I'm pumped!

This is going to be very much NON school related, but I'll throw a little in just so you think I'm still actually taking classes. :)

Yesterday was the Ottawa marathon/half marathon etc... Carley, Alex, Diana and Julia's friend Meghan were all racing. The marathon started at 9PM our time and the half started 2 hours later. I was up, following online Carley and Meghan from start to finish. The website gave us their 10k, 21.1k, 30k and finishing splits and it was exciting to see them go. BOTH girls KILLLLLLED the race, Carley in 3:20:xx and Meghan in 3:28:xx, both qualifying for Boston easily (women's 18 - 35 is 3:40). One thing I won't soon forget is when I asked Carley if she intends to go to Boston, her reply was "I'LL GO IF YOU GO, SO HURRY UP AND QUALIFY ALREADY!". WOW! That is motivation my friend! So I'm pumped now to do EVERYTHING possible to qualify. I know that if I do everything right I can get tht 3:10 I need, not easy, but confidently.

This morning I hit the weights at 7:45AM before WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A 9:30AM tutorial. I had an AMAZING arm workout and feel drained from it. I feel like I'm getting fitter and fitter and I just need to stay focused with nutrition and really put the time into it.

Julia is SUPER motivated now too to run her marathon and in the next couple of years to qualify for Boston herself.

Right now I'm sitting in class and they're talking about next term's schedule and such. We got new tutorial groups and I'm really excited with mine. I have Lee (the one housemate I like), Chris who does crossfit and is a nice guy, an Aussie named David who runs, and Michelle Majovsky who also runs and is a really nice girl. COOOOOOOOOOL! After this I'm gonna go home and work on Science and some English KLA presentation stuff.

That's it folks!
