I celebrated this morning with a 7 mile run into the city and back. That's actually the farthest I've gone in 2 weeks; I've been slacking a bit. Well, not slacking - running has just taken a backseat to academia. But I had such a good run - I beat the rain too. I ran about a 8:29 pace, which I was happy about. I wasn't necessarily pushing the pace, but it was faster than my easy runs used to be. It was nice to just feel like I could go and run for fun, without a huge stress on my back. Sure, I do have a term paper and final still, but at least I have one more thing off my list. Back to (real) writing...
My name is Vanessa Corcoran and in 2008, I moved to Washington DC to work on my master's degree in Medieval History and started training for my first marathon. Over 100 races, a master's, and a Ph.D. later, I defended my doctoral dissertation, "The Voice of Mary" at the Catholic University of America in 2017. With the Ph.D. in hand, it's time to embark on new adventures. Follow my new story at: VanessaRoseCorcoran.Wordpress.com

Passed the Morphology Exam/Good run this morning
Yes, I passed the morphology exam yesterday with a 94! I was so relieved. I walked to the exam with "Chariots of Fire" and "Gonna Fly" playing, to really psych myself up for it. I felt fairly confident during the exam that I passed it, although I was nervous while he was grading it. It was just such a relief to get through it and be done with it (until next year, when I take another one). My friend Mary passed her morphology exam too (that's the one I'll take next year), so we were both just so happy.
