Run: Another 7 miles. Taking too many days off just to make them up in Capitol runs. I feel really great after 3 miles, something I’ve never been able (or thought I) could do before this year, but consistency has not been my friend lately. 

Pick me ups: Taylor surprised me with an hour long massage at AustinDeep where they specialize in athletes. An hour goes by so quickly when you let go of the world and all it’s cares. With running nearly everyday, my back has not gotten used to it, so the massage was heavenly. <3

Reading: Still reading Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. It’s very diary like, which are my favorite. Coincidentally, he brings up Cezanne’s paintings which are what we are studying in my Modern Art History Class. It’s enlightening to get his perspective of them at the time they were painted. 

Cooking: I breaded my own chicken wings and baked them! They turned out delicious!

School: As if you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty excited to have made the Dean’s List. I surely thought it was a mistake until I saw my name on the wall. HA! I’ve had such a terrible relationship with college. But somehow I’ve come from wanting to quit to this little accomplishment that is huge to me. I’ve been on such a high lately. My photography professor, whom I look up to more than any professor I’ve ever had in college, unexpectedly gave me the greatest compliment on my thesis work. I spoke about consistency earlier, where are you?
