I'm stopping by to make a few quick updates. Life has been very busy. Yesterday I handed my adviser my 123 page thesis. I feel like it should be twice as long. My defense date was moved to April Fool's Day.... interesting. Now I am concentrating on creating my presentation.
Along with that, I have been running and hitting a few classes at the gym. The running is going well. It's pretty short and sweet, but I've been doing some speed work as well. A bunch of us, roommate included, are going to run the 7 Mile Bridge in Key West in April. I'm extremely excited! We are also looking into another half marathon in September, but I will write about that another time.
I took time out from school today to go hashing. It was a green dress run, which meant EVERYONE wore green dresses (well there were a few who didn't, but there were plenty of others, guys and girls, who did!). I was even given a St. Patty's Day lei and beer goggles. LOL. I'll try to put up a picture when I get a copy. The trail was fabulous!!! We even ran through a storm drain. Granted my shoes were soaking wet, but it was fun. At the end of the hash there was food, including chocolate cake... delicious! I did hash two other times since my pre-naming, but the pack couldn't come up with a good name for me. I have officially been named today. My new hashing name is Cum Stain Inspector... initials C.S.I., since I'm studying forensic science. It is quite amusing, and it could definitely be worse. lol.
(update... picture wearing "beer goggles". LOL)
I hope everyone in blog land is doing well! I miss reading your blogs, but I hopefully after April 1st I will have more time! Have a great rest of the month!!! And Happy St. Patty's Day!
This blog was started as a way of keeping myself motivated to keep working out, and the blog has been successful in that aspect. I started running in 2007, and it really has transformed my life. I have discovered so many inspiring individuals through the "blog world" and many delicious recipes. I use this blog to keep track of my training and write about the fun things in life. Keep checking back to read about my training for my first marathon, in February 2011.
OMG that sounds like soooo much fun!! Cute dress and pic too:)
ReplyDeleteWell done for handing in your thesis, good luck for your defense, not that you need it; you'll ace it!
ReplyDeleteI remember grad school and the thesis and its defense. After I got done with my defense, I honestly cried with relief. So stressful!
ReplyDelete...do you mean to say that it just gets harder? First year you write 40pg papers and then grad school you write 123 page thesis'?
ReplyDeleteSigh...
Do beer goggles inhibit running? lol. Looks like fun
CSI? That is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day.
Hey Jes,
ReplyDeleteYou look good w/ those beer goggles! I start my new job the same day you have your defense date! Is that a coincidence!?!
Congratulations on your naming!! C.S.I...NICE!! And you're right, it could definitely be worse!!
ReplyDeleteAre you on HashSpace yet?
Good luck with your thesis!
