My oh my it's been a long time! Unfortunately my second semester of senior year is not going exactly how I had pictured it (no homework, plenty of time to sleep and run) but I have been super busy lately!!! Anyway, I'm not going to bore you with listing out each day and how many miles I have run so I am just going to say the general statement of: "I have been running." Haha


Last time I posted I had not run 6 miles yet and slowly but surely I did run 6 miles and have started to run 6 miles more often!! The first time I ran twice around the 3mile loop at the Rose Bowl, I was struggling (understandably). However, it must have been my lucky day because as I was running the last stretch of my first lap (or 3rd mile) a nice gentleman said: "Don't give up! You can do it!" Needless to say, this helped motivate me more. On my 5th mile, I passed him again- except this time he responded with a "You go girl!" and a high five. That made my year. I felt like Forrest Gump.

Speaking of Forrest Gump, I thought I'd share a funny (and semi-inspirational) clip from the movie Forrest Gump, so here you go!
