It's a Tall Order...

Logging a big fat ZERO miles last week explains much of my misery.

But no more.

It's a tall order, but I'm back on track and ran my scheduled 5-miler today at an easy 9:30 pace. It was overcast, cool and drizzly and it felt so good to let my mind wander and sweat away the day to day anxieties of a young woman unable to stay zen about Financial Mathematics. Seriously, what the eff am I doing?

Worried about jobs, staying sane for Anna, and possibly more school, it is imperative that I get those miles in. It's amazing how an investment of less than 60 minutes can yield such calm...hell, things don't seem so hectic right now. *sip coffee*

And you know what else I did? Pilates (pronounced PIE-LATES in my world ;). And that felt great too. I think this is the greatest fitness video (right).

Hangin' in there until October 13th.

Until I complete three midterms.

And vacation for 4 WHOLE DAYS!!! Thanks for the fall break UofM!! You're the greatest school EVER.

GO BLUE!

That's a good pace for a 5-miler, esp. when you haven't been running for awhile. Hang in there with all the conflicting demands on your time. Running helps you manage the craziness around you.

While I know nothing of the science of running, I am saying hello! I hope you enjoy your 4 day weekend. My brother just came home today for UM, although, while they live at the top of the hill, I have not seen him. haha.

Hello Mia, I think I found your blog through Peter's blog. I'm in Michigan myself (GR), so that got my attention. Just like to connect with others around the state. And we have a marathon/half on Oct. 28 if you're so inclined.
