College is getting harder. I have also been working a lot the last few weeks. Last week and the week before I worked more hours than I have in quite a while. It really made it hard to study the way I usually do. I have had 2 tests now that I felt very unprepared going into. I got an 88 on one of the tests. I've NEVER had a grade that low before. I was shocked. It was a really hard test and as soon as I started I knew I wasn't prepared. I've had to make the difficult decision to quit my job a couple of months before I had planned. I knew that I would not be able to work when I have to start hospital clinicals next semester because I will have 2 full days of clinicals and 2 full days of classes.
It has been bitter cold here. Last night during the Thursday night group run I was actually wondering what I was doing. My face was so cold. But....when we finished up it was still a tiny bit light out!!!! The last couple weeks it has still be a little light out when we started but last night was the most light we've seen on a Thursday night run in a long time! Does this possibly mean that spring is on it's way?????? It won't come soon enough for me. Today I also got to go for a run. I don't even know when the last time I ran 2 days in a row. I hope to be able to get more running in once I am not working. I will have to soon if I am going to have a decent half marathon in May. It wasn't as cold today but it was still bitter cold. It just isn't fun in this weather but I can't stand the thought of running on a treadmill either. I ran so slow today; my body just wouldn't go any faster and it was difficult. I was running on cleared paved paths so I can't say that it was from the deep snow or bad footing.
Well, it's time to go turn on my heated matress pad and get ready to crawl into a warm bed and read my new Runner's World (March issue). Maybe reading about people running will help me to feel like doing it again.
