Last night I went out for a short run. I wanted to do 5 miles, but after a loop around the neighborhood with a brief stop halfway, I was too tempted to call it quits. And I did. I only did 2 miles. My justification for it was that I was going to go out and do 5 today. I am slowly trying to get back into this running groove, as my running log for the past two weeks was rediculously low on numbers.
It was gorgeous when I went out for my run, alone. The first mile it seemed as if my breathing was off and I just couldn't get into a good comfortable stride. Then the last mile was smooth as could be. I should have just kept going. Oh well.
The past month or so has been an emotional rollercoaster. And, I am glad to know that I am not the only one out there feeling this way right now. Between finishing up school (which I pretty much have accomplished), searching for a job (still in progress), and thinking about the possibility of moving away from all my friends and family, it's been rough! Tuesday night was the last night of class for me... and as I looked around, I realized that many of those that were sitting there...I wouldn't see them for a while, if ever again. There were tears, there was laughter. All of us RT's have been through so much together and I have become so close to many, some more than others. This song goes out to my RT's...
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not o sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day
Are you sad because you're on your own
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends
Before I sign off... I just want to give a shout out to Wes and wish him luck with his first Tri this weekend! Good luck!

Thanks S! Ya know? You are gonna be just fine girl :-)
Hey girlie, hope your world brings you balance and much more laughter soon!
Congrats on classes being over! I'm with you on the 'emotional rollercoaster' thing. I'm trying (trying: the operative word) to remind myself to have fun and enjoy the ride - hope you can do the same :-)
I know how you are feeling about moving away from your friends since I have done it myself. I think you will do just fine. It's nothing to stress over.
Don't beat yourself up about the run. You went out there and you started. That's the important thing. And with all that's going on, running should be the thing that relieves stress not creates it. If it stresses you out, cut back. That's an order.
Congrats on moving your life in positive directions - you're going places, woman!
