I'm running a half marathon. Trying to do something useful.

This time last year, I was a young, bright-eyed girl looking for adventure after graduating from college and before entering the ranks of the full-time employed. I traveled to Chicago, to Edinburgh, to London, to Paris (on a wonderful weekend whim), and to San Francisco -- not looking to "find myself" or anything in particular, but rather just to have some fun.

It seems so long ago. I wish I acted the (young) age I am instead of the jaded and cynical person I have allowed myself to become. Wait -- I just realized I wrote I wish I acted. But acting isn't believing... is it? I just wish I had more fun.

Enough sad talk; onto cooler things. Like a half marathon. THIRTEEN miles. Me and myself. And everyone else racing on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It's really exciting and (dare I say it) even kind of fun training for it so far. I can't wait to cross that finish line on October 2nd. No matter what happens I will have contributed to this great cause.
