You all know I run, like..... a lot. Luckily, in my long running career, I've never really gotten injured. I mean, I've had knee pains every now and again, but they don't keep me off the roads. I've fallen, eh hem..reminder, but it doesn't stop me from going out every day. I've never had anything occur that actually keeps me from running when I want to be running. I think today might change that...
I went on a pretty standard run for me today, and nothing outstanding happened (besides the scorching heat radiating through my soul). I get home, relax, and watch an episode of "Keeping up with the Kardashians" (...yes, I know I have terrible taste in television, Mike reminds me everyday). I get up to get lunch, and BAM! Something is hurting on my right foot. The ball of my right foot to be exact. I limp to the kitchen, and the tile makes it hurt worse. I grab a granola bar because no way am I standing at the stove to make a batch of pasta when my foot hurts like this. I go back to sit down.
I've been trying to figure out what this is since. The news is not promising. It sounds like I'm going to have to take some time off from running to get this to heal up. Super sad news for me, but lets just hope I can stay out of the hospital.
Lets not forget my knees are still sore from falling three weeks ago, and now my foot hurts. Is this what it feels like to get old? I sure hope not.
We'll see how it feels tomorrow. Until then, I'll be sitting right here, either studying, reading, or sleeping.

July mid-month wrap-up
July has been a great month so far, well....minus having summer school. However, I did get some students to switch clinic shifts with me during the 4th of July week so that I could make it to Ohio to spend some much needed vacay time with my boy and his family. We went to a amusement park, rode go carts, climbed rock walls, went in bumper cars, played laser tag, and much more! It was a ton of fun, and I never thought I would like all of those things so much!
His family also has three birthdays that they celebrate around the 4th, and now our anniversary. They got us a cute little cake with our wedding colors on it! It was sooooo good. I'm still craving it.
Mike also took me on a mini-second honeymoon to Bar Harbor...............
Road. Haha! He found a Bar Harbor Road near us, and took me there to celebrate our "second honeymoon". That boy is so sweet I can hardly stand it.
In prep for the Color Run, we needed to get Mike out and running during our little vacay. The easiest 3 miles in my life turned into the most painful because I tripped over something and scraped up my knees pretty bad. They were bandaged for a while due to bleeding, but now they have bruised over. It's almost three weeks later and they are still sore. Just my luck!
Ever since that little vacation we've been back here at home relaxing. I've been studying late for exams (hence the gigantic coffee that I was drinking at 9pm), we went to a Coldplay concert (my dream come true, it was AMAZING!!!!!!), and I got a haircut! First one in a very long time.
Hope all is well with you!

Color Runniversary
July 8th, 2012. One year wedding anniversary. Color Run.
YAY! We made it one year! I'm so happy to be married to this guy, it's insane. To celebrate our insanity, we decided to do a 5k, but not just any 5k. The COLOR RUN. Every kilometer you get slammed with color powder to create a very colorful body/runner.
We started off all white, and ended up rainbows! It was so much fun. AND, it was Mike's first 5k ever! He finished like a pro too.
The color was some cornstarchy substance that murdered your lungs as you were running through it, but it was worth it. It was centered around the Art Museum *cue very confused tourists*, and afterwards there was a huge party with music and color. Everyone threw color at the same time and it turned into a huge color cloud. It was an awesome experience. And it was especially awesome because Mike and I did it together!
I was really excited for Mike because it was the world's largest color run ever, and the third largest 5k ever. I think that's a pretty cool way to start your running career.
I hope there is always a color run around us on our anniversary because this would be an amazing and fun tradition to do every year!
Here's some pictures and a video of the "color cloud" experience!
