Blades of Glory

We watched that movie last night and I think I laughed more in 93 minutes than I have laughed all year. It was probably also one of the dumbest movies ever, but funny balanced dumb. It was truly mind bottling.
I also think it's a glorious day when I can still scare Caleb or any of you. (Read Caleb's Facebook entry.)
I've done 1/2 hour on the treadmill today and my nails are beautiful. I am anxious for good weather again so we can get on our bikes.

A bit lazy

Hello family,
I have been pretty darn lazy this week, I blame the economy and my sinuses. I cannot seem to stay healthy for more than 4 weeks, it is mildly annoying. School also started this week, so no worries I have been keeping myself very busy with studying and using my calculator. I have also been reading lots of short stories, I cannot wait to get the book because then I can workout and read in one fell swoop, I must be a woman because I can multi-task. I realize Ben Sather and Caleb are both rolling their eyes at that comment.
I hope you guys are doing better than me with the workouts. Talk soon. Besos.

Getting There

I am feeling great about my workouts this week.  I have actually stayed on my running schedule and it finally paid off.  Yesterday morning, I weighted in and discovered that I have 5lbs. to go before I reach my ideal weight.  At least this was the ideal weight that my personal trainer told me we were going to work at achieving 3 years ago.  

Well, I am getting there.  And even if it has taken me 3 years, I am glad that I am almost there.  

woot!

Last night, I ran the furthest and for the longest amount of time, that I have ever done! I ran over 2 miles and for 26 minutes! I know I was taking it nice and slow, but that was good. And, b/c I took it so slow, I could've kept running. I wasn't dying! That was awesome. And now, the actual motivation I have been waiting for has hit me. The runs I've done before last night were still kind of discouraging. But last night - I felt really good!

Then, Evey woke up at 4:30 this morning, and my zest for life is not quite as zesty. Love you guys!

Of Greek and Fashion

Well, I'm sitting here in the library with some time to kill before my Greek class starts.  So far things have gone well this semester.  I'm trying to handle the suddenly overflowing classroom: enrollment is up 50% this semester, from 2 students to 3.  What can I say?  Word got around about how awesome our class was, what a monster teacher I am, etc.  Today we will be covering deponent, 2nd aorist, and liquid verbs: should be a doozy!  We may also cover some pronouns and work on translating sentences of such linguistic depth and theological import as "Jesus was a man, and Jesus is the lord of men."

My other highlight of the day was that a complete stranger in the library said he liked the color combination of my outfit.  It sounds suspiciously like a backhanded compliment but I'm still taking it, especially since, as I said, this was a complete stranger and I feel like backhanded compliments are more likely to come from so-called "friends."

Anywho, that's my blog o' the day.  No run today, although yesterday was a good workout and Wednesdays are our biggest run of the week beside Saturdays.  So I don't feel so bad about it.  I think you have to cut yourself a little slack from time to time.  No point running a marathon if it doesn't improve the way you treat yourself.

Training!

Hello family!
I just got back from a righteous run on the treadmill because it is too bloody cold outside to do anything. Kristin would probably disagree because she is extremely hardcore, so hardcore that she made Thea and I do training every day in Vegas. I credit her with the fact that I ran 4 miles. She rules.
School starts tomorrow, so I am extremely busy mourning my last day of freedom for a few months, but alas, I think I shall survive.
How is everyone else doing? Did anyone order the coats that the Obama girls wore to the Inauguration? Apparently, quite a few people did.
Love.
