Last day for a while!  Yes!  I am really proud of myself.  I haven't been this motivated to run since I started training for the Color Run, and even then I didn't push myself that much to finish some of the sets.  So far, this blog is doing exactly what I hoped it would.

 

I honestly get so excited to blog after running.  It makes me feel good knowing there is someplace where I can log my progress.  Sure, I could journal, but there are pictures I want to post and what's the point of logging progress if I can't share it with people?

 

Next week I start running for four minutes and walking for one minute.  This week has been all about running two and walking one.  It will be a challenge, but I've done it before and I know I can do it again.

 

I am excited for my rest days, though.  I have to catch up on homework and work on my final projects for my English classes.  They all end next Wednesday.  That's a little weird, but I'm kind of looking forward to it.  I want my classes to end because I'm so tired of doing all this work, but I love the people in my classes and my professors are fantastic.  I wish we could keep hanging out but without all reading and work.

 

This weekend I am going to apply to some jobs in Boise.  I have this app called Job Alert and I can look at jobs in Boise.  I had narrowed the search down to places in my area of expertise, but I realized that I should not be so picky and go for whatever comes along.  I think I found about eleven that I plan on applying for this weekend.  I hope I find something.  There's this job offer in Lewiston that seems really great, and I think I'm going to apply for it.  I just don't want to stay up here for another year.  I will have friends, but I miss my family and the Boise area.  Plus, we got a new dog that I just want to play with all the time.  Boise is my home and I'm itching to get out of Lewiston.

 

I know if I pray about it, everything will turn out the way it's supposed to.  My selfish heart wants to be in Boise, but I know that whatever God wants I should listen.

 

Here we go.
