Running still sucks, but now I kinda like it!

Not really sure what's wrong with me, but this running thing isn't as horrible as I might have once thought. Yes, I am still slow and yes, I can barely run a few minutes without a walk break and yes, it still sucks hardcore while I am actually doing it. But I have this weird sense of accomplishment when I am done. I actually have a goal race in mind, too. The Addison Oktoberfest 5K in 5 weeks. Yep...5 whole Ks! Also, I am doing a walk for Autism in November...please visit my site and donate to help us reach our goal!

The past few weeks have been hectic and weird. Work was super busy as was school. By the way, I am now officially halfway through grad school and have maintained my A average! Of course, my next class is accounting, so not sure if it will stay that way. Then we had layoffs. Luckily for the majority of us, there were 3 part-timers here and they were the ones that were let go. However, rumor has it that the next step would be cutting everyone's hours down to 32/week. Which means basically a 20% pay cut. That would be disastrous for my finances right now! I'm putting off buying my accounting book because I can't afford it. Hopefully ordering it on September 3rd will be plenty of time for it to get to me by the first class on September 12th. I'm hoping we are still getting raises next month like we are supposed to...especially since they are now taking money out of our pay for insurance. But anyway, on top of that, I have started my running class this week, too. It's a good thing I have a couple of weeks off before my next class begins. I can just veg for a minute before it all starts to ramp back up.
