Friday Five: What I was up to in 2005

My sorority formal-May 2005

Hi all! Linkup Friday!! Thanks to our amazing hostesses: the DC Trifecta Bloggers (Courtney from Eat Pray Run DC, Mar from Mar on the Run, and Cynthia from You Signed Up For What?!). This weeks topic is what I was up to 10 years ago. So in 2005, I was 18 and about to turn 19. Let's see what I was up to!

1. I had just finished my first year of college at Penn. Now I have just wrapped up my first year of my doctorate!
So crazy the parallels here 10 years later.

2. I was anxious to get back home because I missed Texas. Now I still miss Texas and my quick 3 day trip was not enough time.

3. My college boyfriend was coming to visit me and meet my family in Texas for July 4th. Now my current boyfriend and love of my life and I just returned from a 10 day vacation with my family in Walt Disney World, which use to be our yearly June trip.

4. I visited LA for Spring Break and it happened to be the day of the LA Marathon and we saw people running while we were on a tour and I thought runners was Crazy! Now I run at least 3 days a week, have run the LA Marathon twice(it was my first 26.2!) and am signed up to run again!

5. I got to hang out with my brother who was a new teenager,just turning 13. Now we have 3 more siblings and I'm the oldest of 5!

It's amazing looking back 10 years and seeing how much has happened: I've become a runner, I have a bachelors and a masters and working on a doctorate, I have a job that I love , have a boyfriend that I love so much and I live in LA. It's so true that you don't know where the future will take you.

What were you up to 10 years ago?

I'm reading these and feeling so old LOL. 10 years ago, I had never run a race and was pregnant with my second child...

Definitely agreed with you on how awesome it is to look back and see how much has happened! :] A decade ago, I was on my last year of high school, and now I'm about to start my last year of medical school! I started my fitness journey somewhere in there too! :D

Funny how our opinion of runners and races have changed since then. I never would dream of running a half marathon or marathon back then.

Excellent post.

One thing I have noticed about certain sites is that, even though they have tons of content, the site looks great and the headlines are eye catching is that the material is simply filler. It’s downright unreadable. You can forget it 6 seconds after you read it. Not the case with your post though, really enjoyed it reading it and it held my attention all the way through! Keep it up.
