i love talking to old friends and feeling like not a day has gone by since you saw them last…regardless of how heart-wrenchingly sad your conversation might be. and while not all of it was tear jerker material (no one can maintain that for so long) it was great to hear a loved voice. ok, [...]
after a morning of intervals and a blisteringly painful discussion session in my ed foundations class (please oh please someone just make a point) and a approximately 2 mile walk home because it’s faster than the bus, i am starving and my feet hurt. the plan…simultaneously eat delicious gardenburger taco leftovers, study and watch “Buffy” [...]

From an email written to Joe Henderson:
“Joe,
It was a blast. I finished in 4:58 for 35ish miles. The second half of
the course was rerouted due to heavy snow pack. I especially enjoyed
these trails because they were very runnable. Only about five miles of
highly technical footing. This mountain running is [...]
so i am still recovering from the first week, but i certainly will survive. i have discovered that i will have to learn how to decipher another person’s chaos in order to pass my classes. none of my professors actually know how to write a clear and effective syllabus with actual schedules or due dates.
