10 - Gelato is Good For the Soul.

FIVE. Miles, that is. Yup. That's right. I ran FIVE miles tonight! I'm so stinkin' proud of myself I could screeeeeam. The first 3.5 miles were alternating between 6.0 mph 0% incline for 4 minutes, and 4.0 mph 4% incline for one minute (roughly), but when I hit 3.5 miles I felt my endorphins kick in and kept running. Plus, I was watching Glee!, and I played the 'Sing for the World' song on repeat until mile 5. Oh yeah. That's a KICK-BUTT motivating song. It inspired me! Haha.


So, March's 5 mile goal is done! March's 'finish Scrubs' goal is also done. I've been a busy bee. Packing my room.... not done. But definitely started!!! Woohoo! :) Go Katy! It's only taken me two weeks to pack half a container! :) I think I deserve an award...


You should have seen my hair post-run tonight. I braided it (like I always do), and it went from being nice and smooth to 'dreadlock braid'. Seriously, I think I used half a bottle of conditioner trying to get the massive rats nest that was my hair. IT WAS BRAIDED! How in the world does a braid turn into a rats nest in five miles?! Lemme know if any of you have any answers to that, because I do not want to convert to Rastafarianism. Jus' sayin'. 


Ah! So yesterday I did something fun! I went shopping out in town with my co-workers. Trying to pick up some last minute souvenirs, and what not. Here in Africa you have to haggle everything and let me tell you, I am such a sucker. I should have a sign that says 'White American girl pay way too much for stuff' and just save them the time. Haha. But not today! Today I got some really good deals, and I really got into it, and had a lot of fun! Here are some of my finds. (And by that I mean, all of my finds..)

Pretty nifty, huh? We had a good time, but it was hot, and since we are working nights right now, it was the equivalent to being out all night for us, and I'm a grandma and needed to come home and go to bed. We did get some other fun pictures though. :)

That gelato is divine. One thing I really like about it is the portion size. That is a two scoop, and it's the size of an American "kid's cup". Obesity wins again, America. Obesity wins, again. Not. Anyways, this girl is exhausted and still has to clean my nasty room. My roommate comes back from Germany today, and I'd like to not scare her away.. Haha. Have a great day y'all!
