13.1

Ran 13.1 miles today.  It was the best I've ever felt running that distance.  I also set a new half marathon PR.  I really built some much needed confidence today.

Bike ordered

Just ordered my bike today.  It will probably be a least two weeks before I get it.  My mom always tells my brother and I that delayed gratification is good for us.  I much prefer instant gratification.

I ended up getting a different Bike, so here's the new picture:

I'm going for a 15 mile run today.  I'm excited but also a little nervous because the most I've ever done is 13.  Only one month until the Cowtown marathon...

The bike

Here's the bike that will carry me across the nation.  I can't wait to get it.  I get to order it sometime this week.  Not sure how long it will take to have it shipped to me.  I'm gonna have to learn how to ride a bike with cycling shoes that clip in.  I'm looking forward to that challenge...

And so it begins

I just got off the wait list this week for the Providence to Seattle trip.  I'm so excited for the trip and relieved that it's official.  I'm already looking forward to the trip and I have to keep reminding myself to enjoy my final semester of college.  Ok so I'm exaggerating...it hasn't been that hard to enjoy the last semester.

I'm actually pretty excited about having a blog for this trip.  I'm not going to have much access to a computer during the trip, but I think I can text in short blog posts from my phone so I'll try to do that.
