It's Close

2 weeks away until I leave on my mission.

A year ago I was saying the same thing, but about Jerusalem.

Mission Call!

I'm going to the Italy Rome mission. I report to the Provo MTC on August 31st.

WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

San Diego

Last weekend I went to San Diego for a wedding and to see my sister! I am a fan of San Diego...just a bit.

That about sums up my weekend :) I got to catch up with my sister, go to a beautiful temple to see my friends get married, explore San Diego, go to the beach, eat TONS AND TONS of food (including a MAGNUM bar and loooooooots of chips and salsa hahaha), go to Ventura to see a friend and a different beach, and be in the car lots and lots.

I was a fan.

That's it.

Results

Ok...so I didn't get my goal time. It was unfortunate, because I ended up walking a lot during the race. Seriously, I was mentally unprepared for that thing hahaha. And physically. If I ever do it again, I will train quite a bit more, and do cross-training to strengthen my legs. My legs are what killed me. But at this point I'd rather hike Half Dome or something again than run that again. I'm just being a wimp. I guess it was fun overall though.

My final time was 2:22. So that is about 10:48min/mile pace...not so great, but oh well. I am content that I finished and that I did not die.

But I did not get a slurpee :( AHHHHHHHHHH. I must get one this week!

It's Tomorrow!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

13.1 miles!!!! 

I realize this is not completely outrageous, yet I'm pretty darn excited that it'll be over in about 12.5 hours hahaha. Then I can go drink a slurpee. I've been on a no-sugar diet this week (except for the M&Ms in my trail mix today), and I hope that helps me tomorrow morning as I run. The slurpee will make it all worth it tomorrow!!!

Allergies attacked me this week also, after moving back to Fresno (go figure), so my running was not so good the few times I went. I'm basically scared for this run! I know I can do it...but it might not be as good as I was originally hoping when I signed up for this thing haha.

My goal at this point is a 10min/mile pace, bringing me in to finish about 2:10. I will be soooo happy if that happens. Because I'm not a fast runner :) My other goal is to just not be last hahaha. 

My strategy tonight to pump myself up was to watch a big triathlon race in Alabama...even the commercials got me excited to race tomorrow!! I will never be as hardcore as these intense competitors, I'm doing this just for fun and excitement tomorrow. It will be a cool thing to say I did though!

Hahaha.

Good luck to everyone running tomorrow! Race or not :)

Fresno

I'm home for the summer and I'm sure it'll be an interesting one!

It was pretty great to see a lot of friends at church yesterday on Easter.

Now I have to unpack. I ripped everything apart today to try and find my running shorts, only to find them 20 minutes later in the laundry room. I guess they were in my dirty clothes bag and I forgot...now my clothes are EVERYWHERE in my room. Goals tomorrow: unpack/organize/dye hair. Yeah, that last one is a random one. I might now do it though, I'm not sure yet. :)

P.S. - watch these videos and laugh.
