summertime

there are two things that i never do during the school year but for some reason become habits as soon as the weather warms up: running and reading. it's kind of funny how naturally they come to me during this wonderful time of the year but i love them while they're here.

i just finished catching fire, the second book in the hunger games trilogy. this series is up there with harry potter in it's addictive power but luckily less than half as long. so i just have to wait until august for the third and supposedly final book. i normally refuse to follow the trend and read the latest books, except i almost always give in and become among the biggest addicts. like with harry potter, and now hunger games. i never succumbed to twilight and i am quite proud of that fact.

wasatch back is coming up in less than a month. i'm a little nervous but i just keep remembering how great last year was. 12 runners, 2 vans, 188 miles. it's a little crazy but also amazingly fun!

this is a picture from last year. i stole the picture off alison's blog which is why the quality isn't great. let's just say i'm definitely going to pack a rain jacket and some warm clothes this year.

oh and there's one more word that describes my summers: math. i seem to love to take impossible math classes during the summer and this summer is no different. i'm participating in a math/stats program called "boot camp." should be tons of fun, right?

math, running, reading... how could a summer get better than that?

i hope you enjoy my ipod

last night laura and i drove to 7-11 to buy dr. pepper and diet coke (i have been craving diet coke for the past week thanks to carrie). we came home, parked the car in the parking garage and went to bed. we went down to the car this morning and i was about to go in my car when i was greeted with this lovely sight...

it took me a few seconds to realize that i would not be driving anywhere. and then to realize that someone had broken into my car. and then to think "what in the world could they possibly have wanted?" i looked in the car and realized that my three-year old ipod nano and itrip were gone. later i realized that my cd case with about 15 cds from high school (most of which were burned) were also gone. so whoever broke into my car, i hope you enjoy my scratched ipod that is probably worth about $30 and my cds. but thanks for being considerate enough to leave my efy cds. that was very thoughtful of you.
