Ah, Mrs. Hagarty is somebody I look up to in the running community, she is a local from the next town over and we end up running at a lot of the same races. She is in her early nineties now I believe. She is the world record holder for the oldest woman to run a marathon on all of the seven continents. She started running when she was seventy something so that she would stop smoking. She got herself addicted to running instead of being addicted to cigarettes. She most recently ran in the NYC Marathon, which she claims to be her final marathon, but that same claim was made by her in 2009, so we'll see what happens.

Not enjoying what is left of vacation.

I need to overcome procrastination, turn in like twenty late assignments for a single class, then hope that teacher grades them before the end of the grading period in two weeks so that I may pass the class.

I've left assignments for the last day, too, but not that much. Good luck 'n' stuff.
