today was the first day of half-marathon training. three months from now i will hopefully be on my way to run 13.1 miles! thats crazy. mondays are the easy days, i was supposed to do strength and stretch. i stretched during laguna beach and went to lift some weights at the rec. i dont like the weight room there anymore. lately i have just been going there to use the treadmill and to do abs. i did the lovely stairstepper for about 10 minutes and then lifted. that was the lightest workout i have had lately. it seems so easy compared to running three miles without walking. i dont feel like i have worked out hard if my hair isnt drenched. im really excited about running tomorrow for some reason, i guess because its the first time to run for the actual training. im running a path that i havent run since freshmen year in my running class. we will see how it goes.

i took before pictures last month. i am going to take after pictures after the race is over. i really hope that there is a big difference. smaller butt and thighs would be a good thing. i hope i dont have to run a lot during finals, that would really suck.

past my bedtime. 1:30am. its easy to get up for class if i stick to my bedtime.
