This feels good..

I have a personal motivator on my ipod that repeats phrases like "this feels good" while I'm running.  It sounds silly, but it works to block out many (not all) of my negative thoughts about it.  Today I find myself saying "this feels good".  It feels good to not have the worry of what homework I'm behind on or trying to strategically plan my week around school and work.  The semester is over and it feels great!  Now, I have two weeks before summer school starts... but who wants to think about that right now?

I can finally get some little projects done around the house.  I will be running more for sure.  My nerves are getting to me about the whole race.  I've had people tell me stories about altitude changes when running a race.. none were very inspiring.  I will just have to train at my best and then hope the altitude doesn't kill me.

But for now, I am just enjoying life. This guy here is my best friend and even though our schedules clash, we try to soak up every second together.

We took a Sunday afternoon walk tonight- the weather has been perfect this last week.  Next week, the temps are rising and you'll be able to find me out by the pool (if I'm not at work).

I do not like this picture, but I had to show my long hair!  I feel like I just woke up this morning and it was long.  My plans are to keep growing it until the fall and then chop it right off!  Anyone know how long hair should be to donate?

 

 So I've been having some pretty crazy dreams lately and many of them are taking place in downtown Juneau.  I'll spare you the actual dreams because we all know they're never as funny for the people listening.  I sure hope my dreaming of Alaska never ends.  Matt will also wake up some mornings and tell me about his adventures there too, haha.  Can you believe it's been a whole year since we left for Juneau?!  Crazy. We won't ever forget our summer there and it sure is a lot cheaper to visit in your dreams!

This is Gold Street- we lived straight up this street- 7th & Gold!
