E.M.O day = E.M.O. post...Sorry!

I have .N.O. motivation to do anything today!

Here it is, 9:15 and its really been a long day already. I couldn’t bear to get up and run today…I’ll do it tonight though…haha yeah right…but seriously…I HAVE TO! Someone give me some motivation to MOVE! Ever since I got this injury, I have been lazy, unhealthy, and stressed! Not to mention tired! Isn’t it weird how that works? Its probably because I don’t have that stress release I usually so when I run…bla bla bla…
It might just be the mood im in, but this is a fairly personal post for me…so sorry if you don’t want to read it…ha-ha it’s my venting space! So…just a warning…this might be a little EMO!
Like I said, it’s been a long day, a long week and probably the hardest, longest year of my young life to date.
Here are a few highlights from this year, good and bad, in not really any particular order…this might be a lot, not all by all means, but a lot of the important highlights of my life sorry if it gets a little long. This is memory lane!

Rachel! I am so glad I found your blog! You are so adorable, I loved that post. I loved it because I haven't known what's going on in your life since Ecuador and I loved that you were so honest and just cute about everything. I hope you are doing well. It sounds like it's been a rough year. Well my dear, you are BEAUTIFUL. Why do you have to be so far away so we can't run together? Man, that would be fun. Keep in touch. -Teddy
