Portland, Oregon Here I Come!

Alright, you guys. I’m basically packed. Just need to get my hair straightened, and pack my power cords and we are good to go. I’ve made the executive decision to not bring my laptop so I will not be updating this blog until next week sometime. Keep your eye out on my twitter, cause I’m [Click here for the rest]

Where have I been?

Where have I been, you ask?

Oh, I’ve been a twitterin’ fool. I’ve been around. But I haven’t been… present.

My new helmet. Its pretty sweet. Now, to get my new bike.

Lets air out some laundry, let go of some deep dark secrets (which may neither be deep, nor dark.) I am freaking [Click here for the rest]

3 Day Training: Fried Brain and Pictures

admin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 05:18:02 +0000

Today was the last of three days of training. No, I didn’t do super awesome workout training stuff. I wish it had been that. Instead it was an intensive Youth Workshop and how to interact with them.

Overall, most of the information didn’t really apply to me because I work on an individual basis with [Click here for the rest]

The Best Weekend Ever

What is the best weekend ever? The best weekend ever is kicking off on Thursday with Eddie Izzard, then sneaking out early on Friday to relax with a movie, followed by Body Pump Saturday morning. After Body Pump there was the most deadly crepe for breakfast (remind me that I never need to eat that [Click here for the rest]

Adventure Day: Eddie Izzard + Thankful Things Thursday

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:28:10 +0000

I think the reason I’m so bored with my life right now is I do the same thing, week after week. I get up, I go to work, I go to the gym, I go home, I get up, I go to work, I go to school, I go home, repeat times a million.

So [Click here for the rest]

And I Keep Waiting

Last year around this time, I didn’t struggle with food or exercise. I just did it, and I was happy to. This year it seems like all the bad habits I never admitted to, but knew I had, have made permanent residence in my life. I wish things for to change, I make plans for [Click here for the rest]

Heart Run 2012 Fundraising

admin — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 23:46:34 +0000

I’m doing something I’ve never done before, and I didn’t have a lot of time to plan because I wasn’t sure if I would be participating in this race until just last weekend.

Last year, I ran this race in honor of my father who died suddenly from a heart attack a few years [Click here for the rest]

A Little Wayward while Finding a New Path

Food. It always comes back to food.

I eat too much “bad” and not enough “good”.

There are stretches of days where I can’t remember whether I’ve eaten any vegetables or fruit, probably because I didn’t. I’m not counting that one leaf of lettuce on a sandwich packed full of roast beef and mayo on [Click here for the rest]

Half Marathon Training Week: I don’t know

admin — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:40:40 +0000

Its not that I’m not training. Its not that I’m not working hard.

I just think I can work harder. I know I can work harder.

Sometimes the task of running 13.1 miles feels insurrmountable. As though I didn’t have nearly a year to prepare for it.

Maybe I just thought I’d be further along [Click here for the rest]

Half Marathon Training: Long Run

admin — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 16:00:34 +0000

My half marathon training has been kind of up and down these last couple of weeks. I’ve been sick, my lower back hurts sometimes, and I never do anything on the weekends like I’m supposed to.

On Monday we had staff training off site, so I ended up not going to the gym. However, [Click here for the rest]
