greetings from germany
it’s awesome here, oh my gosh. similar enough to home that it’s comfortable and not a gigantic culture shock, but different enough to be extrememly interesting and an adjustment. i love it! anyways, my host student and their friend go to a fitness class, so yesterday i went along. i’d never actually been in a gym before (only track and xc and our school weight room) but it was...

today's run: june 6, 2012
ah, being done with school is wonderful (: i woke up at 8:30, had a nutrigrain bar and some water, then drove over to the lake. i did about 5.5 miles. partway around the lake to where the trail splits, ran to the rec center and back. solid 43 minutes. it was pretty humid today, glad i got a (relatively) early start. afterwards i did 2 sets of 3 core exercises + 20 pushups and came home to eat...
there is an upwards of 80% chance i will cry at...

adistancerunner asked: Dang it, i messed that up. lmao but here are some other books: Running with the Buffaloes, Sub 4:00 the alan webb and the quest for the fastest mile, Pre, The Perfect Mile. All of them are really good! But whatever you do, MAKE SURE you read Once a Runner. I absolutely loved that book!

Watchthis video is not running related whatsoever. but every year, it’s a tradition that at the end of the last class period of the school year, the seniors gather in the locker bay for a massive paper toss. so here’s a brief video of it (: yeah 2012! it’s been real, guys.

Football Player vs. Runner
Football Player: Aw man football starts in a week. It's going to be so hard.
Runner: Aw man I have to wait a week until I can go on my ten mile runs again.
truth be told...
i get kinda irritable when i don’t run.
