered. We usually do a run type thing so after peeing on a tree Flibi decides to take off at top speed ( like 30 mph). I don’t know if Flibi figured I was the record holder for 100 meters (Asfa Powell 9.77) but it ended up me being dragged behind on the concrete until he finally decided to stop. I would of let go of the leash but with greyhounds that is like the biggest no-no, they get scared easily and you can’t catch them like they go wild in two weeks. I am beaten up pretty good and I thought I might make it through a month with nice knees. I just have the worst luck with dogs, this time last summer I had hit one on my bike and ended with a concussion and in the emergency room. Oh well, it just gives me an excuse not to walk the dog.

Slacking....

I should not be sitting here writing this. If I were to be writing I should be writing for Flotrack but I'm not.

I really should not be sitting at all. I should be packing up my college life in little boxes. I should be making sure that I have everything ready to go to leave Butler dorm.

I should be studying. I have two finals tomorrow; Spainish and English. I should be making sure I know the pieces of work and how to say "I broke my arm"-"Rompio mi brazo"- I think.

I should not be on Facebook, runnersworld, runningtimes, or Flotrack.

I should be alot of things but I'm not.
