HAPPY TWOSDAY!
It felt SO GOOD to get back to the gym to run. Besides the fact I forgot my phone at home this morning, so I had zero music/ entertainment throughout the school day. (I’m a senior. Some days we just don’t do much.)
…
A compliment I got today was from a fellow senior.
Him: “So what is thing running blog thing you are doing?”
…explain it to him…
Him: “If we had to place money on who would be the most successful in life out of this school, my money would be on you.”
I can’t even explain how accomplished I’ve felt all day after hearing that.

Tonight I went and applied for a job at our local Anytime Fitness. Probably the perfect job for me. After I applied, I went BACK to the high school to run for the second time today! It was a pretty solid run. Started out with some gnawing knee pain, but then it went away after the first mile. I helped resolve some prom issues (Juniors, for real. You need to go help with prom setup. It’s a lot of work and there is always something that needs to be done. Been there done that.) I also got to race Kennedy’s (one of my most favoritest people ever) little brother. I won… totally something to be proud of. Beating a younger kid.
Pictures from tonight:
My OOTD. BrooksRunning Run Happy Shirt and Pure Cadence Shoes, Nike Running Shorts, and PRO Compression Marathon Socks!
These PRO Compression socks remind of watermelon.. I like watermelon.
The “Running Track” I talk about when I run!
THAT’S MY FACE. 🙂

Now I want to chat about some really cool things happening here.
Ever heard of Charity Miles? Well, you should probably get on that. They have just currently added the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to their list of 20 different charities, and being a Team in Training Member, I am all over that charity!
– Charity Miles is a free iPhone/Android app that enables people to earn money for charity when they walk, run or bike.
– It’s easy to use, download the app from your phone’s app store, choose LLS and press start at the onset of any outdoor exercise.
– Bikers earn 10¢ per mile; walkers and runners earn 25¢ per mile
o The program uses your phone’s GPS to measure your distance
o The app will ask for your permission to use GPS
o The app does not work indoors
