Happy Monday friends!
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
What a weekend for Mississippi. I’m so proud of both Mississippi State University and Ole Miss. For those of you living under a rock, or maybe for those of you who don’t care about the SEC or College Football, Mississippi State creamed Texas A&M (sorry cuz!) and then Ole Miss pulled out a win against Alabama. This pushed both of the schools to tie for 3rd place on national ratings. Kind of a big deal. College GameDay will be in Starkville next weekend as we play Auburn, another big deal. Lots of excitement all around Mississippi!
MARATHON TRAINING
I’m pretty determined to finally complete that Marathon that I’ve talked about the past few years. Training didn’t end so well last week, but I’m determined to stick to the schedule this week. I have a 3 mile run right after I publish this post and finish last week’s Grey’s Anatomy episode, then I have 4 miles Wednesday, 3 Thursday, and 7 on Saturday. The 7 mile run will be tough in Starkville, but I don’t plan on staying out late or drinking Friday night so I can be prepared for my morning run, then I’ll head out to the game and enjoy myself afterwards. I missed my long run this past week, so sticking to my plan is crucial this week. I need to do some research on proper nutrition for marathon training especially as a vegetarian. I’m concerned with that moving forward.
FALL
Who else is thrilled with the beautiful arrival of Fall?? On Sunday, I did the greatest thing ever – sat outside of Starbucks with a venti cinnamon dolce latte in a long sleeve shirt. Fall has officially arrived. Sure, we still have some warm days in Mississippi, but the fall weather is slowly rolling in and it reminds me how far behind I am on so many things – blogging (clearly since I haven’t blogged in about a week), figuring out what Nick and I are going to be for Halloween, and probably other things that aren’t coming to my mind right now!
Have a wonderful week and a wonderful Fall!
