The Best Kinda High

So first off I know I have been gone for a week and I'm sorry...school has been crazy with finals, but I can now say that I have finished my FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE.....yayyyy :) Now that most of the stress is gone I can focus on training and working until summer school starts.
We had our team run at Road Runner Sports this morning. Bright and early at 8AM...let me just say running is probably the best cure to a long night partying. I know getting up early and running just does not sound appealing after a crazy night, but trust me it works wonders :)
I ran 5 miles today at a solid 9 minute mile pace (which is decent considering I haven't ran in forever). After our run we had a clinic on shoes and boy did I need it. From day one they told us not to wear cotton shoes...but you know me I gotta learn it the hard way. After a week of running in cotton socks I have blisters on top of blisters and have adequately learned my lesson. Maybe it is time to start taking advice the second people (well at least the ones who know what they are talking about) give it to you.
After our clinic I went into road runner and lets just say they liked my business...hahha I finally made it out of there 2 and a half hours later with a new pair of running shoes, insoles, socks (not COTTON), two sports bras, a couple new shirts, some headbands, and a VIP membership. All i can say is...my money was well invested in a successful race.
Everyday I meet with the team I leave our sessions feeling like I am on cloud nine. This week was a testimony to how hard it is to run long distance by yourself. The motivation of my teammates and the whole atmosphere just makes the runs go by so much faster and so much fun. Last week I met Loren and her daughter (they live in Scripps) and we coordinated to do our mid-week runs together. I am so EXCITED...because five miles by yourself just gets boring and long.
Well I'm out for now...got to tend to the disaster of a room. I'll be back soon though I promise
