2 more to go

the weekend is already over!  they're notorious for acting that way.  i ran the surf n santa 10 miler on saturday and it was a great race for me.  the weather and the wind were a bear but i was satisfied with my time of 1:06.  the weird thing is i really think i could have gone faster but i didn't know how hard to kick in the end because there was a weird wrap around to the finish line, which was inside the convention center.  on top of that, i had to weave through the people that were heading towards their 7th mile so that slowed me down a tad as well.  excuses excuses.  so this will be my second to last week living at the beach.  i can't believe it has gone by so quickly.  i have gotten to know virginia beach so much more than i ever thought i would, which has been so nice.  i'm not sure if i like it here because i know i'm not staying long or if the place has truly grown on me.  living at the beach in the late fall/early winter can never be appreciated to it's potential in the summer but i have made the most of it.  when i think about it all, i just get really tired.  i have been challenged almost every day at my clinical, trained for and ran two of my best races thus far, and saw one of my favorite artists perform, joanna newsom.  i have spent time with old friends, got to know new ones, and found places i never knew existed.  

i'm optimistic about the future.  anyone who is not is a fool.
