Life keeps coming, and you have to keep rolling.

We haven't blogged in a while, mainly because we are both frantically trying to finish up graduate school in the next few weeks. Does that mean we quit running? No. In fact, we finished Run the Bluegrass in Lexington two weeks ago and set a PR as a duo and individually. We will be running again in two weeks at the Derby Festival mini marathon as the second half of the Half Classic. We did our final long run yesterday morning and started planning out how we want to change for the better and challenge ourselves more, and after that run, we signed up for our first true travel race, the Great Smokey Mountains Half Marathon in September. And after that, maybe we'll sign up for the Indianapolis Monumental Half in November. Why not do four in a year?

We would like to turn our focus to again getting faster over the summer months, but also spend some time on fun activities like beach volleyball, camping, swimming, and canoeing. We've both had a hard three years of working, school, and life, and it's time that we focus on what our friendship started with. This also means getting healthier and challenging ourselves to focus on our weaknesses now that school is almost out of the way.

It's an exciting time. Two weeks until our second half marathon of the year and hopefully a PR on a flatter course. Four weeks until graduation. Kirstin will take her boards for her MPH in June and some other certification stuff for work, and I'll take my physical therapy boards in July. And then? Just life.

Also, if someone could please make these shirts for us before Derby, that would be awesome (just kidding, not really). Apparently I can't have that many colors on one shirt using that site and it costs a lot of money because we have to buy 6.
