I Can't Believe It's Already July!

I can't believe it's been a whole month since I last posted. Time is going by so fast.

Since early June, a lot has happened, but in the extreme tightness of time I'm only going to attempt to recall a few, one being the move.

With a little over 2 months to go, my school decided to move me from my old apartment to a different, better, more comfortable one. The move itself was of course a big hassle, and it took me out of commission for a few days (especially since during the move I was in the middle of a minor-ish injury which packing and moving all of my stuff up 4 flights of stairs did not alleviate), but now I am a lot more comfortable, despite the fact that it is about half of the size of my old apartment. It is soo much more quiet here - I almost fell asleep unpacking my first night! It's wonderful.

The only 'downfall' is that I have to take a bus to school every morning. I actually love riding the bus, and it takes about the same amount of time to get to school in the morning as it did walking from my old apartment, but I do have to pay, but it is definitely worth it for me. I'm even within walking distance from PNU so I have much better access to great running routes and a track, which I am pumped about.

Other than the move, I've been enduring a minor injury which I could easily run through, but I am concerned that it will get worse and put me out for much longer. So I have been postponing the scheduled 10 x 800m track workout which I was supposed to do a week and a half ago. Coach wants me to try and hit 3:00 - 3:05 (he is thinking more towards the low end, and I am hoping, but I'd rather set a reachable goal and be pleasantly surprised at this point in my training). The last workout I did of 15 x 400m at 85s (that was the target and I hit an average of 84.2 which I was super excited about) was over 2 weeks ago and I am really eager to see how this one will turn out. I am hoping to hit it up tomorrow as long as my injury continues to subside well.

I bought my ticket to the States! August 31. So...that's exciting! I'm not sure exactly what is going to happen after I get back. There is a good chance I might have a job in Korea after I do Kona and my sister's wedding (!), but I'm not completely sure. I kind of like not knowing though. Everything will work out, I'm confident.

And with that, I have to get back to stretching and resting. All those of you who may be reading this from the States, hang in there with the rain! Maybe make the best of it by doing something fun like taking a shower outside (with a bathing suit on:) ). That would probably be really interesting!
