There is no better feeling than taking a cold shower after a run.

So, last night I saw the movie Something Borrowed. I have been wanting to see it FOREVER because 1. I read the book and liked it, 2. I saw the preview and thought it seemed great, and most importantly 3. I love John Krasinski. So anyways, finally the day came that I saw it. People have been criticizing the movie, so I wanted to see why they were complaining too. Maybe some will think I'm a bad person, but I LOVED this movie. Obviously, it won't win Oscars, but I consider myself very knowledgeable in the chick flick movie area (having seen most), and it was the best I've seen in a while! Basically, people don't like that the main character betrayed her best friend, and that in the end, she picked the guy over her best friend. Well, guess what, her best friend was rude and selfish and treated her terribly, so I would say her best friend betrayed her every single day by not really caring about her. Anyways, if you haven't seen it, I recommend it! Read the book too, and others by Emily Giffin if you like fun reads.

National running day

Ran one mile today....but it was the first mile I have run in 2 months. What a weird feeling, it was actually difficult to run at a pace that used to be easy for me. It's going to be hard not to rush back into running (especially when no one in my family take the stress fracture seriously), but I know I'll only get injured again if I do. In the meantime, I'll focus on getting back into shape. Happy running!!

can't wait

The stress fracture has taken over my life for the past 2 months. Tomorrow I go back to running and working out. It is one of the greatest things in my life and I've been going crazy without it. To say it keeps me grounded is an understatement. I cannot wait to go back and feel that rush again.

someday we'll know

90 miles outside chicago
can't stop driving, I don't know why
so many questions, I need an answer
2 years later and you're still on my mind

whatever happened to amelia earhart?
who holds the stars up in the sky?
is true love just once in a lifetime?
did the captain of the titanic cry?

Lights

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
And I think back to when my brother and sister slept
In an unlocked place the only time I feel safe

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone

Done

Sometimes I feel like it's already over
