15K!

Last time I wrote about a running event is was my 10K-- my next goal was a half marathon. My freshman year roommate, Colleen, and I had pick out a race at the end of April. Unfortunately, spots sold out before we had the opportunity to sign up. Instead we compromised with a 15K race (9.3 miles) in early May.

We ran the Boston Tune-Up 15K. The majority of runners were prepping for the Boston Marathon, so clearly I did not win the race. I completed it in 1:52:41, which was just shy of my twelve minute mile goal. Next up is hopefully a half marathon mid-July.

Leave of Absence

It's a bit of a complicated story for another time, but I have taken a leave of absence for this spring semester and plan to start up again in the fall, perhaps the summer. 

So far some time off from school has been exactly what I needed-- it has left me plenty of time to spend afternoons in the park with Solo.
