mission: complete

i didn’t die! i didn’t die!

ok, so i knew i wouldn’t die, but i still doubted myself more than i should have. i completed an 8k (or 4.97 miles for those of us in america.) in 1:04:23!! (thats one hour, four minutes and twenty three seconds!) i’m determined to run the boulderboulder next year (a 10k) and do the 8k again. only next year, i want to do the 8k in 50 minutes or less. at least that’s my goal.

no, don’t be fooled. i didn’t run the 1/2 marathon… i wish. i ran the 8k, but we shared a finish line with the 1/2 marathon that was the same day, put on by the same people. when i was done, they gave me a ‘medal.’ its actually just a plastic key chain that says i finished, but hey, at this point, i’ll take anything to prove i did it!

this week is going to be insanely relaxing compared to last. i got through an entire day of critiques today (both for a video and a LARGE image i had to turn in). now that that is done, all i have to finish for this week is a project due friday afternoon. the week should go pretty smoothly, and then on saturday, summer break officially starts! then we’re off to durango for a week of seeing fun people and relaxing!

hell week

it’s been a crazy week. or quarter, for that matter. i’m just thankful it’s almost over! only one more week! and the sad part is, this last week has been much worse than next week will be. this week has been hell week.

i know it’s been a while, so here’s a quick update… classes are going well, we finally moved, i’m swamped with homework, lucy is sick, i’ve done one of my two runs already, and my head hurts.

ok, now that that’s over with… this weekend is going to be crazy. my mom is coming into town since my long run is on sunday. although, i feel absolutely UNprepared for this… i feel like i’m going to fail miserably. on top of that, i’m just finishing up some of my finals, but now i’m swamped with final projects. some of them are fun, so i guess i shouldn’t complain about all of them… here are a few.

so i’ve got a busy weekend ahead of me, but i think i’ll be a fun one. i’m taking an hour for myself tomorrow and getting a massage before my run on sunday. (5 miles! can i do it??) i’ll report back after my run and let you know if i’m still alive…
