I’m currently in orlando. i’ve been here already for 3 days. im bored, and I’m now alone. Anyway, on sunday i will be running the disney marathon. 26.2 again!
I’m excited! i guess. I should be. anyway. this is all I really have to say tonight it is almost 12:30 therefore I’m tired and need some sleep. Good night. Oh Yeah and if you ever come to orlando stay in the double tree hotel. It is really freakin’ nice.
Well, well. Today I was just thinking to myself and realized that I haven’t blogged in so dang long!
Life has been throwing a serious of fireballs my way and I haven’t almost forgotten about how to relieve stress through the internet.
Actually, I just got through reading my brothers blogs (i say he is more faithful at it than me) and I just figured that since he doesn’t call or email anymore then I should try reading about his life on his website. Maybe just maybe I’ll miss him a tad bit less.
Anyway, last night I went to see Miranda Lambert in concert! WO!!!! It was great. I’ve never seen a concert where I knew every word to every song until last night. I felt crazy! and drunk (oh yeah I was).
Here lately I’ve been doing everything AMY wants to do. Living alone… supporting only myself… and worrying about no one but me. Honestly sometimes it sucks, but for the most part it feels REALLY GOOD!
In fact this morning I actually got up early and went grocery shopping and then cooked myself a HUGE breakfast! Tomato gravy and biscuits, bacon and eggs, and made myself a pledge that I would do this same thing every sunday morning. I also spent about 2 overdue hours on the phone with my grandmother… who for some reason I am starting to miss more than anyone else in my dull life.
I promised her that I would do this every sunday. Maybe I’m just getting old and am beginning to find that life is tooooo short. I really don’t need to miss a single chance to speak to my family anymore- no matter how busy I am I need to make more time! After all there is nothing like family!
I also need to make a trip home soon I think it has been a few years since I’ve really been HOME, SWEET HOME ALABAMA! I need to stay a few days.
Take a nap on my granny’s front porch swing, smell some honeysuckles, ride a dirt road, listen to my grandfather play some hank williams, throw beer bottles at the road signs, go skinny dipping in a creek, laugh with my life long best friend, hug my mom, sing with my dad, play ball with my brother, paint my sisters fingernails, really get into a saturday football game with my papa, play UNO ALL NIGHT LONG (man i miss that), ride fourwheelers, pick some pecans, go fishing (even though i hate it), get lost in the woods, climb a tree, just anything country will do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just need it! I guess I’m really homesick but unlike most it has taken me a good 3 years to get here!
so… i’m going to run now, but i’ll try to keep blogging maybe you’ll read this JUSTIN!!!!
I am so thrilled right now!!!!
Tomorrow I leave for Virginia Beach to run my rockn’ roll half marathon. Sunday is the big day!
Of course, I haven’t ran much this week because I am reserving my energy but I can’t wait to hit the course. 14 bands along 13.2 miles! what else could you ask for right?
Anyway, when I get back home I will be starting my training for Disney World Marathon which is January 13, 2008. I’m excited to know that I really want to run a 4 hr. marathon and I have tons of training to do.
To start with I’m going to be doing lots of speed work. I feel a little unconfident about this training because I have set my goal so high for myself, but what is that saying?
“Shoot for the moon, at least you will land amongst the stars!”
I have gotten really into my running again. I can literally feel the pounds melting from my body and is so wonderful to feel this good again!!!
I will be starting to post messages on the runner’s lounge soon. My life is going to be hectic for the next month though. I leave for Oklahoma on september the 9th and I don’t think I’m going to have much internet access.
The other day I found a wonderful park to run at. I meet up with Dan from work and we ran in buckhead. I think seeing other people being active encouraged me more than ever. Plus Dan is a beginner at running so I felt determined to share the joy of running with him.
So………….. thats it guys. Got a long day tomorrow and I’m fixing to settle down with some hot tea and a few lessons on PR 16 lasers. Fun uh? Lots of love to all you runners out there!
Well, I guess the past two weeks have been both exciting yet overwhelming for the unorganized me.
I just recently took a job with a company called Hilti. For those of you who are not familar with hilti- I now sell power tools. In general that sums it all up. Although, I don’t actually sell the tools yet because I am still in training.
I have spent the last 7 nights of my life learning about construction. I have no background whatsoever in this particular field, but I am determined to learn as much as possible since I’m getting paid to learn. It is quite funny. One day you are paying to learn the next your getting paid to learn.
Anyway, I feel a bit overwhelmed because it is so much. Tonight I studied plumbing. More or less pipe installation. i really can’t tell you exactly how much I learned because I can hardly focus any longer. I feel so much like a lost puppy right now. No worries though. Learning comes with time.
My Life? Well that is actually going pretty well. I have come to terms with this crazy saying “Well, that is life”. I guess once you decide to accept it then everything tends to fall into place.
I’ve been running alot due to my Rockn’ Roll half marathon coming up on Labor Day weekend. I will be spending some time in Virginia Beach, VA for this wonderful half marathon, and will be enjoying 14 bands along the 13.2 miles. The best part of all is that I will be running close to the beach so hopefully I’ll catch a grand breeze.
Tonight I ran only 4 miles, but I did some insane speed work. I figure if I’m gonna keep running I need to start speeding it up a bit. I ran 7 Hills about 4 times at full speed. Immaculate hills at that! Anyway, I was surprised to feel my legs losening up a little, here lately they have become so stiff.
I have also signed up for the Disney World Marathon that will be on January 13, 2008. I will be spending some time with friends who are traveling to Orlando to watch me. I can’t wait!
So what else? Oh yeah I got my hair cut like super short! I love it. The idea was to get it like Katie Holmes new haircut, and honestly it is pretty dang close. Now I just need to dye it really dark. I’m a little afraid of that change since everyone thinks Im goth already.
I just happen to adore the color black here lately. I don’t know why it is just something I’ve grown into. In fact I tried on a pink shirt today and almost pucked it was waaaay to bright for me. Dark colors suit me best.
See even for my new job my wardrobe has changed to all black slacks and red tops. Red? its okay I don’t mind it, but I’m loving the black.
Well, anyway I will be traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma on Sept. 9 for an entire month for BTS Training for work. So I won’t be blogging for awhile. Anyway time to sleep, I’m really tired after everything today. A movie on the couch, some crystal light, and like always I never make it past the first half and I’m out like a light. Well, Goodnight.
Well I haven’t blogged in such a long time I figured… Hey why not type about my feelings. Well, I guess my life started changing a year and half ago. I can’t really explain what happened but something deep inside me changed.
I have constantly been pondering myself for all the answers. I pray and I cry and I scream, and I do everything that I feel is the right the thing to do, and nothing seems to work for me. I have honestly been completely miserable for about 2 years.
People tell me that time heals all pain, but I feel that there are some things that time cannot replace. It is time for me to lay all this crap down and move on with my life. Whatever that means.
Tomorrow I have plans to quit smoking - number one goal. Next I have to get a serious workout. I have exactly about 3 weeks to break from school, so I am picking up some random vending jobs- because I need more money. I’m trying to save up for my next big move.
I have a few different options at where my life could go from here, but no diffinite plans so far. I could either move back to auburn where my mom and little brother and sister could move in with me so I can help them all out. I could move to Foley, AL, Savannah, GA, or last but diffenently not least I could move to California. All of these options are up for grabs. Oh I forgot one. I could move to Jacksonville, FL where my freinds live, but then I’d always be the third will. Anyway, my love life sucks, but that is alright with me. I know GOD has got a wild card up his sleeve, and I hope I play my hand well.
I’m thinking at this point that I sould just move to California, and be done with everyone here, but at some point I’ve got to quit running away. I need to stand face to face with the devil, and conquer what I can and let God conquer what I can’t handle.
Sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed that I swear I’m going to have an emotional break down, but I know the bible tells me that God will not put anything on me that I can’t handle. Well, I need to go to bed no one reads all this crap anyway. If you do you must be really bored or gay. kidding. Good night whomever slips upon this crazy blog.
