Today, a great friend of mine ran her first marathon in San Antonio. Not only was I extremely proud of her, but watching others cross the finish line in the full and half marathon was very inspirational. I still don't intend to ever run a marathon, but I hope to be friends with other marathoners because it's a great thing to see a friend or even a stranger cross the finish line. No matter how tired or uncomfortable or in pain, you can tell how proud someone is to have just done that. It's really cool to see. If you've never seen a marathon, I highly recommend hanging out near the finish line for a while. It reminds you of the strength we have as human beings.
In relation to that, I need to be strong this week. I've got a lot of things on my plate and I'm certainly staying busy. With a full week ahead of me and the pace only picking up after Thanksgiving (Can't wait!) I really need to hunker down and do my work. I also have to remember that although I can stop and have some water at the halfway point of this busy time, I've still got another 13.1 miles, figuratively speaking. But of course, I will also make time for things that keep me sane.
In other news, the Cowboys won today! We'll see if they can do it again this season. At this point, I'm banking on a loss and enjoying the pleasant surprise if we do win. Aim low, and you won't be disappointed, right?
Even more exciting news, my roommate got engaged on Thursday night and we now have a cat in the apartment! She's adorable and her name is Tasi! What's more, my brother and Kristina got married Friday! I'm so happy and so excited for them. They leave Tuesday so Kristina can meet Kevin's (Ryan's biological father) family. They'll love her. I know I do!
Well, I've got two more hours at work and I better get back to it and finish up my homework for tomorrow. My goal this week is to wake up every morning with the homework for the day completed. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Until next time.
