pay off my undergraduate student loans (read all 2 entries…)
down to

$2500 or so. Interest is ridiculous. Also still waiting to see if we got the contract for next year, i.e. if I still have a job come June.



run a marathon
Let me tell you

I was never a runner. My family is full of runners, and I tried, since I was in middle school, to become one as well. I just never got any better at it. Last year in April I ran the first 5k I ever did without walking. I ran it in 27:27 and I was sooooo happy. Since then, I’ve developed new strategies – mostly mental strategies and the whole barefoot thing (see barefoot 5k goal) – and I’ve finally become a runner. I am now running my 5k races in the lower part of 23 minutes, and I have officially signed up for a marathon!! Training got underway immediately, and I am up to 15 miles in my training runs! I never thought I could do this. It feels incredible already. Race day is September 8th. Plenty of updates to follow!
