shortmom:
Seems a lot of people are interested in besting their own PR (or a friend’s!) one mile time!
Let’s get crazy for March Mile Madness!
Compete against yourself, compete against a friend. Let’s see what we can do in one month!
Track yourself here: Google Spreadsheet
The only prize is the pride of trying. You already win.
Get in on the fun, fools!
Awwyeaaaaaaah

Hi all.
Warning: This is not a happy-go-lucky post. Expect feelings of guilt, hopelessness, and other shitty feelings. Profanity present.
Lately i’ve been in a slump. Not only a no running slump, but a no everything slump. After bar hopping on no sleep thursday (and pulling two all nighters earlier in the week), my body is punishing me by making me sleep a shitload Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday. I...
Finally done with school stuff.
Excited for my Saturday run! :D

27 Rules for Conquering the Gym! →
fierce-fit-fabulous:
1. A gym is not designed to make you feel instantly better about yourself. If a gym wanted to make you feel instantly better about yourself, it would be a bar.
2. Give yourself a goal. Maybe you want to lose 10 pounds. Maybe you want to quarterback the New York Jets into the playoffs. But be warned: Losing 10 pounds is hard.
3. Develop a gym routine. Try to go at least...

Oh dear twelve miles...
My mom is so cute ^_^v
She always know the right things to say when I feel stressed, groggy, or the taboo word.. fat. Funny, down to earth, best-mother-on-the-face-of-this-earth status. For her, it was always kids > everything else. It boggles my mind how much time and money she invested in my two younger siblings and me. She never ran out of love or patience. Especially patience. We were horrible kids, we...

Roses and some chocolate (really good chocolate, in a box) on Valentine’s Day are great, but the roses come with possible pesky environmental issues, and as for chocolate, free trade issues, not to mention the marketing battle over whose bittersweet is better. A man in San Francisco set the bar a little higher, biking a path for Valentines Day, tracking it with his iPhone and GPS and...

Day thirtyeight- recap
Day38; Six miles
Ran by myself (in the daytime too!). I noticed I run longer during the day-there are more distractions. I wanted to quit by mile three, but thank goodness I didn’t.
Ran 6.92 miles. Pace was 10:17, which I think is pretty good for having a 11:33 mile @mile three. Without the stoplights maybe my pace would have been 10:00. Who knows.
Right now = in the best mood ever....

Day twentynine + thirty + thirtyseven recap.
Day29; rest day
Intended rest day. But bought new gear and decided had to try them out. Ran around three miles, conversational pace, untimed.
I absolutely love my compression socks! 60 bucks? Totally worth it. Next time, i’ll just buy them online—it’s a lot cheaper. The insoles were bothering me, but I dealt with it.
Day30; three miles
First run in the rain (i’ve...
Mondays got a little bit brighter.
My OT internship always brightens my day. Gotta keep working hard to become an occupational therapist. It’s what i’m destined to do. I can do it!

Are done. They weren’t fast, but they’re done.

Am I dreaming?
What? I might be running the Tough Mudder this year? Oh really?! Isn’t it a tad expensive?
Wait what? One of your cousins is paying for your registration? As an early graduation present? Forreal?
Theres more? Your other cousin offered to pay for one of your marathons? You’re freaking kidding.
I was just talking to my friend about how taking up running as a sport can be expensive....

Friday started with early morning travel and a stop at Chick-fil-a.
After seven hours in the car, we arrived at packet pick up and our first look at the trails.
