New Year's Resolutions!
Yes, tis the season to do so. I know a lot of people don’t see the point in making one, or evaluating a previous one, I mean why only strive to make yourself better and make a new start at the beginning of the year? You can do it at any time. I agree completely, but for me New Years Resolutions is something different, it’s a way for me to evaluate my year as a whole. You have your...

That awkward moment when your brother tells his...
“OMG Greg just told me not to get you pregnant LOL”
…I know we just started a relationship but DAMN. At least I know my brother is looking out for me?
My oh my.
I’m dying my hair back to normal… It’s weird. I’ve been dying my hair shades of red for 5 years. I LOVE having hair that looks like it’s on fire. Now I’m sitting on my sink with hair full of dye, going back to dark brown almost black.
My roots are too noticeable and New Years is days away, gotta look good!
WHICH REMINDS ME! I got the cutest fucking dress ever...

Ahem. GUESS WHO GOT ACCEPTED INTO THE PROGRAM TO...
This girl :D Which is awesome since the directer went over applications yesterday to accept. I met with her today, had an interview and after review my application and speaking with others she called and said she loves my enthusiasm, loves the high fitness goals I set for myself, and the way I want to work with children.
I start this program January 23rd :)
Starting my day off with a giant glass of water or...
I’ll probably eat oatmeal or cereal too… I’m leaving to go check out the Personal Training program in a few hours, I’m so excited to see what this school has to offer.
Today’s exercise is fun! I’m going ice skating with my brother, Aubs, and Hopie, then Aubs and I have a date after :) SO stoked for that. He just makes me crazy. Not to mention he said he would...
Why do I always look like I got beat?
I just peered down at my arm and it’s bruised with red streaking? This always happens, not specifically that but I always notice random things on my body that make it look like I was beat.
Weird.

I just made the best dinner ever, my god it was...
I made a little pasta, a lot of steamed green beans (fresh), and a bit of beef that had been roasting in the crock pot all day.
It was so good… I am so full.
So tomorrow I have an appointment at a local...
I’m actually pretty excited!
I’ve really been wanting to get an Associates in Sports Training, a Bachelors in Psychology, and a Masters in Sports Psychology.
I’ve had a hard time finding schools that have what I need, but I looked into a trade school and it seems a bit perfect.
2011 has been a great year.
I learned a lot about myself. I figured out what I want to do with my life. I got hard core into running. I ran a 6:37 mile. I ran quite a few races. I made amazing new friends. I met the best man ever.
But it’s also been hard. I got injured badly. Twice. I’m still not fully recovered from my ankle injury, it’s very weak. My hamstring injury got me out of running as much as I...
Today is busy busy!
I’m going to make my tattoo appointment, go to PP, get some hair dye, and find a new years eve dress.
Oh, and I have to work, but I have my priorities you know :P
I can't wait to go to the gym tomorrow.
Listening to my mom brag about losing weight...
Yea, she lost 20 pounds, but she did it by not eating. Congradufuckinglations.
I can’t support her and be happy for her because of it. I used to have an eating disorder, I barely got over it a year ago and now she’s being a wonderful role model for me.
I told my brother to put a bow on Aubs and give me...
I think he might <3
Bah, Christmas kinda sucked lol. We didn’t have much money since we just spent 2000+ on saving our dog, truth be told I’s rather have him here anyway. I got some designer jeans thanks to Hopie, some VS stuff, this amazing series of books (Aubs knows me best), another book, this gorgeous jacket thanks to my brother and Hopie for picking it, then some lotions. Oh,...
Man, I swear every time I watch an Ironman race I...
There’s just something about seeing all of these athletes come together with so much passion and dedication it’s ridiculous. Everyone has their own story. Everyone has their own challenge. Everyone there has sacrificed something to be there and live that moment.
Chrissie Wellington is my freaking hero. She crashes her bike 2 weeks before the Ironman World Championship, is behind the...
Finally made my shake!
Going to watch the Ironman World Championships (finally!) since there’s too much snow to go out and do anything. Thankful for a white Christmas at least :)
Hope everyone enjoys their holiday! Also hope you get just what you want, I know I did.
That awkward moment when you really want to make a...
Man I really want one too.

person: i want an iphone
another person: i want a laptop
another random person: i want video games
me & my fellow runners: *presents christmas list consisting entirely of running clothes, shoes or a watch*
and we say please because we're nice like that (:
I've hinted at EVERYONE I want new running stuff, need new running stuff. We'll see how that goes tomorrow.
So we're having an early Christmas at my brother's...
It’s just going to be me, him, Aubrey (his best friend whom I ADORE), and Hopie, (his sister). We’re going to eat food, exchange gifts, watch Christmas movies, watch hockey, finish the season of House we’re on, and smoke some hookah.
I made brownies, but I think they might kill someone with the amount of chocolate in them… Oops.

DUDES! It's almost tattoo time :D
I promised my mom I’d wait until after Christmas to get it (why til after I couldn’t tell you), but I’m getting “No victory without suffering” written down my spine in Elvish. HOPEFULLY next week! I need to call my friend and set it up but I am stoked.
That is a Tolkien, particularly LOTR: Return of the King, quote, but it applies to so many aspects of my life. My...
Who does lunges down the isles of grocery stores?
This girl!
I got really funny looks, but what else am I going to do at the grocery store? Might as well amuse myself somehow.

I’m not in the 5K and 10K club anymore. It was a very fun race and very encouraging. I was able to keep up with the second place female and pass her on the last sprint. The encouraging part was telling a lot of people that this was my first…
You sir are bad ass. Well done!

Runners problems!
After the Rock N` Roll marathon my toe nail fell off, it was already black but finally fell off.
It FINALLY grew back, but it grew in black and bruised again. Today it fell off.
Runners are destined to have horrible feet, or at least I am.
-facepalm-

Before I run off to the gym for the next 3 or 4...
Life is not about being thin. Life is not about a thigh gap. Life is not about that stupid number on a scale.
I can’t tell you how fed up I get with people who are obsessed with numbers and being skinny!
You should want to be healthy and fit. You should eat right and get lots of exercise. Go fall in love with a sport. Go do something you said you could never do, prove yourself wrong!
My...
Does anyone else love being sore as much as I do?
I hate when I’m not sore - it makes me feel like I didn’t do enough.

I want to follow you guys!
Next year will be a long year :)
So far I’m doing these things, in this order:
-5K Color run -10 mile race -Colfax Half Marathon -Spartan Race -Warrior Dash -Rock N`Roll Marathon
Bring it on! I’m excited for all these races. I need to learn to swim too. Yup. Need to swim. And I need to run 2500+ miles, hopefully more like 3000. In the year obviously.
Shit is going down in 2012.
Chelsea was spawned from hell...
She’s a new trainer at my gym and just started teaching Athletic Training Class. I love that class and have been wanting to work with her so I figured why not.
She is a fucking trainer spawned from hell to kick the lazy out of people’s asses.
Our warm up had me pouring sweat… So many sprints, and lunges, and lateral lunges, and backwards lunges, and little hops, and giant...
