Ultra marathon

Awkward pets?

Happy Thursday! How is the weather by you? Yesterday it started out raining in the low 40’s in Pittsburgh and ended up in the low 30’s and snowing by 2:30–right when I got out of my last class. Brrr. I usually walk Lola after classes and yesterday was no different..except it was cold, so I bundled up. 
I also attempted to take pictures of Lola with little success. 

Other picture fails:


Face time with Jimmy. Cause I hardly see him. Sad.

Does anyone have a cat who likes to sit like this?


Lily (Hannah’s kitten) often sits like the above picture^

So when I see her sitting like that I like to grab her paws and look into her eyes. It is really awkward for the both of us.



Okay, enough.

This post has been really random! Other random tidbits:

-Yesterday my mom went to spinning for the first time with me. She liked it & now Hannah wants to go. Rock on.

-I had my last microbiology class yesterday and I’m kind of sad because I liked it so much.

-I can’t wait to have time to bake and read more over the holiday break! 

-I can’t decide if I want to do a marathon in March or an ultra in April. I hate running in cold weather. I don’t know what to do!

Do you have any weird things that you do with your pets?!

[Besides holding Lily’s paws when she sits upright, I try to get Lola to come into the bathroom while I shower to keep me company but she is scared..lolzzzz]

Updates: college & ultra marathon

I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1 Corinthians 1:10

I think a lot of Christians often fight about little things in the Church and in life. It makes me sad because we should all be united and working towards one goal together!

Time for some updates: I won’t be doing the ultra marathon. But here are some pictures from the trail run…

To be honest I am kind of relieved to not be running this ultra because I don’t feel prepared at all. Here is why I’m not running it:

Yesterday my cross country coach emailed me (and other new girls on the team) my first week of summer runs for Seton Hill. I asked him if I could do the trail run and seriously, he kind of freaked out on me. Great. He actually made me sound dumb for even asking.

That makes me sad. My first thought was, “Well, I should have chose to go to OVU for college because surely a Chritsian coach wouldn’t have treated me like that.” But I am a naturally sensitive person so I’m not going to stress out about it.

I am actually going to take more time off of running before I start my summer cross country training. My body needs rest and I don’t care what my coach says. Sorry dude. I’ll let ya’ll know when I do decide to start running and what the coach has all of us doing. This week is only slow runs and pretty short runs. (The longest being 6 miles). So i’m not worried about skipping them. He also has us running 7x a week, which is weird to me cause I love my rest days.

On a positive note, it is supposed to be 80* in Pittsburgh today! Yee-Haw!!!!

Ever have one of those “crap what did I get myself into moments?!”
