It's Tomorrow!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

13.1 miles!!!! 

I realize this is not completely outrageous, yet I'm pretty darn excited that it'll be over in about 12.5 hours hahaha. Then I can go drink a slurpee. I've been on a no-sugar diet this week (except for the M&Ms in my trail mix today), and I hope that helps me tomorrow morning as I run. The slurpee will make it all worth it tomorrow!!!

Allergies attacked me this week also, after moving back to Fresno (go figure), so my running was not so good the few times I went. I'm basically scared for this run! I know I can do it...but it might not be as good as I was originally hoping when I signed up for this thing haha.

My goal at this point is a 10min/mile pace, bringing me in to finish about 2:10. I will be soooo happy if that happens. Because I'm not a fast runner :) My other goal is to just not be last hahaha. 

My strategy tonight to pump myself up was to watch a big triathlon race in Alabama...even the commercials got me excited to race tomorrow!! I will never be as hardcore as these intense competitors, I'm doing this just for fun and excitement tomorrow. It will be a cool thing to say I did though!

Hahaha.

Good luck to everyone running tomorrow! Race or not :)

Fresno

I'm home for the summer and I'm sure it'll be an interesting one!

It was pretty great to see a lot of friends at church yesterday on Easter.

Now I have to unpack. I ripped everything apart today to try and find my running shorts, only to find them 20 minutes later in the laundry room. I guess they were in my dirty clothes bag and I forgot...now my clothes are EVERYWHERE in my room. Goals tomorrow: unpack/organize/dye hair. Yeah, that last one is a random one. I might now do it though, I'm not sure yet. :)

P.S. - watch these videos and laugh.

Dear Finals,

Dear Finals,


I am going to kick your butt.


Love, Kristi

:) Hahaha well, that's what I hope at least!

I have spent some time lately making sure my entire Jerusalem journal is typed...I had most of it typed but on long field trips and at church and such I would write stuff down. Well, I have it all compiled. I printed it last night. It is 87 PAGES!! Single-spaced! Holy cow, I just wrote a book haha. I printed it double-sided and I'm going to get it spiral bound so I can keep it FOR-E-VER. Yay :)

I've been home for 4 months already. Wow.

And I still miss it.

Life is pretty darn good about now, besides the finals. There's always setbacks. I've just decided that I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself (even if it's just once in awhile) because it really does ruin the rest of the good times! So while there's been some interesting and difficult things happen the past several months of my life, I'm getting over it and doing good right now!

There are so many good things that happen. Even if it's just tiny little things, it makes life SO GOOD.

For example, a week ago my sister Janine told me something very exciting:
Text from Janine: The best ice cream bars in the world have finally made it to the states :)
My response: MAGNUM BARS?
Janine: Yup!
Janine calling me a couple minutes later: I'm so happy you knew what I was talking about before I said what they were!

Other great things: my roommate prophesying the name and life of my future husband. Haha...Jeffery, I cannot wait to meet you!

Yep, things like this bring great joy. Especially when I know that I get to eat a Magnum Bar at some point in my near future. Like when I go to San Diego to visit Janine, we can eat delicious Magnum Bars together, ON THE BEACH, and be so so so so happy :) :) :) Hahaha joy! Yay foreign countries that produce the best ice cream bars in the world. And yay America for finally getting them here.

Until then...I start finals in 2 days, finish finals in 5 days (hopefully), move out in 8 days, be back in Fresno in 10 days. That countdown got really small really fast. I'm pretty excited for it.

This is going to be my attitude when finals start in one week from today, and I'll be studying my brains out! :)


I'm going to think I'm happy, say I'm happy, and then be happy when I ROCK my tests! Thank you Gandhi.


At least, that's the plan...hahaha we'll see if reality meets with that goal...


I'm glad the semester is almost over. I'm Vegas-bound in 2 weeks, then Fresno-bound in 2 weeks and a day...woah that came rather fast!


CAN YOU SAY SUMMER????? IT'S ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
