The first Sunday of every may is a big day in the running world. It is the broad street run which is a 10-mile run starting at broad and fisher right near Einsteins hospital then continues all the way through the city to the navy yard.

The race has about 45,000 people come out each year. That is a crazy amount.

So here are the 10 thoughts running through peoples heads as they hit each mile point.

Mile 1: One down, nine to go. That wasn't too bad.

While mile one is the easiest mile it is also the most boring. The beginning mile everyone is running and the adrenaline is high.

Mile 2: When is the first water station?

Mile 3: This isn't to bad only two more till half way.

Mile 4: One more mile. I think city hall is getting closer.

Mile 5: HALFWAY THERE.

Then you're halfway there. pitch perfect GIF

Mile 6: Ooo I like that sign.

Mile 7: Wait what mile is it?

Mile 8: I can't even see city hall anymore.

Mile 9: One more to go. Make this the best*

What am I thinking. My legs hurt and I don't know if I can go on. Oh, look its a camera, smile.

Mile 10: Finally done, where can I get my medal now?

Overall this race was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. However, it was hard but I would recommend it to anyone.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
