New Goals

Hi,

So my high school coach texted me last night. We texted back and forth for a while: a few nicities and jokes. Then, I looked back at an old message that he sent me (I only save his texts and save all of them I can fit in my phone). He said I should wait to start running until I made new goals. I put off making new goals when he first sent it to me, because I wasn't even ready to think about running. But last night I set down some goals and I feel like I am ready to get serious again. (1. Run at least 50 miles a week this summer 2. Do at least 5 min of abs everyday 3. Race every race 4. Top 5 at conference 5. Regional qualifier).

Thursday's Grey's Anatomy episode was the best episode in a couple of seasons. I thought it was very sad. The most touching story line was Alex's. When he said the "I was a kid then and I'm a man now...I'll be better this time" and when he cried "please" to Izzie...I have to admit I cried. I also wanted to cut after Rebecca slit her wrists and all the talk about Meredith's mom. What a triggering episode!

We went fishing with my 3 year old niece tonight. It was really fun listening to all the funny things she says.

I just finished Atonement and really enjoyed it. It was a very sad book though. I really wished there was a happy ending, but it seems no one gets a happy ending in all the books I read. I have started Cannery Row (Steinbeck) and can tell you I enjoy reading Steinbeck better than I enjoyed Atonement. I guess I am just partial to Steinbeck's style and characters.
