I was watching “She’s outta my league” and this Sara Bareilles song came on….”There’s too many sunsets I haven’t seen….there’s too many things I haven’t done yet…but how far do I have to go to get to you…Many the miles…”

Received more Chile information today. Have to write a letter to my host family describing my family, hobbies, interests, etc. In Spanish. Found out the visa fee is waived. Saves me approximately $500. Much paperwork still left to do. Going through old boxes today I found all my college Spanish vocab note cards and a textbook…perfect timing to start refreshing my mind!
Training day of 10 miles. Time of 1 hour and 37 minutes. And yes I coaxed myself at about mile 8 to just keep running and not stop! Beautiful run day…60 degrees. Soaking up that sun in shorts and t-shirt before the snow falls! Thought about all the Spanish words I could say, rocked out to some good jams, contemplated the next few weeks…so many thoughts running through my head…

There’s something that makes me feel sexy about drinking an ice-cold beer in a hot shower. Needed the house to myself after a fun-filled, laughter highlighted weekend with my mom and sisters. Sunset run once we got home. Yum. Leftover enchilada and beer. Soundtrack of the Weeked and mumble of the t.v. in the background. Gotta fill up the quiet house with a bit of background noise to accompany my thoughts. I was thinking in the shower…and maybe this sounds a bit Sex and the City episod(ish)…but I wonder if people think they’re sexy alone? Like do we really have to have a guy or (a girl) around to make us feel sexy? Do we do “sexy” things for ourselves? I hope you do. 🙂
In reflection of Thanksgiving I’m thankful for…

oh wow…it’s been a while since I have made a post…
Ran 17 miles the other day amazing feeling… Farthest I’ve ever run. Jammed out and just focused. Ran on the Rock Island Trail through Lincoln… Pretty peaceful trail. The last few days I spent at a good friend’s house with her and her husband. Their house is so homey, and it was wonderful just to help around the house, paint, make morning coffee, workout, bake, make dinner, and just hang out. One night three of us girls to got dinner and nice drinks and a second night played Scattergories. Another best friend of mine that I hadn’t seen it over a year came over for dinner one night. It was so good to have both friends together. Yesterday I spent the night at Grandma’s; my cousin came over to bake cookies all afternoon!
