Study, Study, Study!

The only day to describe today is blahhhhh.

Even the weather agrees with me, it is very cloudy today (which probably isn't helping with my blah mood).

I have two big exams tomorrow: Marine Biology and Genetics, and they are back to back. Yuck! If you know me you know I am a huge procrastinator so I have barely started studying. I'm seeing an all nighter in my future...

This wil be my view for the next 10 millions hours. If anyone wants to come and save me, please feel free!

I also can't seem to kick this cold that I have. Not being able to breathe through your nose makes it very hard to run. Whenever my concentration starts to go elsewhere while I'm studying I will take a break and go on a longer run (hopefully).

My Favorite Place to Run

This right here is why I started to run...

Wrightsville Beach. It is my absolute favorite running spot and it is what first motivated me to start running in the first place. Look at that view! Just gorgeous. It is the most peaceful place I have ever ran. There is also this thing called the loop that is right by the beach. The loop is a 2.5 mile trail that goes around the town of Wrightsville Beach. It is concrete and much easier to run on than sand. Definitely my second favorite place to run!

And this is a picture of me and my sister's niece on Wrightsville Beach! I'm not technically related to her, but I love her like we are. She calls me "big sis" and I am completely fine with that. My sister, her sister-in-law, and her daughter came to visit me this summer in Wilmington and we had lot's of fun on the beach! Love my family!

Today I ran the loop once in 23:30 which is pretty fast for me. Still working on getting back into heavy training and getting faster times. Tonight I had one of those runs where you get lost in your music and completely forget you are running. They are the best! Before I knew it I was done with my run and on my way back to my apartment for some strength training and dinner. 

Slacking

So when I first made this blog it was summer, and I didn't have much going on. Now that classes have started back up I am much busier and I keep putting this on the back burner. I promise I am going to try and blog more often.

Not only am I slacking with my blog, I am also slacking with my running. My half marathon is in 52 days and I only have my milage up to about 5 miles- YIKES! To say I'm panicking is an understatement. So here's what I've been doing in my free time instead of running.

So this is me and my best friend Renee at the Jason Aldean concert

And this is my other good friend Summer at the concert... We all really like taking pictures if you couldn't tell. It's because we don't get dressed up and go out very much so when we do we have to document it!

And this is Jen. My number one running buddy! The concert was a blast and I couldn't have asked for better people to share it with!

These are pictures from the Matisyahu concert last night. He was AMAZING!! Such a good performer and he sure knows how to dance. I was second row so I was able to snap some really good pictures and he even jumped into the crowd and crowd surfed. It was a very fun concert!
