Greatings from Ireland the land of Guiness and scones. Currently I am sitting in a hotel library using the wifi which is the hottess commodity at this point during our travels.
To catch you all up, first semester senior year has been completed with a gpa of 3.8 and an overall gpa of 3.7 horrary it went up! The semester was nice with an attempt at a radio show which failed. The biggest let down was mentioned in my previouse post, that is, the posterior tibial tendionitis. I still have it..yep its been almost 3months and I still have that dang injury. I ran the Christmas City classic anyway...which might not have been the greatest idea but I did it anyway..so there.
Now to the present day. It just so happens the Ireland trip came into existence and Nicole and I therefore traveled to Dingle Ireland.
To start the flight made us all into a lovely milk shake due to the exsesive amount of turbulence we encountered...lets just say that when the flight attendent gave a look to another flight attendent of...oi...and then stone cold nothing. I had a little panic moment and began to say a few hail mary's.
Luckly, we landed in SNN airport and got on the buses to Dingle. Once arrived we checked into the cottages and had a lovely time disscoving our limited source of tolet paper and the comfey beds. A short tour of the town followed and later dinner at a small pub where the meanu consisted of the usual suspects. Fish and Cips, Sheapersd Pie, and some form of chicken or meat thing.
Sadly, what then occured was dissapointing and frustrating. Many of the students on the trip had decided this holiday in Ireland would be what we call a Sh** show. Every night was a reocurrance of the same binge drinking. Luckly, there are many students like myself and nicole that had the same view of ferreting out the cultur instead of the contents of our stomach. So, here we are now in Killarny for a date with the Blarney stone and some good shopping. I personally have made my first purchase of none edible objects, consisting of wool slippers!
We will be departing soon for dingle again where the small few of us wish to sleep and creep. While the others most likely hydrate in there most dehydrating short of way.
Enjoy and Cheers!

A Bean's Tale of Running

- Hi. You may be wondering why the weird title? It may even be the reason you’re at all giving interest to this blog in he first place. Well...I'm not gonna tell you why it’s called this, yet! I'm a Senior Exercise Science student with a final goal of a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I use to be a swimmer but then became a college student and ate and slept. To my dismay the freshmen 15 had mauled me. So, due to my two unstoppable friends I began to run...actually it was more of an attempt to move on land when I knew the only grace I ever had was in water. I ran my first 5 miler the Bethlehem Christmas City Classic 2008. And, I did another first the Steel Man Triathlon 2009 at Lake Nockamixon. I've now started a running blog which I have no clue how to really manage just like my running. I am now training..I think, I hope for my first Half Marathon and olympic distnace tri. So, join me as I learn how the heck to write a running blog and how to run.
