ALSO

I love to start off my Wednesdays with a little motivation. 

Somehow got my butt out of bed for a 9:30 am run before my 12:00 art history lecture. It's a tough life, I know. I did my usual run. I want to name this run as I am really boring and do it practically every day. But it's pretty, flat, and and doesn't have any cars. Perhaps I will call it Rachel's super lazy 5 miler?? Sounds good to me. So far I've run twice this week. I took yesterday off because I raced Saturday, did a long run Sunday (because I'm crazy), and then did 5 miles on Monday. My thighs were screaming up the stairs to my apartment, so I took Tuesday off. Wednesdays I have no excuse because I have class from 12-6 so an AM run is mandatory. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a bit trickier because I have class from 9-5 and it gets dark SO EARLY here now. I have a gym in my apartment that I will obviously have to use when the weather gets worse but for now I'm avoiding it like the plague. When I'm outside I (usually) feel like I can go forever but the treadmill? Forget about it. I bargain with myself the whole way. First it's "just get to 20 mins," Then, "You can make it to 25." Then "Here comes half an hour." I usually quit after 30 mins, it's wimpy, I know.

After 5 hours of class, I came back and made a PIE! Apple, in case you wondering. Some of my friends and I are having pre Thanksgiving dinner. I'm in charge of pie and stuffing.
Friday I will be driving to Philadelphia to visit some friends, my aunt and uncle, and some friends and watch the Philly Marathon. Yes, I do think that watching people run is a good time. Also, it is a little known fact that Philly has an excellent race expo. Have I mentioned yet that I like running gear? Oh, you didn't know that about me? Well I FREAKING LOVE running gear. Okay.
