What I hate about running... LOL

So the biggest thing I hate about running is.....

ROADKILL!!!!!

I ran past two things of roadkill on my 4 mile run this morning (YAY for getting up before work and going though, that rarely happens!) and it's SO gross!!! I hate it. I never see it until it's right in front of me and then all the flies that are on it fly up in my face and I want to puke!!

Just wanted to rant about that for a second.... haha. Hope everyone's having a good morning!

On a plus... other than that, it was a pretty good run! I got to use my new ipod and it worked great, I love it! I did a pretty good pace, I think I did 4 miles in under 42 minutes, which is great for me! I was excited. Then at work I went next door to get coffee because they have dunkin donuts coffee for 50 cents if you go before 9:30 and I made it just in time AND they had hazelnut flavored coffee which I LOVE!

So other than the road kill... good morning! :D

NASPA, Disney, Career Fair, OH MY!

LOTS has been going on, as usual!

I went to the the NASPA Florida Drive-In the week before last in Tampa at University of South Florida! I co-presented on the SGA Summer Leadership Series I developed and implemented with my internship supervisor. It was a great experience, but our session was last so some people had already headed out to beat the traffic so we didn't have a huge group by any means.

After that we got to go to Orlando for the weekend and I went to Disney World for a day! I went with two people who had never gone before and they wanted to do all 4 parks... it was a fun but exhausting day!!! My feet have never hurt so bad! I was limping for days. haha! Here is a pic of us at the Magic Kingdom! They are fellow graduate students in the College Student Personnel Administration program (CSPA).

Last week my office had our Career Fair we have every semester... only this one was a little interesting in that the campus when into LOCKDOWN right in the middle of it!!! There was a murderer who went into hiding in the woods on our campus and they locked down all the buildings and their were k9 units, helicopters, etc. looking for this guy. It was crazy! None of the employers could leave which they weren't too thrilled about, and no students could enter at that point because all the buildings were locked. It was nuts!! They finally found the guy though, so that was a relief.

Other updates... training has been going BAD. I got all out of wack with the NASPA trip and then Princess decided to EAT my ipod!! ugh!

Well after whining about it all week, David surprised me with a new hot pink ipod nano!! He also got me a new nike + system which syncs with the ipod and tells you how many miles you have gone, your pace, etc. I think this will be a good motivation for me to get back into the swing of things! I went for a decent 4 mile run last night... I'm sore this morning. David was behind me on his bike yelling at me to "push it! keep it up!" lol.

Also, we recently got a new couch! Here are some. We love it, it's so comfy! Someone else in the family loves it too. ;)

Lastly, I wanted to give a shout out to David who has really started developing his love for cooking! lol. He's always liked to cook (and I've basically always HATED it haha) so he's really started to take over, and we're both loving it! I included a picture of stuffed portobello mushrooms he made with prawns, and yesterday he made eggplant which was yummy! Last week was mexican pork chops which was awesome! I'm so glad one of us likes to cook and is good at it!!! haha.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. I'm getting SO excited for November in which I'm taking a long weekend trip to DC with my best friends! :) Lu lives there so Melissa and I (they were both bridesmaids at my wedding) are flying up to visit, and we are so excited!
