I'm doing 35 things
Another 3 miles, blisters popped again just as my lungs and legs were hitting a rhythm. But overall it was an okay run. Forced myself to keep up a 10 minute mile pace because my feet hurt just as bad no matter how fast I ran, and the faster I went the sooner my socks and shoes could come off!

How I did it
It made me
Accomplished 
How I did it: Had this marked as done a while back because the apron itself was done. But now I can wear it because I finally put the buttons on!I originally took a class to start this. We had a vintage apron that I made a pattern from to sew my own. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: I ended up giving this to one of the Egman's coworkers because his daughter has Celiac's. I figured they probably needed it more than I did, and could save $4 or so, and I could get the bag out of my fridge without feeling guilty about throwing it away. Read how I did it…
It made me
financially comfy
How I did it: Saved where I could, put money into savings ASAP rather than letting it sit around in my checking account just begging to be spent. We eat a lot of meals together, and get free meals on campus whenever possible. Have been trying to eat out less, but that's broken down a little in the past few weeks. We still haven't been to McDonald's though!It really helped that I got the money for tuition back in January, or I'd be still saving up right now. Read how I did it…

A sockless, late 2 miles. Went to vote in the special election, so I didn’t get to the gym until late, then realized I’d forgotten my socks. So I put 2 in before I felt the blisters form and pop, then called it quits and did some stretching before going home to wash up and put peroxide on the open skin.
There are socks in my bag today. I made sure of it.
Really trying to hit the halfway point this week. The run was lovely, except that I had the hiccups for the first mile! Owie!
But one of the ladies at the gym showed me how to get the closed captioning on the TVs! I actually know what they’re saying on the news now!
