'i think you've found your niche'
i've been really looking forward to the end of this quarter for a ton of reasons, but one of the main ones is that i can actually start running again on a regular basis...
anyone that knows me knows that running is a huge part of my life and it's something i love to do for some odd reason. i haven't run this sporadically since seventh grade - that's like almost ten years ago (a scary thought in itself).
anyways, now that i have the time to run again i'm feeling so much better! i had an awesome 40 minute run in the heat today. I'm not sure my overall distance or overall pace, but my timed miles were 6:56 on the way out and 6:38 on the way back! Those times aren't amazing at all or anything but they surprised me - I wasn't really working too hard but i didnt expect to hit anything under 7 right now, especially on a moderate run.
so my goal will be to return to running the Twin Sizzler on July 4th, in Medina, a race I had run for 6 consecutive years before i had to miss it last year because of work. I think my best times there are 16:59 for the 5k and 36:10 for the 10k. i'd like to beat at least one of them.
in other news...anyone know anything about political economy? i'm working on my take-home final for it and its pretty much the last thing i have to do for school...so i'm looking for any help to make it easier. i'm sooo dunnnn with this quarter!!!!!
