Long run this Saturday yay!

Well let's see, I'm being pretty bad and procrastinating getting ready for work. I went for my long run today for my princess training, 8.14miles.
I can honestly say that when I got home I wanted to either curl up into a ball and cry or calmly throw up when I got to the top of the steps to our apartment. Which is kinda funny as I felt perfectly fine during the run. I do honestly love how my body feels during a long run; the tight feeling in my legs, the shortness of breath, and knowing that I can push my body beyond where I had ever believed was possible in the past. I missed the feeling these last couple of weeks. This was my first truly long run in the last month, it's so strange I think I might have let my boss get into my head more than I had originally thought. She kept saying it was bizarre that I would go for any kind of exercise before coming into work, if I ever told her the number of miles I had done or what I was training for I got the look of "you're absolutely nuts" I don't usually like getting that look from people I deal with regularly. Eh whatever, overall at this point I have gone for a run the last four days, and I am hoping that I can begin another running streak. We'll see.
 It's amazing the things I notice when I am out for my runs. I took a similar path to what I used to this summer and I just noticed this. I wanted to go inside but the gate was locked and requires a key code to get in. Curiosity is killing me though. I must know what the historic hallam preservation is. 

I have finished another leg on the blue bear and hope that I can finish it this weekend. I am also loving my I ♥️Radio app, it allows me to listen to the radio stations from back home, I didn't think that just that one thing could make me feel a little bit better from my homesickness. I'll be honest that is probably one of the main reasons I am running as much as I have since I moved, it makes me feel like I am closer to my parents. Sheesh February can't come soon enough, I miss them like crazy.

Oh on a random note from my run I did beat three of my previous records on my Nike+ app. I beat my fastest 10k,
my longest run,
and my farthest run as well
. So I am really excited about that. I think that is all that I have to say at the moment, I know I said that I would talk about something else in this  post.... But I cannot for the life of me remember what that is.... Hmmm.... Maybe it will come to me later today and I will write it up later. 😉

Luv ya!
