I'm published...sort of
For a class last term, we wrote a group paper about representations of creativity in popular media. We looked at Google Images, blogs, and You Tube videos to see what kinds of representations were out there and how they might affect people and their conceptions of creativity. We submitted it for publication and its going to be published in Psychology of Popular Media Culture.
Normally, scholarly papers don't have 10 authors, but hey! It's my first publication and thanks to my last name starting with a "B", my name will be second. I'm not sure when it will be out or who will read it, but it's exciting nonetheless.

Yippee.

To the Coast
Vastly different from the NC coast, and beautiful in ways that scare.
Forrest, cliff, and beach all wrapped into one.

Doin' it and Did it
Well, we did it! Chloe's first marathon and my fifth.
It was a rough day for me, and I am starting to wonder if I am meant to ever run faster than 4:50. This time around all my training was there. I had been doing long runs much faster than usual with Chloe, and I even had been going to weekly speed groups to work on my fastness. All the stars seemed aligned for a 4:30 marathon.
However, my food stuff seemed to be off this time. I woke up with an off stomach, and I couldn't make myself eat any shot blocks or gu or anything else during the race. It all just seemed so gross to me. So around mile 16 when I ran out of fuel, I ran out of steam. I had to stop and stretch a few times after that around mile 21, and that threw my time was off too. Oh well... There's always next time. I have high hopes of doing a marathon in every state, so there's plenty of time for PR's and 4:30s and 4:20 and maybe even better. Just gotta keep going...
Chloe did great! She blasted it and came in under 4 hours! Yay!
