first post

we had to create blogs for our elementary education classes so i have been into exploring blogs lately...for some weird reason. i used to post a lot on livejournal, but this seems a lot easier. i know no one will follow my blog unless i tell them about it, but we'll see if i do. right now this is mainly for me trying to organize thoughts and ideas and just have a place to come and write. i sometimes read some health food blogs which i guess inspired me in a way, but i think it'd be cool to see how long i can keep this going and see how much things change over time and what stays the same.

i have a 4 mile obstacle course called the "Mud Run" in colombia next weekend. it's a family (and boyfriend/guy friends) affair and i'm really excited. i've been trying to keep up with some workouts, but i don't know how this running will go. i really want to get into running and do some races in charlotte when i move back home after i graduate. and running is good for you. i like the gym way better than running, but i want to learn to love it.

i have been sick for the past few days, so i have been kind of out of the schedule for getting my runs in to train for my upcoming race. on top of losing my voice along with hacking up a lung, yesterday i had the pleasure of breaking out in hives.

obviously i have had a very itchy day. i took some benadryl before watching the UNC football game with some friends and that definitely helped. it also definitely made me the drowsiest i have been in forever. such a weird feeling.

well i guess that concludes my memorable first post. off to get ready and hang out with some friends for the evening!
