Marathon

First thought: "Never again"

But now: "I must destroy my 5hr35min marathon time. DESTROY IT."

Anyway, the Marathon was probably the most painful and mind-challenging experience of my life.  I would rather take a Final Exam than run for another 5 hours.  JK I hate exams.

I thought this was cool:

I am now considered a "Legacy" runner.  Sweet!

Thanks for all the prayers (even though there probably weren't a lot).  Finished a Marathon, didn't get injured, and accomplished a feat not a lot of people have done.  Next year will be beast mode.

Beach Run

I just got back from running to Santa Monica Beach and back.  It's a nice 11-12 (somewhere around there) run from my apartment.  It's the third time I've run it since last week, and it's gotten pretty easy.

Today's run was one of the more interesting of its kind.  I decided to run by myself because MyungHoon Dominic hates running with me.  I definitely wished I could have shared my run with someone else today.  Firstly, after like a mile of running, I felt the poop in my system wanting to come out.  I cursed myself for not unloading before the run, and then I started to look for place I could poop.  I knew there were a couple of Rite-Aids and CVS's along the way, but I had no clue how much longer I would be able to hold it.

I decided not to take the gamble and stopped at Pet Depot, a veterinary/pet store.  I ran into the store yelling, "Excusemedoyouguyshaveapublicrestroom?!?!?!" while I was sweating profusely in my skin tight UnderArmour shirt.  The lady pointed to the back and I ran there with all the dogs and birds making noise.  They doubled the bathroom as a storage room, so I got to read the bag labels of pet shavings while I dropped a deuce.  Definitely would have been funny if a running partner had to wait for me outside of the store.

Then on the way back after I hit the beach, I almost got run over... TWICE.  The first time, the lady didn't see me while she was making a left.  She got close enough for me to punch her car and curse her.  Damn women.  But it isn't just women who can run me over.  The second car that almost hit me was a guy, also making a left turn.  He saw me and everything, but he was just trying to be greedy instead of waiting patiently.  This one was much worse because he tried avoiding me, but ended up getting closer to running me over.  Next time, I'm gonna wear bright bright bright neon highlighter colored clothes.  Maybe just run naked to get their attention.

And THEN, I witnessed an accident.  I didn't actually see the collision, but I heard the EERRRRRR*CRASH*!!!  Once the car in my line of vision moved, I saw that an old Honda hit a new BMW.  For some reason, I've been itching to see an accident, and I finally got my wish.  But it kinda made me sad since it looked like the old Honda model got really messed up AND the Honda seemed to be in fault.  The BMW looked perfectly fine.  =/  Hope no one was hurt in that.

That was my running adventure today.

*EDIT*

I forgot to add that while I was running back, a homeless guy yelled out "GOOD JOB KEEP IT UP" as I ran by.  Hahaha Thanks Mr. homeless man.

Finals Week

...means that I'll try my best to NOT study.

lost thoughts:

- I want to get a camera.  Time to snap some shots.

- I talked to a member of the band Seriously today (Nathan, who's freaking legit btw), and he was talking to me about what he plans to do after graduating from UCLA as a pre-med student.  Pretty much, he's gonna take a year off and live out his dream to become a musician.  Whether it's a breeze for him and his band, or if it's a grind, he's planning to go through a year of hard times to do what he loves.  Shit - makes me think of what I'm doing with my life...

- I need to run.  Marathon in t-minus 9 days.

- I have learned so much about myself in the past two quarters of school (20 weeks).  The things I've learned almost completely contradict everything I thought I knew about myself.  Boy, I've been getting stretched out this year.

- If Lady GaGa had a prettier face, she would be so dang hot.  She's kinda mental but it's pretty.... sexy.  Her music is awesome, her videos have lots and lots of depth, her body is not-too-shabby, and her swag is ridiculous.  Her face is just kinda scary looking.

- I wish there were 30 hours in a day.  And I wish there were 500 days in a year.  Or 500 days of summer.

- My emotional capacity is so limited.  Sorry to friends and family that has been affected.

- Next quarter, I will be taking Monday night classes from 6pm-9pm.  Is it bad that I'm already thinking of ditching them to play basketball/go bowling?

- Engineering is fun sometimes, but why do I suck at it?

- I hope Lady GaGa doesn't really have a man-shaft.  I'll be so sad.

Yoshinoya Beef Bowl finished at 4:25am.

Brush teeth at 4:30am.

Climb into bed at 4:35am.


I guess I have to run tomorrow.  Run a lot.

Time Flies

This commercial trips me out.  It's a funny commercial and everything but I think it's horrible how they depict life to go so fast.  Before you know it, you'll be a grown man with kids and a wife....  Scary.
