Muscle rub on my hamstrings, ice pack on my knee:
Welcome back to running 3 miles for four days in a row, body.
Admit it: You missed this a little. Just a little.
One more day, then we’ll rest Thursday. Muwhaha.
Love, that fighting spirit you’ve finally gotten back again

Can someone listen to me whine, please?
I got to school at 6:30am to set up the projector and ensure that everyone’s project was ready to go for a whole school presentation.
Taught all day [This bullet needs to be bigger. Am I right? I’m right, teachers.]
Ran the longer [and even more hilly] GO FAR route: Fought through the entire route with stiff, heavy legs [from strength training Sunday] and not my normal spunk...

I'm so tired of solicitors here.
I felt like this guy saw me looking through the peephole because he waved. [This is me being ridiculously paranoid.] It just scares me. A lot. As in, my heart beats crazy and I shake a little after they leave.
Maybe I just don’t need to live alone anymore.
Maybe I watch too much Law&Order: SVU.

Let's get productive, okay?
Run 4 miles with Kelli
Then, head to the library and sit until my class junk is done. [This will be fantastic because the endorphins will have me tip-ity typing. She’ll also be sitting there with me doing her PhD stuff [My friends are amazing] and she’ll hit* me if I start to procrastinate.]
I’ve just felt very focused the past couple days. Like I can let everything else slide...

This is on my mind tonight:
I believe in education.
I believe in teachers.
I believe in teachers who are passionate and loving.
I believe in teachers who do their best every day.
I believe in a staff that supports their teachers.
I believe in a community that supports their teachers.
I believe in parents who support their children and teachers.
I do NOT believe in individuals who try and stand in the way of...

I was "snow" productive today! [Get it?! Get it.]
I decided I’d get my taxes done and [with a little coaxing] finally go to the eye doctor.
Unfortunately, when you wait until THAT morning to call — people are booked. Unless you use these tips:
Turn on just a little bit of a Southern twang [just a little]
End everything with “Yes, ma’am/sir”
Explain, “I understand you’re booked today. It’s just...
Cruelest joke in the world:
Having someone wait in the waiting room without their contacts in or glasses on.
… oh, and you’re basically blind. Cruel.

This one takes the cake.
Weddings + a pregnant bride + a crying groom + Charleston + the sweetest vows in the entire world…sigh. I can’t.
Oh, Kacie. This is pretty cute. Yes, I watched all of it. No, of course I didn’t tear up a little. Pfft. Me? Nah.
Ladies, have you ever used a hair straightener to...
Ladies, back me up here.
You have. Haven’t you?

And this is how you get back into running:
Step One: Mentally beat yourself up before you even put on your sneakers.
Step Two: Run one mile.
Step Three: Feel like it’s impossible.
Step Four: Cry a little in front of strangers while your two friends give you a pep talk.
Step Five: Run two more miles. Like a boss.
Step Six: Realize that even at your worst — you can still run a 5K in under 40 minutes.
Step Seven: Realize...

Late-night thoughts:
I feel like it should be Thursday, or something. This week has seemed obnoxiously long. It’s only Tuesday. Technically, Wednesday in “teacher thought”, right? Maybe Monday was long? Maybe time is moving slower? Maybe pigs can fly?
I physically cannot stop listening to this.
I feel like watching scenes of 500 Days of Summer.
I’m also going to vomit if I see one more...

So glad the stranger I play wwf with apparently isn’t doing anything tonight either…
BAHAHA! I just started a game. I’m going to play until I get sleepy. Isn’t life exciting?
