Life is Craziness, But There's Always Time For Running

I realized today that I've been neglecting my blog! But life has been busy with work and concerts and football games. And slacking off. My work has been sneaking up on me and exams are starting soon for me, but I'm not really prepared. So this might be the only update for a little while.

Last night I went to see The Fray at school, and it was amazing! I admit I'm not their biggest fan but I do listen to their music from time to time and I think they put on an amazing performance. Plus, it was my friend Jess' birthday today, which is what the whole surprise was about: a few of us baked her a cake Saturday night, and while we brought her to the concert last night, her roommates decorated their room and we surprised her for her birthday! It was an all-around amazing night. (Happy 20th Birthday Jess!)

The best thing that's happened recently, though, is that I've started running again! I dipped into the money I earned this summer working at Gap and bought new Nike running shoes and the Nike+ system for my iPod. They came in the mail today, and I used them for the first time tonight. I love them. I bought the Nike Free that feel like you're running barefoot, but with the stability of actual shoes. The Nike+ has a little sensor that you put into your shoe so it can track your distance and your speed, then you go send the information to the Nike+ website and it will track your results. Plus, you can go on there and set goals for yourself to beat in a certain amount of time. I set my goal to be a reasonably short distance in a small amount of time in case I get really lazy. I don't want to disappoint myself. You can even create a Nike+ mini, which I did, and then post it onto your facebook or blog. Naturally, I added my mini as a widget on the sidebar underneath my "Follow Me" widget. I'll update my account every time I go running, so maybe putting my progress out there for everyone to see will make me a little more motivated. Probably not. I don't really care if people think I'm lazy.

Like I said, this might be my only update for a little while. My first big exam of the semester is on Friday, and then I have another one next week on Tuesday, so I will be studying, studying, and, you guessed it, studying. Hopefully I can take a break at some point soon to find something funny or really cool to post about. Plus, the Brothers & Sisters season premiere is on Sunday, so I will definitely be blogging about that.

Until next time, stay classy blog readers!
