Niki's Neverending Adventure

Hey everyone!! How’s everyone’s Friday going?? Mine has been pretty laid back due to the awful weather we are having. It’s literally been raining since I got up this morning, a hard rain at that! My backyard is trying to flood! I hope it stops soon!! I’ve basically been studying Anatomy all day and I think I’m about done for the day. I have a test on Monday.

I did break free from studying around 11:30 to run!! I know I said I was taking a FEW days off from running but I was super ready and itching to run today so I did! I did a 5 mile Fartleck run (the 5-4-3-2-1 run that I like so much!) on the treadmill because I really wanted to watch Grey’s from last night and not only is it raining but it’s been super windy, like 30+ mph!! Anyway, it felt great! I really ran hard and enjoyed it!! I am taking tomorrow off and then planning to do my 11 miler on Sunday. I’m trying to mentally pump myself up for it now because I think that’s more than half the battle!

Is anyone else doing Bobbi and Caitlin’s POTM 2009 Challenge?!? I am and I’m super excited about it, that’s one of the reason’s I decided to do my 11 miler on Sunday instead of Saturday, so those 11 miles could count! For those of you who don’t read their blogs, it’s basically a Pile On The Miles Challenge that goes from Nov 1- Thanksgiving and you just keep track of how many miles you run. The point is to encourage you to run through the holidays to keep the pounds off!! Sounds GREAT to me! If you want to participate and haven’t signed up yet, I think today is the last day to sign up! So click here to get all the info to sign up!

Tomorrow is Race for the Cure and I am so sad I’m going to miss it because of my Anatomy class :( You would think a breast surgeon, who operates on breast cancer patients, would be nice enough to cancel class so we could participate in the race :( Oh well, there’s always next year! Hope ya’ll have a wonderful Friday evening!!
