so i'm not sure how this week could have been more eventful...ok i can i guess but for me this was a busy one...
classes started on tuesday...i am taking Chem 301, Nutrition 311 and 111L...so far classes are going well...i was freaked out on my first day of Chem thinking to my self man i don't know any of this stuff...then remembering that i am a student and i am not supposed to know any of it yet...i am supposed to be learning it...i can do that...my old study skills started to come back right away...and that is a very good thing...i could actually answer some questions in my nutrition class thanks to my recent training and christmas gift from j (sports nutrition book) and that felt good...lab starts this coming wednesday so nothing to report there...
had a great afternoon and evening with amy and co. cooking up a storm and having a nice dinner party friday night...cooked a salmon dish with fennel, apples and rosted potatoes...i thought it was really great and will totally be using lots of fennel in the future...i always thought that it was more anise flavored than it actually was...had some tasty ginger lemon cupcakes...i am a sucker for ginger and cupcakes....mmmm ginger cupcakes...
up not so early saturday for a short run and a viewing of IMFL in support of Jeremiah and the mass start gulf swim....mantra from amy: i am a strong and confident swimmer....it is totally getting used...nice farm share pick up in the afternoon....then time to hit the books...working on the perodic table and some of those ions and polyatomic ions...yeah it _is_ starting to come back...nice mellow pasta/sauce dinner...and now there is today
the run started at 6am...so i was up at 4.30...coffee....protein (sort of) shake...vitamins...check bag...change to tights (it was 26! that is _not_ a temp in TX...i will be dreaming of it come mid august)...and out the door at 5.30...run-tex by 5.45...out on the run at 6.00...started out on the run with Jeremiah and Keith? (why am i still not sure if i get his name right) and thought while warming up along the trail...hmm these guys are going to leave me in the dust i hope one of my buddies shows up (pace buddies that is)...and sure enough here comes Ed and Vishal...that was a relief...it is not a great prospect to know that you have 22 mile of running to do and you might end up alone...but yeah! for my boys...the whole run was on the marathon course...and that was nice...j drove me on it last sunday so i was familiar with it in car it was nice to be the same on foot...had a tough time getting into a rhythm...i blame the cold...but it turn out to be a great run...we were able to "close the deal" from duval to the end...i really picked it up across the first street bridge and felt amazing getting it done...good, hilarious (thanks Chuck) soak in barton springs...holy cow i just ran 22 miles !!!
now after a massive clean i am ready to hit the books again, roast a chicken and watch some bad movies on netflix...hopefully in bed really early and sleeping really late tomorrow :) woo !

glad I could add a little humor to the soak. nothing better than soaking and laughing...well maybe a few things. lol.
Congrats on the run today. It rocked. I felt great pretty much the whole run. Was awesome to be on the marathon course. I really feel like we are well trained. That showed today, as it seemed everyone had a good run. Hoping we all have a great marathon day.
See ya Wednesday.
