and life goes

some life updates!

1. i got the recording of my presentation that i did for my leadership program. take a look! it’s a little hard to hear, but i did have a mic and i could be heard during the presentation.

 

2. i’m wrapping up my classes that i took this semester. i’ve got another couple weeks left of my yoga history/philosophy class and my relaxation/meditation class. i just have to write two final essays, which should be easy peasy. i did write up a meditation script, which i might share in a couple days.

3. UGH let me tell you about my half marathon last weekend. i almost didn’t run it and was waffling up til the morning of, but then i got dressed, and once i get dressed, then i have to go. it was cold. at starting, it was 26º. as the day went on, it got maybe 4º warmer, but the wind picked up up up and it was brutal. but here’s the best (worst) part: a half marathon is 13.1 miles. this one, even on the official website!!, is mapped out at 13.5. i was hauling my cold, tired self from mile 12.5 onward wondering how on earth this half mile is SO. LONG. went on forever! but the 13.5 length suddenly made sense as to why i was just dying for the last (fake) half mile. and ultimately, it’s FINE. but when they send your final results? they base it on 13.1!!! so my GPS told me my pace was a respectable 12:05 mile, but the official results list 12:25. not cool! if i were a competitive runner and using this race to get into other races, i would complain. but it’s done. phew! i have another half marathon now on may 7. here’s hoping the weather is at least above freezing. i’m not holding my breath though, considering how this spring has been going.

4. i’m SO ANXIOUS for warmer weather. the gloaming is at 8:30 p.m. and i want to be out enjoying it, but it’s hard when it’s 35º and snowing. come on warm weather!!!

  1. Say a brief prayer to your grandmother Wallace! She always had her eye out for temperate weather; if there is a chance that for it she might be able to enhance it. It’s worth a try.
