Personal:

My mother forced me to start running as a freshman in high school.. and as much as I hate to admit it, I actually ended up liking it. Graduated from Pine View High School in 2013 and, after a yearlong hiatus, I am now running again, this time for USU, where I'm working on a composite Elementary Ed/Deaf Ed major.

I got off work early today.. Hallelujah. Although it is getting more enjoyable.. I'm pretty sure it was designed as a constant reminder of how unfit I am to work outdoors. I've been (almost) dragged into a pond by a mower, fallen face first into the bunker I had just raked, dropped a trailer door on my leg, and just today, slipped on some grass while mowing and smacked on the ground on my side, with my mower falling over a few inches away. Luckily, there were only three people around for that one, and they weren't watching. Anyway, what I'm trying to say, is that it was a good thing today was a short day. Because it was, I went running right after work. Except my mom has become extraordinarily grumpy every time I ask her to run with me. So Alli came, and rode her bike beside me while I ran. It was SO. HOT. And Alli wouldn't stop for water at the Chevron cause apparently it scares her (although I don't really blame her; it is kinda ghetto). So we went without water. I went from feeling really good to feeling super crappy like every 5 minutes, but I'm glad I got it over with and don't have to worry about it tonight. Cause yesterday I waited til it got cool, then my parents informed me that they didn't want to come with me, and I wasn't allowed to go by myself in the evening because I might get stolen. I blame Mia for this, because it was her blog that my mom snooped into and read about the creeper man. But I'm gonna try and do yesterday's run on Sunday (sinning, I know, but I already have to work that day, so I might as well just be absolutely terrible instead of just kinda terrible).

i think kinda terrible is much better than absolutely terrible ;)
