My name is Andrea. I am a graduate music student. On May 29th, 2010, I was planning on running my first marathon. This blog was to be a documentation of my training and anything else I find tumblrable. However, in about week 11 of training, when my long runs were up to 14 miles, I developed terrible shin splints in my left leg. Like, hurts to walk shin splints. Anyway, long story short, I ran the thing. I didn't finish, but I did make it to mile 16, and plan to run a full 26.2 someday soon. This blog is sometimes about running, more about cycling, but mainly about me...the things I like, obligatory funny shit, day to day life, my attempts at writing creatively, and...who the Hell knows. This is me. I make no apologies.
"I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild."

CAMP ONE, MOUNT EVEREST, TIBET-05-06-05-
Anne Parmenter looks over her tentsite in Camp One, at 7,100 meters on the North Col of Mt. Everest Friday after waking from her first night at the camp. She and most other members of the Connecticut Everest Expedition spent a night on the col camp then returned to Advanced Basecamp. They will make several more trips to Camp One and perhaps one to Camp Two to acclimitize before heading for the summit of Everest in the last two weeks of May.
