a long week

it was my first full week back after 1 short week and one week of vacation. its friday, and i am tired. but only 3 or 4 classes today and then the weekend!

its been an adjustment having a commute now. it takes me about 50 minutes each way. this is approximately 45 minutes longer each way than my commute before. but, i cant say it is bad. its been pretty relaxing in the mornings. i get up and run, shower, cook, clean, head to work. i have about 15 minutes till i have to leave for today.

its marathon season. the wonderful weather this morning made me happy to be a runner. it made me forget (almost) all those horrible hot summer runs. i ran 10 miles and have a marathon in the first half of november.


well i'd better get all my stuff together and head out! have a good day!

I'm back....hopefully

Now I can relax a bit and spend more time doing some other things. It was a really busy and hectic few months. Moving to Hiro's apartment, getting married and planning the wedding and honeymoon, working full time. it was busy. Now I have yet to join a gym (putting that on hold till i get adjusted to my new schedule.)

So the wedding was good. It was a lot of work, and we are glad it is over, but it was a nice day to spend with people we love. The honeymoon was great. New caledonia was so nice. and french- speaking.

but now it's back to reality. So far, i've been trying to get my stuff unpacked and the apartment cleaned up.

marathon season is upon us.... so its back to the roads i go. figures this morning was super rainy and i waited til 930 to go run, and now it is turning out to be a really nice day out! at least i got in 2.5 miles added to my yesterday 7 mile run. its actually enjoyable now to have the time to run and the weather is cooler now.

i've been cooking more lately. sunday night, i made baked chicken and mashed potatoes. yesterday, i made stuffed peppers. tonight is left over night. I have plans to make chicken apple quesadillas- possibly tomorrow. I'm open to any fun or favorite recipes!

now that i have extra time, i think i should be able to update more and add pics soon. off to prepare lunch and relax a little before work.
