Hey y'all!!!
It has been a long time since I have blogged! Please forgive me! I have been very busy with school!
Here is an update on my life!
In May, I signed up to run the St. Jude half marathon! I was thinking oh this will be easy! I was SO wrong. Training was very difficult because I had very little motivation to run and I was just being lazy. I would run 5 miles here and there but I never got up to 10 or 11 miles like I was supposed to before race day. Race day came very quickly and I was so nervous!! The race began and I was doing good until mile 9. A horrible pain starting going through my legs. It was something I have never felt before. I walked most of the last 4 miles. Thankfully my running partner, Sydney Warren, was right there with me the whole race! I could not of made it without her!! Guess what! I finished and I felt so accomplished! I just ran/walked 13.1 miles!!! I was so overcome with emotion when I crossed the finish line. My mom was right there cheering me on and says "don't cry now." I finished with a time of 3:39:52. I was super proud of that! I know Nick was looking down on Team Nick that day!!! What an awesome experience! I look forward to doing the race again next year!
My sister and I after the race!
Woo Hoo!! I did it!!
I'm finally finished with school for the semester! It was a very stressful semester and I am so glad that it is over for a month or so! I finished with 3 B's and 1 C. Not too bad for a student like me! Next semester will be my last semester at EACC then I will be going back to UCA. Yay! I'm so excited to be going back and getting to hang out with my friends!! That school has my heart! I also declared my major as Marketing. I feel like this is the right thing that I need to be doing! I can't wait to work for the Arkansas Razorbacks one day!
Since I have been home for Christmas Break, I have been reunited with all of my best friends. It has been awesome! We all hang out all the time and have so much fun! I am so glad that college has not changed any of our friendships! I also know my mom and dad have missed me and Kelsey being at home! They won't stop saying "When is it time for y'all to go back to school?" hahah ;)
Thanks for reading! I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Until next time,
Kristen Leigh Buynar <3
