9:00 Speedwork really?

The thing about a voluntery practice is that it is never really a volunteer thing especially when your two roommates also are on the team. So I volunteered to run 1600, 2x800m, 2x400, and a 200 this morning. It hurt.

This weekend was our first weekend off in 6 weeks where we did not have a race which means that the work-outs were difficult this week. I feel stong physically but engerywise I feel a bit rundown. It might just be because of a billion test and things I seem to be having as of late. After te 21st of this week I should be good for quite awhile.

Oh, and conferance is this upcoming weekend. It seems like this season has flown by ( or perhaps sprinted is a better word). I will really miss my team once the season is over but I am not going to look that far ahead.

I haven't done anything to my hair yet.

I was thinking

So I have never ever done anything really crazy to my hair...so I was thinking perhaps a teal or purple strip on the underneath of my hair that you can only see if I pull my hair up in a ponytail. So kinda secretly different?

Not so good..

5k race sucked this weekend...
Everything seems not to be going so well.
I'll just keep praying
God never promises tomorrow
so I will enjoy today
John the Baptist did end up beheaded.

Can you let me catch by breath please?

Midterm time is awful. I feel like I am running behind even though I am actually ahead of where I need to be.

More later when I am not suppose to be studying.

Oh, I ran a 20:45 this weekend for a 5k.

I love new PRs.

Sick?

So half my XC team is sick with a stomach virius and keeping with team unity it just keeps spreading. I can only hope I am not next.

It has been awhile old friend

It has been quite a long time since I have posted about my life. So much has happened so I guess reviewing some main points would be easiest.

*I turned 21- Drinking is not nearly as glamorous or fun as shown on tv. Perhaps, it is just the type of drinking that is done here which is binge. Binge drinking seems very popular but there are so many downsides. First of all, it isn't healthy. Binge drinking usually leads to stupid mistakes that make you look like an idiot. Needless to say, I am sticking with the mantra "Everything is moderation".

*I haven't broken 21:00- I have ran as low as 21:14 for a 5k but have failed to break the 21 barrier. It is getting late in the season and I want to do it this year. I keep thinking that there has to be some type of secret. According to the book "Once a Runner"- well the secret is there is no secret. I am just going to continue to work hard and pray that I will be able to break it. There are only 3 more meets to do left in the season. Despite the setback of time, I am having a wonderful time. I really enjoy the team with Cross Country. The team enviroment is so lacking in track due to different events. We might get annoyed sometimes with each other but we all love each other on the most basic level. Oh, xc does have some more perks, we raced in Charleston yesterday and I got to enjoy an hour or two on the beach.

*I have no water- So the Landlady is nuts pretty much. Both pipes have either busted or leaked in both of out bathrooms. The first one happened about a week ago and she said it was not top of her list to get it fixed. The other one happened yesterday, we have contacted her yet she has yet to contact us. Due to this lack of communication, I had my Dad call her ( yes, I pulled the Daddy card). She chewed him out and then hung up on him. He waited an hour or so and called back. She said he had no "horse in this race" since his name was not on the lease. Considering, he is the one that pays the rent, he was convinced he did. She told him the plumber would be out tomorrow at 9 but she has yet to talk to us. She is just so disrespectful. The plumber just better be here tomorrow.

So that is where I am right now.

We are all Roman..

Are we Rome?

Perhaps

Will we fall?

Perchance

Will history repeat?

Perhaps, perchance it won't
