Life lately

Hey there. School has picked up a bit for me and I’ve been busy! Here is what has been going on in my life lately:

– I’m still training for the June marathon and so far I have been injury free. I have been running outside- okay I run outside like once week. I always try to do my long run outside though. This week's long run^My long run for this week done in 30* temps. I can’t wait for warm weather running! For the marathon, I am focusing on training conservatively. If I end up liking marathons then I will train more seriously for my second. No need to stress!

-I am convinced that a pb&j a day keeps the doctor away. Just kidding. But really. I am loving pb&j sandwiches! 

–I finished reading this book:-Now I’m onto this book:I have been making time in my day to do “personal” things like reading for pleasure and writing in my journal. I notice on the days when I neglect to read my Bible, journal, or just read, I get stressed out. So I try to do something little for myself each day.

Other things:

–I have been planning and doing a lot of behind the scenes-type things that I will inform everyone of as soon as I can. These things involve a possible job (surprise to come near the end of February!), a fundraiser, and something else. Fun stuff!

-I love this boy:Oh yeah, I still suck at bowling. Like anyone thought that was going to change 😉

-Pittsburgh got snow:Brrrr.

Alrighty, I’m off to shop for a Valentine’s Day gift for Jimmy. I have no idea what to get him…. any ideas?! (He’s really into technology + video games + boy-type stuff.)

Have a great day!

It was nice

My winter break was so nice. I’m quite sad to see it go.

I go back to school tomorrow..yikes! I looked at my schedule and I still have no idea where some of my classrooms are, but I know everything will pan out and I’ll be fine after the first 2 weeks. I just get nervous to start a new semester! What will my professors be like? Will all of my classes be hard? What if it snows and I can’t drive to class? What if I get sick? When I start freaking out about all of those questions, I just take a step back and pray. It makes me feel better :).

Pictures from my last days of freedom:

Bible study with Jimmy! (Yay.. this was a part of my 2012 goals/resolutions.)

Snuggling with Lola<33

Folding laundry with the family cat, Callie.

I washed my truck, inside and out. FELT AMAZING!

I went to masters swimming on Saturday morning! Hence the wet hair..

Jimmy & I went to IKEA to look for a TV stand for his room. We were so lost and confused.

Jimmy got what he wanted! A TV stand thing!

Having a lot of December and part of January off was so nice. I think I really needed the break to just relax and have fun after a tough semester.

Now it’s time to hunker down for the spring semester. I have some fun things coming up soon though. Like races, a possible job opportunity, and lots of church activities (TURBO TUBING!).

Today is my last day of freedom. I’m going to church and then doing something I’ve been wanting to do my whole entire break… ice skating! Huzzah!

Have a great day 🙂
