spark

i'm feeling better, more confident, and less worried about where my immediate future is going to take me. i still need to secure a job for next semester, but i am feeling more and more at ease about both possibilities (staying here or going home). i am truly not sure as to which would be better. both choices have their advantages and disadvantages. i honestly just can't wait to start bringing home a paycheck, either way.
i have a half marathon in a little over a month. i am completely signed up and locked into this thing. i have not been training diligently. tomorrow, since i am finally 98% over my sickness that i've had for the last 9 days, i am going to start super training. who knows what that means exactly, but i need to get at least close to 9 miles before the race. they say if you can run 9 then you can run 13. i just want to finish without looking like an idiot...or dying. first i need to start drinking more water. i do not drink nearly enough. i need to replace my daily diet dr. pepper with a bottle of water. easier said than done. secondly, i just need to get out there and run. what i may need to start doing is taking my gym clothes with my to school so that i can go straight to the gym from school and not have that temptation to stay parked on my couch when i get home. we'll see how it goes....
