Meanwhile... still hoping to get your vote! 5 days of my begging left, and you can vote daily. You all are being so awesome about this, and I appreciate every single vote you send our way! And apparently Jason looks like Nevels. What do you think? http://tiny.cc/xdxfi |

I didn't enjoy tonight's run :( I think there is going to be a full moon tonight and it brought out all the creepies. Lots of weirdies honking horns (turning directions just to honk again) and even spitting at me, a backyard fire, and a dead body (I didn't see it though). All of that in 1.5 miles. I ran scared the whole time. I hate it when that happens. C'est la vie. Please take a second to vote for me and Jason to win the wedding of our dreams. We only have four days left to get votes. It only takes a few seconds: http://tiny.cc/xdxfi This whole contest has been an amazing (but tiring) experience. The support people have given us has been humbling and brought me to tears several times. We're just asking for four more days. Please and thank you!

Another short run so I can go long tomorrow. This is my first time running every day in one week since my sophomore year of college. And I just finished my 9th year of college, so it's been a while!! Went out the same way I did yesterday and within 3 minutes someone had made a crude comment. People are crazy lately, but I guess I need to stop letting it get to me. Or start running in the morning again when the crazies are still in bed. After tonight only 3 voting days left! Please stick with us. http://tiny.cc/xdxfi You all have been nothing short of awesome! I think it has to do with our innate competitive drive. P.S. There was still a heat index of over 100 while I was running, and tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter. Ew!

| Don't kill me, but I broke my "run for your votes" streak. I walked about 5 miles in my flip flops on campus today and it killed my feet and for some odd reason one of my ankles. So I decided that would have to stand for my work out today. The good part is I am finally finished with the 8 million forms I need to get signed, pay for, etc. in order to graduate. What a hassle! If you will forgive me and vote anyway, here is the link: http://tiny.cc/xdxfi If not, you can wait until tomorrow when I do intervals for your last night of votes :) | | Comments(14) |

You know it's hot when you come in from an evening workout and the heat index is STILL 102!!!! No wonder my legs were trashed!! It was one of those that leaves you saying "I am never running again." But I am super proud, even if the times weren't the best. I always say times mean nothing in this heat. And I am proud of my spot on consistency!
2x1200 (4:52 each) 2x800 (3:11 each) 2x400 (82 each) For those of you that have been following my blog the past ten days, you know what today is! The LAST day to vote for me and Jason to win the green Bermuda wedding. Please cast your final votes and keep your fingers, toes and anything else you can cross crossed until Thursday! You all rock!!!! http://tiny.cc/xdxfi

I don't usually run on Wednesdays, and today I will definitely not be running! I woke up and my legs were super sore from last night. And then Jason called and I ran to get the phone, slid on yesterday's clothes on the floor (serves me right) and banged both legs on the bottom of my bed, and my head on the bedside table. Ouch! I think I need to wear padding today. But I did want to come on to give one last Thank You to all who have voted and/or spread the word for me and Jason. Tomorrow we should find out if we are getting married in Bermuda 10/10/10 or in Baltimore next June as planned. I would much rather not have to plan a wedding for an entire year, but either way it will be a great event! While I wouldn't wish this type of contest on anyone (how nerve wracking) it was amazing to feel support come from so many places, and I will never forget the experience. | | Add Comment |

12x400 on the hot, humid track. The workout actually felt decent (I'd rather do 400s in the heat than mile repeats) but the heat upset my stomach so I didn't really get in a cool down. started around 93 and slowly picked it up, finished around 82. |

| 5k tempo with my favorite running group. Only one more tempo with them before I move :( Oh, and I actually finished it this week... and without complaining too much about the heat! But I'll just say the heat index is STILL 96 as of 9pm! Grooooosssss. |

Major bummer... Today was supposed to be my longish run (aiming for 7) but 4 minutes in I got stung my something. It got me on my forearm and flew away before I got to see it. In the past I have reacted pretty badly to bee stings, and the person at my school's health center (who are definitely not the most reliable) told me that I have a chance of having an even worse reaction (i.e. throat closing) so I have to be very cautious. So I ran to my car and didn't want to go home, because I live by myself so that makes no sense. Instead I figured I would just start driving to the hospital and get something to eat on that side of town. Yumm Chick-fil-A. I am home now and it has been a little over an hour. "They" say most horrible reactions occur within an hour, so I should be good. My arm is a little swollen and red and blotchy and I am just really hoping that it doesn't get much worse and then just goes away. Only time will tell. |

| my friend and i messed around with all the at-home remedies for bee stings and i healed about a week faster than ever! i think it was the vinegar and baking soda paste- it is known to suck the venom out. not bad. tonight was my last interval workout with the track club before i move to virginia. sad, sad day. i will surely miss these people, especially the one and only Micah Adriani. the heat index was only in the low 90s when we were running tonight... awesome!! 4x1200 4:49, 4:47, 4:41, 4:37 |
