Half Aftermath

Okay, so I know after all that's said and done, the Brooklyn Half Marathon was over a week ago. Most bloggers are DONE talking about it (okay, except for Ted who was a little behind!) but I cannot stop thinking about it. I still cannot believe that I finished.

There is some part of me that wants to discredit this accomplishment, and turn it into something that's not mine. Like, for example "You can't be proud of this accomplishment because you only ran 6 miles and then you took the train home." NOT TRUE! Or, ""You can't be proud of this accomplishment because you walked parts of it" But that's not even valid. I ran 13.1 miles in under two and a half hours, and a year ago I was just getting my first pair of running sneakers and could barely run for 30 minutes. Running the BK Half was part of my New Years Resolution. This is how crazy this all is for me, and one week later I still cannot comprehend.

And on top of this all, I have the most amazing, supportive boyfriend, that manages to make me feel loved and motivated even when we are 894 miles away.

Yearly migration

I have been terrible at keeping a blog, haven't I? I guess with twitter, dailymile, and facebook there's rarely ever I time when I have a lot of (cohesive!) thoughts to write down at once.

I can't believe I'm going to type this out, but I am actually looking forward to flying down south for the 4th of July. Normally flying instills a type of sweaty trepidation in me, but for some reason, I'm actually really excited. It's been a year since I've been down to visit Ken's family, and I'm just looking forward to a relaxing VACATION. And I will not be in NYC for a few days! Yay! Get out of the city! We don't really have anything major planned. May go shooting at the gun range, may go bowling, heck, I may even TRY to sneak in a run :) And if we're even feeling monetarily inclined, might even get another tattoo!

Seriously, I'm excited to see my guy, and get away. I need a vacation!
