HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EACH AND EVERYONE FROM RON! Ron is continuing to improve. The nurses sat him up on side of the bed and he can hold himself up for a short time! We are still praying for feeling and movement in his hands, legs and feet. We are so thankful for the good care Ron is receiving at ETMC Specialty Hospital. Please pray for the staff and physicians as they continue to provide the care Ron needs to get better.
Today was the first day back, and was it boring. I just couldn't stop thinking of the fact that those annoying days of teachers excessively talking and tests, and homework came back. Vacation just seemed so relaxing, even though they seemed very short, boring, and uninteresting.
But anyways, not here to whine about homework, instead, to avoid homework, I would like to talk to friends online, myspace, msn, and everything. I'm taking a "break" from homework. Write to me, I'd like to meet somebodyhere. c/b
tämä on nyt se paikka, johon pyrin päivittämään elämääni göteborgissa. tosiaan, nyt lähtöön on vielä aika monta päivää, eli kymmenen. kuitenkin tuntuu, että se tulee lopulta liian pian, koska asioiden hoitaminen on hieman jäänyt. onneksi siellä päässä kaiken pitäisi olla suht kunnossa. asunnon sain tosi helposti, hakemus vaan paikalliselle opiskelija-asuntosäätiölle ja se oli siinä. luulen, että kämpän taso ei ole mikään päätä huimaava, sillä keittiö ym. on yhteisiä noin kymmenen muun kanssa. mutta sehän ei mua haittaa, parempi vain oikeastaan. eipä ainakaan tule jäätyä sosiaalisesti ihan pimentoon, hih hih.
lähteminen sinänsä ei jännitä hirveesti. lähinnä mietityttää, että miten se ruotsin kieli sujuu, kun pitäisi heti muutaman päivän jälkeen olla ruotsiksi pidettävillä luennoilla ja seminaarissa. no menee miten menee, eiköhän siitä selvitä. ja ainakin kevättä kohden sit paremmin, hoppas jag. tosiaan miljöpsykologi-kurssille olen menossa. ihan kivaa, kun ei täällä pahemmin ole ympäristöpsykaan tullut perehdyttyä. lisäks otin jonku kämäsen ruotsin kurssin, jos siitä vaikka pääsis helpolla. haha, niin varmaan. mutta siis opiskelemista varten en ole sinne menossa, se vaan on fakta.
oikeastaan siis enemmän kuin itse lähtemistä, jännitän sitä, muuttuuko täällä jyväskylässä kaikki kevään aikana. tosin eihän täällä yleensä paljon tapahdu, joten toivottavasti samat jutut oottaa vielä kun tuun takas. näillä näkymin toivottavasti toukokuun loppuun mennessä.
det var allt nu. tack och adjö!
One week is down in my journey to complete my first marathon. My training plan, taken from runnersworld.com is workable and sensible. As I get closer to my race date, I will seek more specific advice from seasoned runners. For now, it's off to a good start. Do to the weather, I've been using strictly a treadmill to meet my running demands. However, I prefer to run outdoors and will jump at the first opportunity to do so.
My training plan is as follows for this coming week.
Mon- rest, Tues- 3 mi, Wed- Xtraining, Th- 5 miles, Fr- weights, Sat-rest, Sun- 9 miles
I've recently had some problems with my left knee. The infamous "runners knee". It seems to have passed but I only seem to have trouble with it when I increase my mileage. Hopefully it will hold. I have a long way to go. The training plan caps out at 20 miles for my longest run. I'm not even at 10 yet. So we'll see...
I may add a night of Yoda into the mix. Not sure just yet...
As it stands now, I'm going to target the ING Georgia Marathon on March 30th http://www.inggeorgiamarathon.com/site3.aspx. The follow up with another in May at the Fargo Marathon. Fargo will also be my backup in case, for whatever reason, GA does not happen. Plus, I expect for GA to a learning experience. So if all goes well, the Fargo Marathon will be the better event for me personally.
For now, my focus is the 3 miles I have tomorrow.
82 days to go.
LAND and horses!!!! I went to S. Thar's team penning and man, it makes me miss horses and just being out in the country! I need that and I want to raise my boys OUT of town! SO, now what? DO I sell my house? Do I stay in this shithole town or get out and take a HUGE cut in pay? WHERE do I want to be? all I know is I want to be out of town enough to have land! and I don't think I want to buy land from my dad in Sundance because I don't want him to hold that over my head if I am not nice enough to "Her" ,,,, so, I will wait, pray about and wait and see what God lays on my heart about WHERE to live! Meanwhile, I will keep getting house ready to sale, If I stay I can enjoy the improvements!
With you God, ALL things are possible!
