Katie Goes to Track Practice

Why does that title sound like some bad knock off of a Curious George book? Oh wait, that's because it is. The track is complete foreign land to me, I feel like a cat in a doghouse - maybe that would make me run faster? Okay, so it actually wasn't that bad, at some point I actually kind of thought "Hey maybe I'll do this again sometime...like next Wednesday." It stopped being fun when the lactic acid shriveled my calves, my breathing became wheezing, and I looked around and realized I was the only one sweating like an obese man at a 4th of July festival...then again I'm always the only one sweating like an obese man at a 4th of July festival. Why is that? At spin practice on Tuesdays I always have a small lake underneath my bike that could hold at least half the marine life of the Mediterranean Sea before the main set even starts, while everyone else is just chillin' out. Am I supposed to be working this hard? Maybe I just sweat like a man. I'll blame ...

And in recent news.

I made the decision at about 10:05 this morning to backpack in Germany at the end of this summer. It's absolutely ridiculous I am almost 21 years old and have never been out of the country. And when else am I going to have the opportunity to trek across Europe with one of my best friends? Answer: never. So this calls for some additions to my to-do list: -Make at least $2,000 in the next 7 months -Learn some German -Buy a plane ticket to Dresden -Go to a REAL German pub -Get lost in Europe -Be fearless (Or at least pretend to be) I'm old enough to know, but young enough not to say no. Love love love, Katie
