Getting back on my feet (literally)

Well, after jumping back into running, it's only taken me three tries to get back up to running a full 5k. In the past week, I've ran the 5k distance three times - managing to lower my time each try. Now, I've got my 5k time right around 33 minutes (before my injury, I was closer to 35 minutes. Woohoo for the 2 minutes lower!). I'm hoping in the next few months to eventually get my 5k time near 30 minutes. We'll see though. I'm also trying to find some races to run in the future to give me something to strive for. I know I'm trying to do a 1/2 marathon in October, which sounds crazy to me running that far. However, with 6 months to prepare, I think it's manageable. Ask me again in October though. :)

Besides running, I'm just waiting for results to come from graduate schools where I've applied. I'm not a patient person, so the waiting is KILLING me. Hopefully, I'll know around the beginning of April or so. Until then, I'll run out my frustrations... if it will ever stop raining!
