Back At It

It's been a while since I posted anything-it's hard to find something to follow that last post!-but I think about writing all the time. My best ideas almost always come at night when I'm trying to fall asleep and I fool myself into believing I'll remember my thoughts the next day. If I am lucky enough to remember them, I can compose a 3 page dissertation in the shower, but never actually get around to writing it down as I rush to get out the door to work. However, I miss writing. As many of my friends are finishing finals right now I'm reminded how much I love being out of school, but I do miss writing. So I will be writing more often. This is my return!

I just found out wasps can BITE in addition to stinging. What kind of sick joke is this?!

Awkward 24th

As I've become more familiar with my neighborhood I've become more comfortable running in the mornings (not without a quick text to my mom or someone who'd miss me, telling them the direction I'm headed and time I'll be back!) But I headed out last Thursday morning with the usual mass of bikers and suddenly realized there were an usual amount of joggers and they were heading the opposite way...and wearing yellow number bibs.  I was so confused until I saw the water station and the sign posted marking Mile 17 : I had inadvertently ended up running the wrong direction on the Pioneer Day Marathon course, OOPS!  I felt a little awkward, but I kept my head up and finished my run-with the added encouragement of a little old man in a wheelchair on the side of the street :)
