The Week Before Spring Break, what do you expect...

   My Spring Break started a little earlier than everybody else's last week. Due to my grossly underestimating how forward-thinking Penn State students can be, I logged on to the Megabus website to find that all the bus tickets to New York for Friday and Saturday had already sold out. Thus I was forced to leave State College on Thursday morning, effectively missing two days of school and using up ALL my LA101H excused absences in one foul swoop. I'm not complaining though. Chances are I would have spent Thursday and Friday mindlessly copying notes down and trying not to pass-out in my 4.30 pm French 001 class. Instead I got to spend them exploring Manhattan and catching up on much needed sleep before some of my friends come to town. So in the end my negligence turned out to be a blessing in disguise. :)

   Keeping up with my work-outs during the week wasn't so easy tho. With packing and trying to wrap-up all the week's assignments before Wednesday, I only made it to the gym once. On Tuesday I snuck in a work-out and did my best run so far at 2.40 miles in 20 mins. It nearly killed me, seriously. It took all my will power to not call it quits at 10 minutes and I was extremely proud of myself afterwards. Unfortunately, I didn't do so hot the rest of the week and my scheduled gym time was lost somewhere between finishing up my essay in the library and packing. On Sunday, however, I did 20 laps in the NYSC pool which curbed my guilt considerably. 

  I fore-see a mixed performance during Spring break. I'll probably get in at least 3 runs, and given the more forgiving weather up here, I'll do at least 1 run outside. However there's not much hope for my healthy eating regiment. After 2 months of well-meaning but ultimately under-whelming campus-food, I am psyched to once again have access to the great quality and variety of cuisine that perhaps only NY can offer. And I plan to have my fill. ;)

  Have a Great Spring Break everybody. See you in a week or so. 

Progress: 2.40 miles in 20 minutes. Boo-Yah!!!!
