Graduation day...

Mom and I

WHEW! What a crazy week (as you can see!). Graduation was amazing - it was a gorgeous day, my family was there...everything was faaaabulous! Scott and I left for Vegas at 3:30 the next morning...no explanation needed...it was all it's cracked up to be. We ate some seriously delicious food, lost a lot of money, had our share of passion fruit mojitos, saw some great shows and (as you can see) saw Mexican Elvis (Scott was ready to go home after that, he saw all he needed to see!). Now I need a vacation from vacation! :)

I was a bad girl and didn't run OR workout while away. The only workout I got was walking up and down the buffet line haha...just kidding (sort of...). I decided to enjoy myself and relax (which means no physical activity what-so-ever), besides we weren't covering miles I couldn't already do.

On Saturday we had our team run, 4 miles. Surprisingly, I felt great and was excited to sweat a little. It turned out to be my best run yet! No aches or pains. Everyone was surprised I did so well considering my lack of activity while away.

The one thing I have learned so far is that running is 100% mental (for me at least). My body is capable of A LOT - more than I give it credit for. The days I find myself giving up, are the days my mind is everywhere it shouldn't be. Saturday was the first day I was 100% in. Even when I was at the bottom of the massive hill on North Street, I was excited (who gets excited about hills?! I know. I'm a dork!) to reach the top, even if that meant fighting off the "I'm gonna pass out feeling". Speaking of that feeling, I get it a lot. I usually talk myself out of it, switch up my breathing with hopes I don't wake up face down on the asphalt. So far it's worked and my face is still intact.

That's all for today...'til next week!
