I WENT RUNNING LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!! WAHOOO!!!!!

Last night was my first great run since I hurt my leg. Though I kept stopping after every mile or so to check for pain, I did managed to piece together 3 miles. That made me very excited and tonight I'm looking forward to a nice and steady 2 miles. If all this goes well (and I have no pain tomorrow on my day off), I'm going to jump right back into my training schedule. I need to get back in shape because I'll be at the beach in a month, just in time for BIKINI SEASON! Not to mention it looks like I'm going to be biking EVERYWHERE since I sold my car. I'm actually looking forward to this even though it means 7 miles to and from the beach and over 2 over 50ft bridges each way. But hey, I'll keep in great shape, right?

As for work, I might take the month of May off completely. I found out I'm getting a pretty chunk of change back from my taxes (rock on H&R Block), and I didn't have to pay rent for this month since the guys paid first and last months when they moved in 2 yrs ago. So I'm pretty set money wise, depending on my medical expenses for my Peace Corps clearance and my flight to NC. I also want to get a TEFL certification and I can enroll in a 40 hour program online. Though, I have my good friend Kelly scouting me potentially cheaper programs in the area because classes with actual face time in schools would be much better.

All in all, things are wrapping up nicely for me here. I can't wait to get out of my apartment since we've all but given up on cleaning since we are leaving. It's so gross in our living room that I almost didn't want to sit there and watch 24 last night. I can't wait to get to my moms where things are clean and I'll have space to walk around (my growing stack of boxes is taking over what little walking space I had left in my room). Not to mention, I can't wait to see TAZZY!! YAY for my kitty.

did you advertise your car in a newspaper or something when you were selling it? or did someone you know buy it from you?

i'm going to be selling my car pretty soon (actually, the likely case is that my parents will sell it, since i'm leaving in a month...) but i'm just wondering how you did it, and if you have any pointers. if not, that's cool too... :)

I sold my car last year to my neighbors when I moved to New York. It worked out great.
