You’re welcome.
1. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Why did I take so many classes with finals my last semester of law school? I have friends with NO finals and I have four and paper. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
2. You have probably seen this elsewhere in the blogosphere, but Under Armor ihas a great campaign called What’s Beautiful. Their concept is to redefine the female athlete and want to help you set and achieve a personal goal. Anyone can sign up and join in! We’ve created teams to help encourage one another and although most teams are based on physical goals (such as PRing a 5K), you can also have emotional based goals as well. I’ve created a team based on my post last week about being yourself and loving yourself without caring what other people think of you.
Feel free to join my team here, and you can follow me by going to my profile, clicking on one of my challenge images and clicking “Follow Athlete”. I’ll be doing a bigger post on this challenge next week, but I wanted to get this out there to you all!
3. I love the song Thrift Shop, and we all know I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, so I definitely loved this image that Kelsey sent me:
4. I love Chicago in the summertime. Love. I’ve finally become one of those people that has lived here long enough to not remember how nice it is to live somewhere warm year round, so I think summertime in Chicago is the best thing ever.
5. Can someone call Barbri and tell them how rude it is to start Bar prep the day after graduation? It basically means the only time I get off is Graduation weekend, aka not a break. Not cool, Barbri, not cool.
6. The nice weather is luring me back outside, and the fact that I’m horribly out of shape. It’s really humbling to go from marathon ready to being whooped in the butt by 3 miles and I’m ready to really start training again. I just have to take it slow with my mileage increase.
And yes, I know this time is not bad by any means, but please remember I’m not comparing myself to anyone but myself, and I know I want to be faster. And that was a painful 27 minutes…
7. I was contacted about a race, the Move for the Kids 5K, which supports the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. The money raised benefits many children and their families, who’s stories you can read here.
The race is taking place on May 19th at Solider Field at 8am. I won’t be attending since that’s graduation weekend and my family is in town (too many activities in one day) but if you’re interested, they’ve offered a $4 off registration code that is good until May 13th, so if you’re in the area be sure to sign up! The code is: readM4TK
8. I miss Molly. I haven’t seen her in a week…
Have a great Thursday!
