random thoughts

is it weird that when people i havent talked to in awhile ask me how im doing, i automatically catch them up from the day i graduated college till now? its as if my life started as soon as i graduated. and then i realize wow, ive just caught them up on the past 3 years of my life and then its a shocker because im like HOLY CRAP ive been out of college for 3 years?!

whenever someone asks how old i am, i am inclined to say 22 as my first thought. then i have to ask myself, wait a second, how old am i again? and i think its weird because at 22 i was graduating college. i feel like theres some meaning here. maybe internally ill always feel like im 22 and starting anew.

we have been on a very nice sunny/warm streak here in the DC metro area. im loving it. this weekend i have plans for brunch and bottomless mimosas! im also going to run 8miles tomorrow. im getting anxious about it. yesterday afternoon during my run, it was 80 degrees and the heat definitely took my breath away. i plan on running first thing when i wake up tomorrow. i have two routes mapped out and not sure which one i want to do. the first one is just run along one of the main roads for 4miles and come back. the second one is run along the main road then run through one of the neighborhoods and come back. im leaning more towards the second option because i think itll be a bit safer running through a neighborhood than along a main road.

everywhere i drive, ive noticed more and more cars with either a 13.1 or 26.2 sticker. and you know what, i feel like these bumper stickers are more and more inspiration for my runs.
