Winter Break!!

I made it through the semester!!! I finished and I am fairly certain I have all "b's" and I am perfectly okay with that!! It was a hard last few weeks. This week I have been fighting a terrible cold, ya know the chills and shakes, cough, runny nose...the works. Ugh, but I think I am starting to feel better finally!! And best of all I have a whole month off of school!!! WOO HOOOOO!

I took this week off from running. My last run was last Sunday and it was TERRIBLE. Seriously, I am not sure I have ever felt that awful. I could not catch any oxygen and I was breathing SO hard. I dragged Brandi out of her nice warm house on a windy, cold, wintery day and I failed. I knew as soon as I took about ten steps I was never going to make the planned 8 miles. I think Brandi thought I was just whiney, but something felt off. I was breathing so hard and I felt like my pulse was easily in the 200 range, not usual. So I convinced her we needed to shorten it....turned it into 6 miles and called it a day. I left her house came home showered and crashed. On Monday morning I woke up with a lovely fever and have gone downhill since! Oh well. It gave me plenty of reason to sit in bed and study for my finals.

I have been bugging Carrie lately to run with me, because I miss running with her!! She had been super busy with GOTR and now she is back into her gym workouts hardcore, I think she is working out with her futrure SIL, but I still miss her!! She finally agreed to run with me this Sunday!!!!

I really hope I start to feel great again, because I am trying to stick with my new training plan!! Going to rest up!!

It is starting to feel like winter...

It is rather chilly out there this morning. I really wish it wasn't quite this cold, but oh well I guess it had to happen sometime. I need to really stop procrastinating because I have to get in 8 miles today. I have altered my plan for the hundredth time and now it looks perfect to me...again :).
Carrie texted me and said that she had an amazing run today, I am slightly jealous. I feel like I am craving an amazing run, but I don't really have a person to do a long run with. Brandi is so much faster than me and she really pushed me, but at the same time it is almost too much for me to take on a long run. Besides my legs really have been bothering me in the last few weeks. I have these terrible shin splints!
Anyways, last week of finals!! I have three, one on Monday Wednesday and Thursday. I haven' teven started looking at the stuff for tomorrow. It is on nutrition I guess....we didn't even have a nutrition class this semester! Ok........Getting my ass in gear!!!
