t.g.i.F!

"it's friday night, and the mood is right.  gonna have some fun, show you how it's done, tgif!"

Oh yes.  I went there.

And, if you don't know where that is from,
you missed out on a great time in American television.



fact.
look it up.

Looking back over this week and the drama that has unfolded with grad school and the crazies, I would say I have learned about myself that I have grown up.

By this I mean, when the girls in my group were arguing I honestly was able to just sit back, laugh to myself, offer any suggestions that I thought would be helpful and ultimately just take myself out of the mix.  I can remember a time in my life, probably less than two years ago, that I would have been quick to snap back and tell them what I thought about their actions.  But honestly, I was really impressed with myself.  I know that is a little pat on the back for me but I believe it was a big step.  Now granted, it could have something to do with my crazy pills but hey, progress is progress, is it not?

I have officially come full circle my friends.
This time last year I was getting ready to run in my first race:

This year I am bumping my 5k up to a 1/2 Marathon!
This weekend, I will be running in my second 1/2 Marathon with these two lovely ladies:

*ignore the straws, it was a bacherlorette party*

But yes, this weekend will mark my second attempt at the 1/2 and I am hoping to beat my time from December's White Rock!


My parents will be here this time to witness me and my wanna-be fastness PLUS Bret and Daddy will be running in the 5k portion.
Should be fun!  I am getting excited and I am anxious to start running!
