My problem with Twilight..

I went with my sisters to Twilight, you know the cheesy movie filled with teen angst about vampires. I will also admit that I have read the whole series. The story is just as filled with angst and cheesy lines as the movie but there is something in the plot that kept me reading. Whatever that was is gone with the movie but that is not my problem.

My problem is that Bella never completely freaks out about Edward being a vampire.

I know it is a fiction series but I expect for there to be some realistic emotions. I do not believe there is a girl out there who would be OK with any boy that said, "I'm a vampire". Even if I had fallen in love with said boy, I would first think that a) he was mental , b) he is pulling my leg, or c) I was dreaming. Then after I finally accepted the fact that he was a vampire and not crazy, I would freak out a little. Here is a boy that could kill me and quite painfully for that fact. Even if I trusted the boy, I would be slightly nervous all the time, if I was Bella I would wear alot of turtle necks and scarves. I suppose it is the fact that Bella just excepts it so very easily.

Thanks!

I have alot to be thankful for but tomorrow I will be thankful to go home!

That was so Barbaric

"Peter said to Paul you know all those words we wrote. Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go "

I often think that sometimes I look like a wild woman when I emerge from one of my trail runs. My hair is usually falling out of my ponytail and is going every which way. Any make-up that I put on that day is gone. Mud covers my calves and is caked upon my shoe. In other words, completely barbaric. Yet, it is at these times I feel most like myself.

The Celts would go to battle in the buff. A bit chilly, I believe. The Romans never defeated the Celts. Perhaps, it was because the Celts were so barbaric, so intuned with themselves and completely confident that the Romans just did not even bother.

I believe that we all need to be Barbarians to be so utterly confident in ourselves that we can be who God created us to be. Civilized people that wrap up everything in neat little boxes will never be brave enough not to care what others think or brave enough to be completely naked and vunerable.

Christianity is not about being safe. It is about being brave enough to be naked for all the world to see, and not caring.

Just so that I remember years from now..

My personal records this year were:
20:45 for 5k
26:26 for 6k..

Paul said to Peter you got to rock yourself a little harder

I do truly believe I am addicted to running. I have a week or two of off-season but yet I am still running. I have reduced myself to running only 4 days this week. On the days I don't run, I feel like a caged animal. I will be back to building some base mileage next which will be great.

I am already starting to miss the team as a whole, despite basically seeing them everyday. It is just weird not running with everybody every afternoon. Here is my team below, we are nuts.

So to deal with running withdrawals, I am going to go see some of my Brevard friends run DI regional and also cover the meet for flotrack! Oh, yeah press pass! Then next week, I'll be roadtripping to Slippery Rock to cheer on my teammate/roommate at Nationals. Oh, running how I love thee.

One season over...

Ran my last race of the season today. It is sad to see this season go, I'll most likly write up some highlights later on.
