Running Resolutions

Last Saturday for 8.5 miles, I averaged 7:52 pace. I truly think that I might be faster then I think. I am going to work my ass off to try to qualify for Nationals. I have never thought it possible for me to and that might be part of the problem. I am fast and I need to acknowledge that.

5:05 is the qualifying time for the mile-76.4 seconds per 400 meter lap. I can do that.
2:17 is the 800 meter qualifying time-68.5 seconds per 400 meter lap. I will have to work on that.
Plus I am learning to pole-vault.

Taylor Swift songs make me want to fall in love

I remember ( maybe incorrectly) that December has one of the highest suicide rates for a month. I can not help but think it is because one is constantly reminded of what one does not have. Advertisers constantly throw their message at their audience all day in a number of ways. Of course having the best or the most is usually equaled to self worth. Thus the have nots start feeling like a looser or non important. Add on top of that the constant reminders of love by family or a significant other that one should be receiving, the "have-nots" are feeling pretty crummy. It is sad to think that the most wonderful time of the year can be so saddening to others.

The thing is, God will always be around to give one love.

It is great to have friends and family ( and a significant other I would assume but I would not know) but if those have abandoned you, God is there. He does not care if you have the best, the most or the newest. He does not judge you on what material possessions you have, he has unconditional love for you, and that is pretty awesome.

Being back in Murfreesboro has been great. I have gotten to spend some time with old friends and continue my track training. Weightlifting, I have discovered hurts but I already feel stronger. The sun finally came out today and it was 73 when I ran today. I am trying to build mileage the next two weeks before speedwork begins, I will be up to about 45 ( average pace-8:18 - thank you flotrack)I think for this week. I ran a 21 flat for a 5k last weekend which I was impressed with due to lack of training. I can't help but wonder if I am faster then I think I am. I will figure out my craziness before racing again I hope. I suppose I am only as fast as I think I am.

Life is going oh so well ( would be better if a certain boy called but that is a different tale that might be told later on) and I find myself with a smile upon my face more often then not.

If I find vampires I will be convinced..

I think Murfreesboro is turning into forks..I haven't seen the sun since I don't know when...

Break is going well.

Right more later

Home

"We carry our homes within us which enables us to fly.." John Cage.

I am back in the boro. So far two As and I am waiting for the rest of the grades. I have a feeling that Spainish might have killed me this semester but I am still holding out for a high B. It is sad ever so slightly, that once I have hit college, I really could care less about GPA as long as it is a 3.0 or above. I just want to take classes that will challenge me or interest me and that I learn . Though really, I have never been overly concerned with G.P.A. Though I might freak out if I make a C in anything.

Class schedule next semester is a bit mad, 17 hours that include: Media Law and Ethics, Faith and Freedom, Honors Writing, Speed training, Judo, Newspaper Practicum, Track and Field, Spainish 202 and Writing for Online media. It seems like a bit much but I should be able to do it.

I am glad to be home but I am already missing college just a bit ( might be due to the bickering sisters).

Like leaves and Kings, all things must fall..

The wonderful fall leaves have left their branches and are now worm food-at least I think that is how decomposition works. It snowed yesterday, so I suppose winter is back. Which means indoor track season, I can not wait to be speedy.

I have a week left of school till I am back in the da boro. Which seems weird since I got back two day ago. Finals do not look like they are going to be too bad, only three in Spainish, Persusaion, and Video Production. I will have to study Spainish nonstop but I should be ok.

Christmas in 23 days!

Yes, I am listening to Christmas music!
