I suppose a little update will do... this past week was midterms and not only did I have 4 exams, but I aced every single one! Lowest score out of my tests was a 92%! This week was exhausting, from being stressed one hour to being relieved the next to being ecstatic the next as I got my score. Good grief, school is turning me into some psycho version of myself. I am definitely the most proud of my kinesiology practical exam, I only missed 4 points out of a possible 100, and that's because I missed a landmark on a goniometry measurement. It was a huge confidence boost to me because it really showed me that physical therapy is definitely what I want to do, and not only that but I am a natural at it. Also, I love it!! It feels so good to do great in school :) I'm even starting to be known in class for my test scores. In fact, I'm usually the first one done taking a test (I know, I'm one of those people) so when I was second the other day my teacher actually commented on it, haha! He was like, what's wrong with you? You finished second, not first! Anyway, school is going great, if you couldn't tell :)
My running life is going pretty swell, too. I have yet to do a great 8-mile run (I feel like the treadmill one last week still doesn't count) but yesterday me and Heather ran a pretty good 6 mile run. The first three miles we ran super fast, as in like 5K pace fast. We ran our second mile in 9:23....yikes!! That is a minute faster than usual! Which begs the question, have I just been lollygagging when it comes to my pace? Can I really hold a faster pace for longer OR am I just getting faster naturally with all these hill and speed workouts? Let's hope I am improving, I feel like I've been the exact same pace for my entire running "career". I would absolutely love to get to the point where a 9 minute mile is the norm, but I still feel like my body is not made for that! Who knows, maybe if I put as much dedication into running as I do my naps (HA, not likely) I could actually become really good? Something to think about.
What else, what else? Oh, I'm dating someone. But, let's not say any more than that so I don't jinx it :)
Anywho, all that has kept me going the last two or three weeks is the thought of SPRING BREAK, or more importantly, MEXICO. And ARIZONA. And my FAMILY. I am flying home this Thursday and I really really wish that this week will go by fast!!! Gah!! I am so sick of being cold all the time and so all I can think about is laying on the beach in Rocky Point and eating tacos til I can't eat no more! And getting tan!! YES. My poor body has been so sun-deprived. Who would've thought that the sun could shine but not produce ANY WARMTH?! Freakin Utah....
