Super steph???

This past week has been incredibly busy...and next week isn't looking any better. Trying to balance both jobs and running clinic is alot more stressful then I originally thought. Having both of those as well as the normal stress from exams just really pushes me over the edge. I think I am in the need of a really good sleep and a very relaxing day down by the water, any takers???. Some social activity would be really good right now, since I find myself seculded so frequently lately, not by choice of course. But don't fear everyone I am still squeezing in cycles. I'll give you a little play by play with the past week and the upcoming week. Hopefully you can feel my pain.

69 days....

So here it goes. The final low down. The final week of class. Spring has arrived. The winter boots, and winter coats have disappeared. The spin classes have ended and cycling has begun outside. Running has continued (yet in desperate need of new shoes) and school is closing to its end as well. The final door of fourth year has almost closed. Within the next 69 days before I leave, I have a pretty hectic scheduale. I have 4 exams to write plus 4 days a week I will be instructoring a running clinic. Donating blood, volunteering for the final time, and helping with my soon to be nephew! I will also be working two jobs, cycling on the off days, saying goodbye to friends and family, creating final packing lists, organizing flights, packing the bike, logging still what I beleive is 1000km, enduring two big bike trips to prepare myself for the distance all while trying to have a social life. If anything fails let that be the social life, everything else seems to important right now. The closer this trip draws the more excited I get. I'm not even sure how to feel, I think theres too many thoughts both of excitment and of nerves. I think for now the best thing to do is just to keep on going, enjoying it all. Even the hectic stressful days ahead.
