Goodness! I haven't posted for over a week, where did all this time go?!
Thank you everyone who has left encouraging comments, advice, or anything on my posts. I get so excited when I get a notification of a new comment!
Anyway, I don't even know where to start. Basically, I've been trucking out paper after paper the past week so by the time I finally have a chance to blog I'm all typed out!
Good news though... only one paper, 2 assignments, and 2 finals away until I graduate with my Undergrad Degree in Accounting. WOOT!! The official graduation date is May 15, but I've made the decision that I'm not walking... for a lot of reasons. First and definitely most important, I would have to miss a Saturday morning team run. Um, not happening! I look forward to Saturday team runs all week. I've already asked off work for that weekend due to graduation... soooo instead of walking like originally planned, I will just take my day off and enjoy the a nice long run with my Team. Another reason is that I will be graduating again in a little over a year with my Master's Degree in Accounting, so I will walk then. Another WOOT!! I'm so excited to say that I can finally see an end to all this madness. Basically... 2 semesters, 2 summers, some studying for the CPA exam, some domination of the CPA exam... and I am donezo! I would woot again, but that might be a little excessive.
Okay on to the running...
Last Saturday, Yvette and I met at 4am to run our long run because we both had to be at work early so couldn't make it to the team run. Actually, Yvette didn't have to start till about 5:30am but she sacrificed her sleep just so I didn't have to run alone... do you see why I'm always saying how much I am SO thankful for these ladies and TNT? They are seriously awesome. Anyway, we had a really good 17 mile run. The entire time I couldn't stop thinking about these bad boys...
Okay, these things seriously are amazing. Hannah talked me into getting these after she swore about their amazingness. Not gonna lie, I was a little skeptic... I mean, come on.. they are socks, and an expensive pair of socks at that. But nope, not just any sock.... I now believe they are magic socks. I put them on about 30 minutes after our run and left them on basically the rest of the day. The next day... my legs felt almost brand new! The week before was my 20 mile run and my legs hurt for 2 days after! This week I felt like I could run the next day. I can't wait until my next long run, just so I can wear these again! Have you ever tried these?? If not, you should.
Pretty much a random post and I have lots more I'd like to share...but it's getting late and I have a running date in the morning so I must get some sleep.

congrats on the upcoming graduation! mine isn't until june but i'm so excited : ) i have the pink recovery socks too and LOVE them!
That's so awesome that you'll have your master's in just over a year! Mine took two full years of night school and it was torture!
I totally agree about compression socks! They are magic. I'm actually wearing mine to work today just cause my legs have been feeling tight/heavy lately.
It's so exciting that your long runs are getting easier! Keep up the good work!
I am a huge believer in compression. YEs, you can run back to back days when you use them, they are magical, there is even race sleeve versions so you can run in them.
revoery socks are pretty much the best thing in the world. I'm actually planning on doing my own review of them (in bright green - wee!!) next week! :)
You can totally run two days in a row with them.
I've never heard of these socks, but now I want them! About walking, you're not missing much. It's only fun if you can walk with some other friends. Otherwise I think a more memorable experience is just walking out of that last Final. Congrats!
Congratulations on being so close to graduation! What an exciting time in your life.
I have never used recovery socks yet but I have heard nothing but good things about them:) They are currently on my list of things to purchase in the future.
Congrats on your upcoming gaduation!! God, I remember finals week...yuck!! I hope that you have a great day!
