Needing to get busy writing my paper...

So I'm here at work with a torn contact. So If I have a ton of misspellings it's because I can't see the computer screen. Last night Lance (my fiance) and I went for a run together. Kind of unusual for us to run together. He runs faster and I run longer so it is usually no fun running together. Or running after him. When we got half way around our 2.5 mile trail Lance wanted to show me how he sprints up a hill. He wanted us to go up and down as fast as we could. As I mentioned before I'm not a speed runner, I'm more of a endurance runner (and barely that). I took my turn going up the hill-faster than usual. When I got to the top my right knee and calf were killing me. Not sure why or how. This has never happened before. The only injury that I have ever sustained while running would be shin splints and I had them about 3 years ago. So after this pain started happening we still had about half the trail to run. I ran the best I could with my bum leg. It actually felt better to run than walk. When I made it inside I drank a glass of water and took two ibuprofen and took a quick shower. It actually quit hurting fairly fast-which was a relief. I usually run about three times a week just for cardio exercise and to keep my body fairly toned. I am actually really enjoying running. I used to hate running but now I crave it. I like to imagine that I could one day be a great runner with a runner's body. Maybe one day...
So right now I'm enjoying or just drinking my very watery iced latte from work's coffee shop. Also thinking about what I should get started on first. I need to email some students (I work at a university) about an assignment that they haven't turned in yet and I need to start my week's assignment and my 15 page paper. YUCK! The 15 pager isn't due until the end of July but I'll be on vacation so I need to get an early start on it. My paper will be on "The Importance of Personnel Development and Training"-exciting stuff. This is my third class in Troy University's Masters of Public Administration. I really enjoy my Masters but since my undergrad is in Psychology I have no experience with Public Administration. I am taking the classes online and the people in my classes are much older and experienced than me. So my discussion board posts look so juvenile compared to theirs. I hate that part of my classes, but I have only have nine more classes to go (yes I said only). I take the classes in nine week term, so If I keep taking just one class at a time I can finish in May of 2011. However I really want to finish in 2010. The only problem with taking two classes at once is money. Lance told me that he really wanted us to pay for the classes from now on. Not take out any more loans. I'm grateful that he doesn't have any loans because I have enough for both of us.
