I ran 10 miles today. i'm very excited about it. it took a long time--92 minutes. i think i could have ran it faster but i didn't plan on running 10 miles. i was going to just run 6 but my left leg was killing me for the first 5 miles so i never increased my pace from 6.5 so when i hit 5 miles and began to feel better, i wasnt tired at all---so i felt i had to punish myself for my slow pace and i was going to run 8 but then 10 sounded better than 8--so i kept going. i never really went much faster until the last half of the tenth mile. maybe next week ill try to run more than 10.

anyways, i'm happy. then nick and i ate jimmy johns (replenishing the calories i burned off--i'm dedicated to my fat) and we bought stuff at Barnes and NObles. Nick was saying how i feel looking at office and art supplies is how he feels at a videogame store.--i was examining the planners so intently--i became too stressed out to even continue looking let alone to purchase one. I love them all and i can imagine myself having a good year with several of them...it really was just too stressful---

then nick and i went to Caribou Coffee and i'm super excited cause they have these coupons where you can buy one get one free of their new drinks--like apple cobbler, cocunut cream pie, chocolate something...i dont remember--but i called KRisten right away to reserve her in the next few days for a Caribou Coffee trip.

i'm so happy right now. Joe Nabozny is living with us indefinitely. Nick originally told him no which just disturbed me to no end. It was cute that nick thought he was being considerate to me but it showed he definitely doesnt understand what i get upset about. I do NOT want OUR friend Joe to sleep in parking garages while he is temporalily homeless (FEMA effecting even the Northern boys)--what i DO want nick to do is be careful of being a RUDE BAD BOYFRIEND. like that time after Cedar Point when he tried to make everyone be quiet when i passed out in the middle of a friggin party. i don't want him to be quiet at times like that! i want him to be quiet and considerate at 3 am on a weekday night when he decides to bring 4 friends over to play music and drink. how does he not see a difference? oh well, he's trying and that is very cute.
so i'm completely fine with Joe staying with us--except my continuous hunt for alone time. but i'm just going to make the best of everything and stop letting those vague, self-defined standards ruin my life!!
just like we should NOT let the box of rats ruin our lives, right Kristen?
