Hey Yall
This isn't my usual running post just something on my mind, with all the end of the semester school stress i'm under. I ran this morning in the pouring rain, I thought it would make me feel better, I think it did. I pretended the rain was a shower washing me clean of my stress.
I have so much due and so little time to do it. So I do one thing mark it off and move on to the next. I still will never understand the need for a person to write a 32 page paper, what possible reason can there be for this. I can say the same things and make just as strong of an argument in half that amount of pages. The rigors of higher education are so frivilous at times it's ridiculous.
So I ran, I came home, and i'm still stressed. I will do what I have to do to get through these next 2 weeks. Jump Lesia Jump. LOL.
Man I'm so ready for vacation.

Thanks Lesia for this posting
. I have not been sleeping straight through lately and was saying I am not going to the gym today cause Im tired. After reading your post, I know I will feel better in some way after going. You will get through the rough spots and your vacation will be well earned. LOL I got a thought of you doing the mainc scene when they pour the water on her or the rocky seen when he is running
Love the flexiblity.

The operative word in your post is "end". Just keep reminding yourself that its the "end" of the semester and you only have a few weeks to go.
Work on 1 thing at a time and before you know it will all be done.
Its really good that you ran in the rain this morning, becuase me, i would have sat on my back porch eating a snickers while watching the rain fall. I would have had all kinds of excuse why I couldnt do my daily run. Now, I have no excuses, rain or sunshine I will run. I'll just keep thinking "Lee did it, why cant I"
Keep up the good work.

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!
Hey there Lee. I'll share something my son told me the last time he was stressing about school and deadlines.
He says, Mom, I just tell myself that everything is temporary and this too shall pass.
I know these are just words, but I hope it helps. I pray God's favor on your work and any exams you need to take.

PS - I ran at lunch today. I was a hot mess by the time I got back to work. Just wiped out!

Got Run 2, Week 9 done..kinda...lol! I ran for about 24 minutes...my knees are still not happy with me. I think I need a few days in between runs. So with that in mind I am going to wait until Sunday to run when I get back home from hanging with my sis.
Lee how often are you instructed to run in the 8K program? I think I may have to limit myself to 2 days a week. Guess we will have to wait and see but I am still gonna do it!

Hi April
Glad to hear your still on the grind in week 9.
On the 8K program you run 3 days a week just like with Suz.
My left knee is killing me to girl. I swear I may have to make my second runs a walk because my knee seems to be getting worse. I'll see how I feel tomorrow.
