talk about a full day. i should be heading to the library but i wanted to take a minute and just SIT. so that's what i'm doing.

i've been blogging a lot lately. march madness.

today was my first 9 mile run day! and i did it!! and i did it in good time!! i was super happy about that. sure my right foot started hurting about mile 4 and after mile 5 i was bummed i still had 4 more left but i perked up around mile 6ish and then my friend sean honked and yelled at me when i had just a mile left and i was in a tank top and shorts and it felt like summer and i really did feel good. :)

only 4 miles left! heck, only 2 left for training. i'm getting so close!!! i think i like the long runs better than the short runs even. and i feel great after that 10K on saturday. i think it really helped me get my faster muscles going. i'm making way better time now and feel faster which is super great. i love racing!

but then i had to rush to the store to buy food for dinner group tonight (tofu casserole--it was really good! and garlic bread, salad, green beans, limeade, and mint choco chip ice cream. green... for st. patrick's day... hopefully you gathered that). and i was just going to get st. patty's day cookies for the holiday but smith's didn't have anything! so i went to macey's, which had some things but not much so i just got green ice cream. but then i got caught in traffic heading home and by the time i arrived i had less than an hour to cook. i thought i was fine b/c i had glanced at the recipe and the casserole only took 30 min to bake. but i didn't know i had to cook the sauce for 10 and that the prep for the sauce would take way longer than i anticipated. so i texted my dinner group to come 10 min late... but dinner still wasn't ready... i ended up being like 25 min late. but they were all chatting, nobody was in a rush, so i think it was okay.

i'm kinda ticked though. my roommates disappeared to the back and even after getting the text that dinner would be late they didn't come out once to ask if i needed help. but they ask for help all the time! and then my gosh, only when one of them sees me running downstairs to borrow our neighbor's oven holding pans of garlic bread in my hand does she ask "um do you need help?" but i didn't respond and kept running out the door. b/c i was kinda ticked. this was when i was already 10 minutes late, mind you. i don't know, it just seemed super inconsiderate. i didn't really appreciate it. heck, i came back and was still frantically running around the kitchen and none of them asked again. so dumb.

but i'm trying to let my runner's high continue through the night so even though i have a huge paper ahead of me, i'll try to be content with things.
