Tuesday!

I'm sorry I have been slacking off with my posting. It's been a fun but busy few weeks. School is good, but I am counting down the weeks until winter break. This semester is a lot of work. Work is work nothing really new and exciting with that.

On Saturday afternoon, I leased a new car! I had the 2006 Honda Civic Coupe and sold that to lease the Mazda CX-7. I always wanted an SUV, and this is the perfect size one for me. I love it!!!!
This is Sandy and Chloe. Just wanted to post the picture to show how big the puppy has gotten (on the right). She is 8 months old and weighs almost 80 lbs.
Saturday after I picked up my car, I went up north to stay at Joe's. Then our families went to the ChartHouse. It was soo nice and so good! We had a lot of laughs and a great time!!
Well that's about it for today. I'm gonna try my best to update this more!!!

Happy Hump Day

Well I started classes again and so far so good. The only class I dread is Public Speaking, but it's a mandatory class to take. UGHHH. Hopefully it won't be as bad as I think. Other than that, I love my professors and my classes seem fine.



This weekend me and Joe are going to the Jets/Patriots game! I'm super excited and hope the Jets kick ass.



My running has been going good. Mom and I did 5 miles today and 5.25 on Sunday. She's putting up with me, even though I think I'm slowing her down. I can't wait to get my speed back up to where it was. I have a 5k on Saturday and I'm hoping to be in the 25's, but we'll see.

Happy Labor Day!

Well today was the first "real" run in about 3 weeks. Mom and I ran the Pier Village 5k. It's a flat out and back course. I was nervous about how slow I'd be since I haven't ran. I definitely was able to feel the tightness in my legs, but I figured it was only 3.1 miles. I wound up finishing in 26:20 and I was happy with that. This was exactly what I needed to push myself and get back into the swing of things. I'm now hoping that from here on out my running will be awesome. I plan on concentrating solely on speed and beating my 5k PR of 23:28.

Today we are just hanging out enjoying the nice weather. I was suppose to go to Joe's but he has to be at Ramapo to take care of some mandatory things :(. But thankfully, I'll get to see him on Friday!!!

I go back to school on Thursday ah! I can't believe the summer is over. I'm excited to go back, but at the same time, I don't want summer to end.

Well that's about it for now. Hope you all enjoy your Labor Day!!

Back From Wildwood







O and Wildwood was amazing!! We had such a good time!!! And the weather was amazing. I don't think I've ever eaten/drank as much as I did those 4 days. We hung out by the beach, in the pool, and went on a speed boat to dolphin watch. I didn't want it to end!






Tuesday

Well next Thursday it's back to school. My schedule is not terrible. I have classes Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. At least I get 2 days off! It's going to be a tough semester and I'm starting to freak out about the workload and keeping my GPA high. Hopefully with school starting, I'll get back into my old workout routine and drop a few pounds. Shockingly, I haven't gained any weight, but I am not happy with myself, so that's going to change!

Everything is great with my friends and family. Almost all of them left for school already, so I'm missing them. My brother got his permit!! Scary, but good. The boyfriend is great :). I'll be seeing him Thurs-Sat.

Other than that, I've just been enjoying the end of summer. My running is miserable. I can't seem to get past a few miles and it's depressing. I think I need some time off to just clear my mind and start over. I'm going to see what happens after PDR. Everytime I go to run, my knee starts acting up as well. UGH!!!!

Well I'm teaching class tonight! Everyone enjoy :)

Wildwood!!

I'm finally getting back into my running, or at least trying to. My injured knee and pulled muscle didn't help. I did an easy 3.33 miles today on the TM. I felt great and could have went longer/faster, but I didn't want to push it. I kept the pace right under a 10 mm. I need to get back into my workout routine bc I would like to drop a few pounds. I am happy with the way I look but I would be even happier if I could lose 5-10 pounds. I'm in no rush, but I'm hoping it'll come off fast.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Wildwood with Joe and his family. I'll be back either Monday or Tuesday. The weather is suppose to be nice and I'm super excited to go with them :). It's going to be a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll post pictures andall when I get back. Enjoy the weekend!

Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted in a few days. Nothing really new and exciting as far as my running is going. I have a 5k race next weekend, but my running has been low so I'm not looking for a PR. I am looking to finish around 25 minutes, but we'll see what happens. I am finding it so tough to get back into my running routine. It's becoming more of "work" for me than fun. I'm hoping to change that.

I'm working all day Friday, then I'm going to the boyfriend's til Sunday. I'm excited!!! He's such a great guy :). Other than that, nothing else is really going on this week. Just wanted to write a quick post.
