Friday the Thirteenth and Daunting Things That Shouldn't Be

It's Friday the thirteenth! Anyone out there superstitious?
The day doesn't bother me too much, but it really shouldn't since my sister was born on a Friday the thirteenth. In October. Then again, I sometimes use this to state why she can be a bitch sometimes.
Ah, sister love.

Today I set out to do a ten mile run, and I was freaked out. Why be freaked out? I've ran that much before at least twice. I've even run farther than that. Being freaked out seemed a bit weird, but then I got to thinking about it. Before I signed up for the race in October, I automatically started running a little bit farther every time I went out on a long run. It's only now that I've started to get freaked out about it, and I think I know why. Take the art student, for example. They adore art, they love to make art. However, when it comes to an art assignment, they procrastinate. They don't want to do it. The reason why is because now they have to do it. It's not something they're doing for fun, it's something they're doing for a grade. I enjoy running, but it gets scary when I'm required to go farther.
Speaking of running, I'm going to get new shoes tomorrow. Goodness, money is disappearing quickly lately, but it's for necessary things. I might have passed the 500 mile mark for these shoes, and when you can feel at least five rocks trying to stab their way through your shoes it's probably time to do something about it.

Tonight I'm going to a dance thing in a dress from eight grade. Yes, it fits me. This is what happens when you decide to slim down your senior year of high school.

What's something you love to do that seems daunting when it's required?

Dance Recap and A New Running High

Yes it's Friday! It's one of the greatest days of the week, isn't it?

Here's a little recap of what went down last night for the Halloween dance:

My Halloween costume I think is pretty sweet first of all. It's from a recent SNL sketch, but not many people have seen it. Here's a blurry photo of it:

Pretty sweet eh? A lot of people didn't even know it was me under that hair! Funny.
Before attending the dance, I was going to go watch Cain's volleyball team play. Then their game was canceled, so we decided that we would just walk over from my dorm. Nice right? Well at the dance, I had this vibe from him that he wanted to get away from me. He said he likes to "drift".  I could be overthinking it, but it felt like it. And it didn't feel great. I ended up leaving alone. Boo.

Today I didn't have class until 11 yet I woke up at 7. You know what I did then? I ran 6 MILES. It felt amazing! I'm really excited about it. Plus, it was with no headphones. That's almost half of a half marathon! It's about a 10k! I'm moving up every day!

Tonight I'm going to Red Robin for a friend here's birthday, then I'm gonna crash a party... sort of. Sounds like a plan!

How do you act at dances?
