I used to be able to tough out runs that are cold and where snow is all over the roads, but it’s seriously a demoralizing feeling when you have those elements. I really wanted to keep my second week of running really good, but with that snowstorm that came on Tuesday, everything just went crap. I mean sure, the sun came back the next day, but I just wasn’t having it. It was still windy and cold and the snow is just an obstruction. ...
It’s been a long time coming, but I think I’m finally ready to bring this blog back to life and bring a whole new focus to it. My blog basically consisted of many different topics over the past few years, but it’s time to just narrow it down to one thing. I’ve decided to have my blog focus solely on my running. People have probably thought that’s what the blog was all about the whole time, but seriously, take a look at my old posts and you’ll see that it hasn’t always been that way. ...
It’s the day before Halloween and Sandy has either continued or stopped causing destruction across the east coast. It has been quite a couple of days of rain and wind, with many affected by these actions. Home have been destroyed, flooding has made roads inaccessible, flights to the east coast are continually cancelled, and many children whose Halloweens have been compromised for the second straight year. Schools where Sandy had hit most continue their cancellations to possibly the end of the week with all the damages done to surrounding areas that obstruct students’ means of transportation. ...
Well it has certainly lived up to its name as a hurricane. Sandy has been a force to be reckoned with along the east coast, with rains and winds slowly picking up since about 10:30 this morning. So far I’ve seen many pictures with high crashing waves and reports of power outages all across New England. I lost power around 5pm, so I have nothing better to do than type this from my cell phone. As far as I know, the wind is supposed to die down around 8pm, but that remains to be seen. Then the question of when power will be restored to those affected and whether or not school and work cancellations will continue. As I ponder and watch this storm from the comfort on my own home, stay safe everyone.
As the start of school looms over me once again, I decided to make my declaration to make have some serious refocus for the next school year. Last year was a rough one, and I had my share of the ups and downs with the workload from my classes. Somehow I managed to survive, but barely after my grades destroyed any morale to start the summer off on the right foot. I must make a plan in order to recreate the success I had from my first year in college. ...
