officially absolutely finally finished with my SMP!!!

[marathoner452]

I had my SMP presentation yesterday morning. Christine and Denise said I did a very good job and looked sounded very professional, but geez did those professors grill me. Slavery is a touchy subject, I suppose. It's done though. Now all I have is finals, which seem pretty anticlimatic after my SMP.

I'm exhausted. Maybe finishing up my SMP then running a 1/2 marathon 2 days later wasn't the best idea. We finished 5th out of 50 2-person Frederick Marathon relay teams, though. :D That made me very happy. I finished in 1:57:02, and my relay partner ran just over 1:30 to bring us in around 3:27. Yay! I ran in a 3:27 marathon. Someday I'll do that by myself. :-)

Next up: 18/55 Pfitz plan for the Baltimore Marathon, October 15th.

Oh, and I was accepted to this really cool-sounding internship in Charles Village. I'd be entering census information into their database to help preserve historic neighborhoods in Baltimore. The only catch is that it's about 45 minutes away and I don't have a car and the internship doesn't pay. :O So to do the internship I'd have to work 20 hours a week there, at least 20 hours a week someplace else to afford a car and gas-and never mind the Special Olympics sailing that I love and marathon training peaking at 55 miles a week, quality miles to boot.

Do I really want to do all that right after graduation? Or do I need a break? Right now I'm exhausted, but maybe after senior week and sleeping in a few mornings I'd feel better. It sounds like such an excellent opportunity, but I don't know if I can pull it off without running myself (literally) into the ground. And I have to decide by Friday. :O

Okay, back to studying for my exam tomorrow.

hey girl, dunno if my mom will go for it, but I'll be not around too much for most of the summer, so there would be an open room at my house and a car not in use, which is only twenty to thirty minutes outside bmore depending on where you going (I can make it to parking east of the inner harbour in twenty-five minutes in the morning and out in thirty-five in the arternoon now.

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, this internship is further north in Baltimore-probably about as far from your house as from mine. Near Johns Hopkins, supposedly. But hmmm...I'll keep that in mind. :-)
What're you going to be doing?

I've always believed in the "Listen to your body" thing. You could probably use a few days to relax, and you'll feel a lot better.

As for the whole job-internship-training thing, I think you can do it, as long as you really budget your time. AND you have me in your corner and I'll be cheering you on all the way. :-)
