Well I finished my second half marathon this past weekend! I was surprised at how well I felt-not did- considering I didn't train like I should have. Last year I ran at least 4 times a week and cross trained twice a week, but this year was maybe half of that, but I signed up a long time ago and felt like I needed to do it anyway. I also ran alone-well not technically, around 30,000 people run it, plus all the spectators (its like a huge party), but I didn't have anyone to talk to along the way, some of my friends who signed up or were planning on running bailed out last minute, so thank goodness my parents were there or it would have stunk-but we ended up running on our own. Also, the weather was super nice but too hot for running either 13.1 or 26.2 miles, I saw several people passed out on the sidewalk (they were receiving medical help-just to let you know I'm not a jerk and left them there to die)! So, I am blaming all the conditions on my bad time but, I never claimed to be fast! Oh well at least I finished, right?!
The reason for the title was this guy had a sign around mile 2 that said "Run B**** Run"-some would take offense but I loved it! It made me laugh and I said it to myself the rest of the way-it was motivating, crazy, huh? Oh well, I think I might actually do it again...maybe even try for the FULL marathon, maybe.
The first port of call after we sailed from Barcelona was Cannes, France. I am so glad we got upgraded and had balcony in our room! When booking the cruise back in August Ryan selected the cheapest room we could get-an interior with no view! Whenever we checked in we were told we were upgraded to a better room! Sweet! Because if we hadn't gotten that room we would have missed out on the beautiful views! Waking up in Cannes was gorgeous! The city was getting ready for the film festival that was going to be held there the next week and it was such a nice day! We just walked around the little alley ways looking in the shops and cafes. When we were heading back to the ship we stopped off at the beach and put our feet in the water to say that we've been in the Mediterranean Sea. We also had out fair share of topless old women! We decided to lay out on the ship and I was just thinking to myself looking onto the water and the mountains, Oh my gosh how lucky am I to be laying out in the French Rivera right now when I could be back at Dalton taking my finals! :) Then when the ship sailed from there to Livorno, Italy the mountains in the background were so beautiful!...I wish I were still there... 
Not our chair- Sorry Taizsa!
OLD heels-thank goodness
