2 days in a row...

So I managed to blog two days in a row. Looking at my calendar, I'm not sure how long this is going to last. I have a ton of stuff to do for school. It's certainly going to be a race to the finish.

Speaking of racing, I thought I'd report that I ran my first 10k this month. It went pretty well and I beat my expectation by running it in under an hour. I won't say that I'm "hooked" yet, but I am looking for some more races to run in this year and thinking that I might run a half marathon by next year. We'll see how long I stay motivated to do that. Oh, and for all of you who are trying to picture me running in the midst of your laughter, here you go:

So I joined BMG Music this year and have gotten a ton of CDs so far. I just received my latest shipment today. While I have 4 more CDs on their way (backordered or something), I got:

• Good Charlotte: The Chronicles of Life and Death


• The Killers: Hot Fuss


• Keane: Hopes and Fears


• Casting Crowns: Casting Crowns


• Yellowcard: Ocean Avenue

While I'm still listening to all of the songs, I have to say that I was really surprised by Keane. I'd only heard like two songs, but I really like the entire CD. The rest of them are just as good, but I already know most of their songs so I wasn't as excited.

Oh, and back to the running thing once again. I'm not sure if you've heard about the new adidas_1 shoes, but they are running shoes that have a computer chip in them which automatically adjusts the cushioning to your running conditions. I'm not sure how much they'd help me, but I'd love to try out a pair. Unfortunately they are $250, so I'll be waiting quite a while I'd guess. Here's a picture:

Well, I wanted to be in bed by 11:30 PM tonight. It is now 11:35, so I've missed my target - almost exclusively because I decided to blog. See everyone, I'm sacrificing for YOU!
