saturday (get. ishhh. done.)

I am so boring my god.  Seriously I was in bed (gladly) before 12am last night and spent all of today embracing my virgo tendencies.  I deep cleaned the SHIT out of my apartment, got rid of 92302125915 pages of organic chem, physics, and bio notes that I am gladly saying sayonara to, canceled my POS internet provider (thanks neighbor who doesn’t block their wireless heh), paid bills on time like a responsible adult, and finished it all off with my first bridge run since surgery. 

Lots of running firsts in the past couple of weeks, huh?  I did 5 miles on Thursday morning, too…16 weeks post op officially…I was premature with last week’s 4-miler!  I know you’re all sick of hearing about it but it just makes me smile and love life.  3 months ago I was sobbing my eyes out feeling like I would never run again.  Dramatic much?  But really, major sports injuries are a humbling experience and it’s certainly been a rollercoaster ride.  Never take advantage of your ability to move your body.

All my instagram/facebook friends already saw this picture but I am obsessed.  SHE IS THE BEST.  Stella joined me on my 3 miler this evening, and what a gorgeous one it was!  She was dragging by the end because now I’m faster than her hehe.

I took it pretty easy but still clocked in at a sub 9 minute mile pace, totally pain-free.  My knee was kind of throbbing for a bit earlier but it went away and I feel good…didn’t even ice it.  Time to drag myself away from my new Walking Dead obsession and be social since it IS, in fact, Saturday!  Have you guys seen this series yet??  Someone recommended it and I am 100% hooked. 

ZOMBIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

TGIF!  All my days kind of run together now because I have no schedule, except for therapy days.  For all my working friends wahoooooo to you!  This rain needs to end because I woke up mad sore.  It’s way easier to have a positive attitude when the sun is shining!  I am looking back at the good times I had this time last year because they make me happy.  September and October were jam-packed.

I met Lauren for the first time and ran my first half marathon with her!  We showed up with the same shirts…obviously making us friends for life.
