Saturday's Run Pictures! (4/5/2014)

Rocks in my Nikes -_- bane of my existance

Beautiful little run around the trails by my campus! Every run there feels like the first time (: I was rocking the Nathan Vaporshape and my Nuun visor! Both made the run infinitely better!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR A REPEAT (:

(And of course I was running on SaltStick and GU!)

UPDATE!! (Disney, Upcoming races, and SPONSORSHIPS! Yay!)

HI EVERYONE!

I've been away far too long and I'm offering my deepest sympathies! (College has been crazy, but that's hardly an excuse for all you lovelies.)

Personally it was a bit rough around two months ago, but after one break-up (Bye Zach!), three hour long talks with my best friend (Hi Mae!) and about seventeen long runs (Sup Nikes?), I feel amazing! Don't let speed bumps turn into road blocks!

However right after the break up I went on an AMAZING trip to Disney World! And met some amazing people:

I also got to help out a little around the park (YES I'M A DORK)!

I finished the week with some time (and yoga) on the beach!

All in all it was a great week and I got to meet some really great people! But the best part of the trip was that I spent a lot of it getting to know a guy from back home, Kevin, over the phone. Our whole romance was a little unexpected, but after a month of dating it's getting pretty serious. This is our first picture together... it screams romance:

Okay so maybe we're both extremely dorky, but who cares? I really like it, and he seems to really care about my running which is a little unheard of for a non-runner! Overall he's just great and he's coming to my next race! WHICH IS IN 9 DAYS Y'ALL!!!!!

BUT THE BIGGEST NEWS!!!!

I'M NOW OFFICIALLY A SPONSORED ATHLETE!

YASSSSSS I am currently sponsored by GU Energy Labs until the end of 2014 (: I'm so excited! This is such an amazing experience and I can't wait to try new products and represent one of my favorite brands !!

My Future?

The future is extremely exciting and scary for me. I think I want to go to law school and become a lawyer, but that's more in my head than in my heart.

In my heart I want to be outside and active. I really love the idea of working for Outward Bounds or i2P (Impossible 2 Possible). Both organizations have potential careers for me, and I really want to get out there! I hate being in my comfort zone! I want to push myself! And I want to watch and help others push themselves. 

I've decided to apply for an internship at Outward Bounds for the summer. I just want to see what I can make happen. And I also am emailing with the heads of i2P to see what I should do in the future to get to the level that they are looking for when hiring.

I know I don't have all the criteria, but I have all the drive. When I was about to be a junior in high school I went on an expedition with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and I loved it. I also was a counselor throughout high school at an Outdoor Educational Facility. 

I have enough experience to know that I like doing it. I just think an internship would seal the deal for me.
