Serious about Success!

Today is Tuesday, June 1st, and it's time to get serious about success!!!

(okay, okay, I know I've probably said that 10 times already, but this time I MEAN IT!)

Today is the first substantive day of bar/bri classes... last week was just the MBE preview. Today we're learning torts... which means that I may finally get an answer to the question that's been lingering for years now, which is WHAT THE HELL IS A TORT? Ha.

And unlike last week when I came home and dicked around all afternoon after bar/bri, starting today I will actually study. And do stuff. And not get drunk. Promise.

June 1 also means it is 26 days until the Proud to Run 10k. And I have a looooot of work to do in just over three weeks. Yesterday I ran 3 miles in 33 minutes. I didn't die, but I seriously was damn close near the end of it. I honestly thought I was going into cardiac arrest at one point. So the thought of running twice that makes me want to cry/collapse. And the thought of running more than 4 times that in September for the half marathon just makes me laugh. Like as in "HAHA. There is no freaking way."
So today I am back on the training plan, back to counting calories and not eating everything I can get my grubby paws on, etc.

SERIOUS ABOUT SUCCESS. That's me.

  1. You can do it!!!! If you have iPhone, you need to download livestrong app (if you haven't already). I love, love, love it! I've downloaded several different calorie counting apps, and that one is the best. Good luck to you, and I know if you put your mind to it, you will be successful (so cliche, but so true)!

  8. I LOVE your blog! I am a runner/law student so I feel like I can totally relate. I will be starting as a 3L this upcoming August, so I'm not quite to the Bar stuff yet, but that will come in time... Good luck with everything! :)

  9. I promise, promise, promise that you are going to NOT want to procrastinate. I promise. Seriously though? Screw reading before the lectures. Waste of time. Spend it doing as MANY practice questions as possible.
