im gunna be sore

Today I was feeling a bit energetic so as soon as school was out I went over to the BU track and weightlifted for a half hour arms and legs, then it was out to the track where I knocked out 4 miles. I got home and was going to take a shower but the pool looked oh so inviting so I jumpped in and swam laps for a little over a half hour. Then I finally took my shower, and had some dinner. After swimming I am always starving, it is as if I hadn't eaten all day.

Colorado River

In May of our Freshman year Moe, Curly and I took off with a group Tom(Moe's Dad) was part of. We went camping and canoed down the river. Well some of us canoed others sat in the middle of the canoe and pretended to do some paddling. ;) I wish I had done more of this type of stuff. Who knows, maybe there is still time.

switch

I just did the minimum two miles today, then I went for a swim today. It was so refreshing. The first swim of the year is always great. I remember how much I love the water. I did laps for an hour this afternoon.

Lifted arms and legs today. 4 miles completed

Walked around Six Flags all day from noon to 10:14pm

Deepest Fear

Being inadequate in my job, relationships and life in general.

Squishy Pot Roast Evaluation

High - Having a really good conversation with my TK. Thank You, Friend.
- Going to my first festival concert KROQ's Weenie Roast

Low - Two students being arrested and suspended for smoking pot before school.
- Two boys who wanted to get into a fight in the middle of my evaluation.

4 miles & weightlifting for the arms.

Hume Lake

This was taken when Paul and I had been dating for about 6 months. Hume has always been such a special place to me that I had to share it with him. It was a beautiful day. We rented bikes and rode around the lake, walked around camp and just enjoyed ourselves. It was a really great time. Man, I miss this place. Just seeing this photo makes me want to go back up there.

I did 4.5 miles today and 30 minutes of weights (arms and legs).

stupid soccer team

so i was a bit late getting out to my workout today. i was able to lift weights for 20 min and get in 3 miles before the soccer team closed down the track. i was a little bit upset. i wanted to get another mile in before heading home for some Forman steak, yams a little corn and salad. i hate having dinner alone...

I have been doing my minimum 2 miles during the week for the last two weeks, but I havent weight lifted in quite awhile. Today I changed and headed over to BU as soon as boys and girls club was over today. I weight lifted for a good half hour. Then it was on to the track and 4.5 miles. I met up with Jeri for the last half a mile, but it was getting late so I said see ya and headed home to shower and cook dinner. It was a good day but I have no wanting to do any grading or lesson planning right now... maybe I will just get up early tomorrow.

I want a hug

Despite public knowledge I like hugs.

Many people think of me as not a huggy person.

But in reality I am, I suppose that it depends on each individual as to how open to the hugginess I am.

Bubba Movie

Low - Being away from my Bubba for a whole week. Not that we see each other much normally but not even seeing him when I wake up in the morning was lame.

High - Seeing two movies on Friday. One in the afternoon before Paul came home and one in the late evening once he got home.

Fish

I swam for Serra during my four years of H.S. Each lane is matched up speed wise. I remember swimming so hard at practices so that I would be able to continue to move up lanes. If it hadn't been for swim I wouldn't have some of the incredible friendships that I have today.

Who knew

I love when people "play" with my hair.

Brushing it, braiding it, touching it.

I am not sure why but it makes me feel cared for and loved.

Apologize

I just realized that it has been almost two months since I have posted on here. A lot has been going on and blogging fell to the wayside. I am planning on jump starting this blog again.

Please stay tuned.

Last Night.
Back at BU track last night. I completed 5 miles. The first two miles I ran every other lap. That is quite a feat for me. Which means I jogged a mile just not in a row. By the end of the year I am hoping to be able to jog an entire mile.

During my 5 miles I saw many interesting things. Like a couple climbing up on top of one of the roofs at school it was interesting to see them find a way to get up there. Also some of my pet peeves were going on... these are probably unreasonable butit really bugs me when people try to jog/walk while talking annoyingly loud on their cell phones. It is only when on the cell phone, I dont really care if there is a group just chatting a bit while working out together or what not. Also when people stop to stretch in the middle of the track. HELLO others are still using the track please walk around to the other side of the fence where there is plenty of room to do the same thing!

So in closing... I went in 5 miles worth of circles. Oh yea, I also did 100 situps.

Today.
I did a mile and a half around the track today.

I plan on doing more in a bit, and some situps, even though my tummy is sore!

back on track

Tonight Paul and I were back out on the track. I did 2.5 miles, since Paul had been walking and on his feet all day he opted to do some weights and crunches along with 1.25 miles. We will be back on the track for the next 2 days together. Then on Saturday we will be on our own, and then the two of us can go on Sunday. That is as far into the future as I can see. I start my new job on Monday and I have no idea what that week will bring.

terrible poster

Sorry for the lack of posts. I can't believe it has been almost a month since I last updated this. My bad! I promise to make an effort so that doesn't happen again. Since my last post I have hit a few goals such as being able to run a whole lap. Once even a lap and a half (yes that is a big deal). Up until last weekend I was doing very well with going to the track everyday. However I missed almost a week of walking. OY. Tomorrow I shall go!

Accepting Donations

I am setting up a at my mom's for either the 2nd or 3rd weekend in April. I will be collecting items that anyone would like to donate (as long as it will fit in my 4runner) the money collected will be added to our team for the MS walk. Our goal is to raise $1,000.00 for this important cause, we have a little over $400 raised so far.

Please continue supporting me, my team and this cause in any way you can through donations (recyclables, items for the garage sale, online donations), prayer, being a workout buddy, or joining the MS walk. I greatly appreciate it and I know that we can make a difference in the lives of those who are living with MS.

Pregnant Beer

High- KROQ microbrew festival at the Santa Anita Race Track. Finding out my cuz is pregers.

Low - Hearing the words terminal in regards to my aunt.

Joy

Aunt Carol and Leslie Joy

A couple years ago we attended a retirement party for my Uncle Barry. It was a suprise party and the look on his face as he saw co-workers, neighbors, family and friends was priceless. He did not suspect a thing. Everyone had a great time.

Also a congratulations to Leslie Joy is in order as she has announced she is pregnant with her first child. We wish you a healthy pregnancy and a safe delivery. We look forward to meeting this little miracle sometime in August.

Paul and I went over to BU to get him a gym membership. It cost a pretty penny but we have put it off long enough. Now we can both go use bikes, elipticals and weights. I did a 5 min warm up on bike then did upper body weights. After that we walked on the track till it was time to go because Paul had to get to work.

Easy breeze walk. 2 miles nothing fancy.
