disney world was a blast but a real damper on my training. i had to do all my runs on a treadmill (actually thoroughly enjoying, surprisingly) i hate walking and that's all we did a disney. i was on my legs from sun-up (running at 5am) to sun-down (getting back to the hotel room around 10). running, walking, standing in line, walking, more walking, occasional sit-down, walking, sleep, repeat.......a vicious cycle for my poor legs. i missed tuesday's and friday's recovery run due to the trip.

yes, my legs. |
my legs have literally just felt worthless and my state of mind isn't much different. i have not had continuous ice bath cycles in about a month. my legs are taking the toll. i have no one to run with so i can't wait to get back to starkville. it's hotter here than florida. we are in a drought and the heat index rises to 120 degrees. this is ridiculous. it feels worse than mississippi. most of my runs are at 7:10 pace which i don't mind, but when every single day i am running near 6:45/mi to finish a run, my legs aren't recovering too well (especially with no ice bath or massage----MSU YOU SPOIL ME!!)
i am headed back home, to starkville. that is truly where i belong at this point in my life.
i have decided that i am going to give vet school my attention. i haven't looked into the logistics/scholarships vs. running/masters/all that jazz....but vet school sounds like a solid plan for me, a nerdy biology freak who has all the love and knowledge in the world about animals. if i can't go to vet school and run, then i will probably get my master's in zoology (since i can still run and get my master's with my amount of eligibility left)
drinking coffee and watching dexter,
