Summer Bucket List cont.

Before I forget! I've completed two things on my list! HOORAY! Bonnaroo (amazing, hot, sweaty, amazing) and the Belmar 5 Mile (same). I'm planning a trip to Block Island in August. It's my heaven on earth. It's what keeps me sane. MMMMM Fresh Water Pond is my religion. MMMM.

more to the list:
Parker House 5k (more races)
Hiking (did a little of the appaliachian trail earlier this summer)
Sublime & more shows
Barefoot dance party on the beach

thats all for now. let's see how far i get on this list.

How's Your Training Regime? Nonexistent.

I think I want to run more races.

I ran the Belmar 5 Mile run last Saturday (July 10th) with my friend Jamie. We stuck together the entire time and I'm pretty sure she wanted to kill me because I had to stop and ask some random person to use their bathroom. They let me. Anyway, we did it in an hour, which I think is pretty awesome because we didn't train (though we ate carbs the night before...). Anyway, I really loved the way I felt afterwards. I guess it was all the endorphins or the fact that I got to stand underneath a stream of water shooting out of a fire truck in the middle of Ocean Ave. Either way, I felt really good about myself and accomplished for the first time in a long time. SO, I have decided to run the Parker House 5k next Saturday (what sold me was that I get an hour of FREE BEER after). Am I chasing a high? Maybe. Don't get me wrong, I'm training for a marathon or anything that amazing. I don't even really run on my free time either. But, I like these little races because I can feel alive after. I'm a sweaty miserable mess while I'm running, but, once I sprint past that finish line and get my heart to slow down I feel AMAZING. There's really no other way to put it.

Ok, so on another subject, I need to figure out what to do with my life. I'm very aware that I can't nanny for the rest of my life. I'll be taking suggestions here. Thanks.
