2013 in review & 2014 Events!
January: um, nothing i can really think of. i walked a mile for race epic. i cried. i slipped on ice and fell. it sucked. not really sure when we got together, but several times this year i got together with the lovely lincoln tumblrs: holli, victoria, and melissa.
February: i didn't want to, but i made myself do the Trek up the Tower in Omaha. my time in 2012 was 10.26. this year: 24 or something minutes. it fucking sucked. i turned 31.
March: i flew down to tennesse for spring break. jordan was sweet enough to meet me at the airport in minneapolis during my layover. i stayed with yvonne and finally got to meet stacey and amy! i bought some coach purses :) it was a great trip!
April: i had signed up for a 10k in my hometown. i didn't do it because i was too embarrassed that i had gained back all the weight i had lost.
May:
got rid of my mom's vw beetle and got a 2005 chevy equinox. bittersweet.
END of the SCHOOL YEAR! moved my classroom to a new school
bailee came for the lincoln half!
my dad and i did the half marathon together. he was a real trooper to stick with me the whole 4hours it took me to finish. i didn't want to do it, and at some point when the route was a few blocks from my apartment i just really wanted to go home. but, i finished it. it sucked. i got big blisters. in 2012 i ran the WHOLE FREAKING half marathon in like 2 hours and 22 minutes. this year? like 4 and a half fucking hours.
June:
went to some work inservices.
spent some time with my dad in my hometown.
left for the trip of a lifetime! NYC for 5 weeks. did i mention i was in new york this summer? i think i might have mentioned it :) this trip was made possible by the generous housing facility de moxy :)
july:
new york! saw moxy & nip (naturally), bailee, jen, jocelyn, jenn b (where'd her blog go?), johnna, carrie, caroline, cindy, and anna. met liz, sarah, mel, amy, nicole, gwen, caitlin, betsy, drew, and lfb.
