EVER FEEL LIKE DEATH WOULD FEEL GOOD? ...no? run a marathon!

I just finished a 3 hour 50 minute run which took me past Kentville (and if you're from the valley, you'd know that's pretty damn far from little ol wolfville!)...at the begging it was a beautiful and I had my wonderful roomdawgs to keep me company for the first 3K...then it started to rain really hard, so that kinda sucked, but it cleared up and i finished my run with a slow paced 40 mins on the dykes with the other friendly runners. When i got home i felt pretty fantastic..tired and sore of course, but you know...Pleasantly Exhausted...now though....a couple of hours later, i'm tired, cold and feeling like complete and other grossness!!! Even the yummy food i bought at the market this morning makes my belly want to vomit. I'm hoping a nap will help me recoop and feel better...alllllllll this in the preparation for Myrtle Beach Marathon (Feb 18) where i really want (cross your fingers) to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

The Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's most prestigious road racing events. This year the race is its 110th anniversary and welcoming the world’s top marathoners (like Catherine Ndereba from Kenya and my Dad from PEI) to Boston. The race accepts a maximum field of 20,000 athletes that have qualified. I need to run allll 26.2 Miles in 3 hours and 40 minutes to qualify.

"seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away. "

So, yes it is the beginning of our last year at Acadia, last time to blah blah blah. I am slightly excitted about the anticipation of finding out which school will graciously take all my money and let me continue educating myself. I've applied to McMasters and Nothern Ontario for Med School and am planning on submitting applications to U of T, Western and Dalhousie for Nursing.

Soo...this means lil plette leaving the 'vegas bubble and venturing out to possibly Toronto, Hamilton, Nothern Canada or Halifax.

Which city would i enjoy the most? Given the choice i have no idea where i'd like to live. i will miss people if i'm too far away.

on another note...38 days til Myrtle Beach MARATHON! is time to start carbo-loading yet?
