I retract this statement. I am now stressed.

The good news: this ND Lax game has been way less stressful than when we played Penn State in a playoff game in a different sport earlier this year.

ND lacrosse beating Ohio State lacrosse felt mildly cathartic redemption after January.

Full on bawled when he picked up Poppy. So satisfying.

Girl behind me at Braves game as a Marlins reliever comes in: “what’s happening? Halftime show?!”

We’re going 155-7, yea? Back in my normals digs for the 9th-ish season (save for the Covid virtual year)

And now Risch and Koval to the portal as well?! Who does ND actually have? Hannah, Cass, and presumably Watson coming back from injury? This just all makes me so sad…

I’m sorry for speaking this into possibility, and truly hope it’s almost anywhere but…

I feel like the dagger would be one year at USC. The void without JuJu for a season somehow feels like the perfect opportunity…and will also destroy me

Between whatever is happening to the Braves and the Olivia Miles transfer portal news…I’m in need of something good sports related soon, please?

At the Bananas game today, and was thinking possibly how much more enjoyable it could be right now for them to have a long Truist residency? 🫠

It’s almost like perhaps we shouldn’t have let nearly the entire middle relief part of the bullpen sign elsewhere. Though, the Bummer foot double was indeed a bummer.

The disrespect in where the ND women got seeded. Hopefully the time off and the extra motivation propels us all the way to Tampa.

Yeah, I have a hotel and flight to Tampa booked because I was absolutely feeling it…hopefully this couple week break will allow for a refreshed reset back to better quality basketball.

It’s been wild these past couple of weeks. Just so sad to not be living up to our potential.

Completely out of rhythm, no consistency in making baskets anymore, sloppy passing. I can’t explain why, but it just makes me sad to be falling short of what felt had so much potential. Hopefully a reset for a couple weeks will help.

Literally have a text chain with my ND friends about the same :(

Pro: I have turned my basement into a great place to relax and recover after long runs.
Con: I did not consider the pain of the stairs.

Plain, sure. But with cheese? And shrimp?

Yeah, I was like, am I actually witnessing this right now?! If it was an emergency, sure. It clearly wasn’t…

Me, seeking some sense of peace and normalcy, heads to Ash Wednesday Mass. Middle of the 1st reading, woman next to me answers her phone in the pew. So, still seeking peace and normalcy 🫠

Pretty sure this was during the Braves-Phillies playoff game that season, and looking back, it was the reaction to a very questionable catcher’s interference call

Thanks, it has completely wrecked my day and this trip, and I am absolutely just over it all.

In the past week, someone has “mistakenly” taken a cake that I paid double what they paid for and my luggage, despite having a bright pink “Lauren” tag on the bag and the taker was a man. And I’m at my breaking point and just want to run, and can’t, because my running shoes were in my luggage.

So my single Gu in my hour and 30 minute run isn’t going to cut it?! 🤣🫠

I live for baths, truly one of my favorite recovery tools. Occasionally I stay at a friend’s home and see their gorgeous new bathrooms and momentarily think I want to redo my own…but I cannot give up a good tub.

Ran my first double digit mile run since my last half today. Coincidentally, I have been recovering in my bathtub for more than an hour now.

20+ years later and if I stumble on the final episode of Friends, I always stop to watch it, and it inevitably still makes me cry.

Crossed the 18,000 run/walk/hike mile mark since starting to track using Nike in May of 2013 today and puts me somewhere around 21,000 since I started to run. Always find myself being reflective at these round number milestones, but thankful for everyone I’ve shared a mile with.

As fun as these dominant NDWBB wins are, it’d be nice to feel some competition again soon to prepare for tourney time.
