Way too long

It has certainly been way too long since I have posted, and sort of have a good reason? My sister was in town two weeks ago, and last week i was sick so I didn't get much of running in anyway.

After being on a 2 week hiatus, I tied up my shoelaces and went for a 6:15 run around Davis Island with the team. I ran 5.5 miles, in a little over 1 hour, then chit chatted and was a social butterfly. The full marathoners were doing 12 miles, and when they came for water, they still had 3 more miles to go so I decided to go for another mile. 6.5 miles done, I have NEVER ran that much ever in my life, as far as I am aware.

After that, the pain really started to occur. I managed to hurt the outside of my foot which I ices 2x yesterday, and my black toenail is beginning to hurt again and I am patiently waiting for the nail to just fall off already. It has been over a month already!!

This week, I was also told I "had a bun in the oven", so after I told the coach that, he teased me and that's really why I decided to run (Thanks, Pete!) The last mile wasn't too bad because an Alum, Jessica, was running and she doesn't shut up! Which is really good because even though I can't talk while running, it is always nice to run with someone!

I have two more weeks of school and will hopefully be able to log all my miles, and get some training done. After that, I head to Cape May for a well needed vacation for everything here in Tampa. it's certainly going to be a very stressful 2 weeks, and most of the assignments are due the 18th, so I am very nervous to complete everything!! Send me your good luck's and motivation!!

Later today, I start a cake decorating class, which I couldn't be more excited for!!!

That's it for now, Off to go prepare food for the week and do homework, I have a real exciting day planned, and week!

crazyy week catch up

So, I am so bad with posting on here but I would be more than happy to give you recap of my last week!!

So, Last week I was sick so I was unfortunately unable to get any running in. I was sick enough that I had to call into work, which we know I Never do. With that being said, it truly limited what I was able to do. As you remember, I am sure you heard about my black toe, which is getting blacker but not as painful. Although, it only seems to hurt while I have sneakers on..what a shame!

O.K. Well this weekend I met one of my pledge sisters, Stephannie in Orlando for the Disney's Expedition Everest Challenge. It was so much fun, and I want to do it every year. I was very proud of myself. For coughing and not being able to breathe, and not putting a sneaker on for over a week, I ran almost the whole thing, then again for the scavenger hunt part! We finished it in 40 minutes, and that included the obstacle courses, so if we take all that out, definitely under 37 minutes at the most! After the race, we got our medals and food (Yummy) and they closed the park down so it was a pleasure!! Ride after ride and no lines, that's my type of Disney.

Now that it's the week, I am back to work, school, and training which is kicking my ass to say the least!!! I skipped Monday because I met one of my girlfriends for dinner and didn't make it home early enough, Tuesday was class. On Tuesday though I did make it to my training session with my new sexy trainer!! More on him later!!!
As today is Wednesday, I Will be hitting the gym after work, then a night filled with homework because I feel like every assignment is due at the same time! I am not looking forward to this weekend due to the fact I will be confined to my apartment doing homework! Hopefully I will get the time to leave for a few minutes.
OK, as I digress, tomorrow is my first Hill workout, Wish me luck! I'm sure my legs will be dying later. But I do love my team and want to do another Team in Training event again!! It's so wonderful
