Right on track..
Ran 5 miles today! Woo hoo. Half-marathong training is - literally - right on track. My knees are feeling a little loose so I gotta go back to icing them pretty regularly once I'm back in SLC, but other than that my shins aren't feeling too bad!

Valentine's Day Eve
'Twas the night before Valentine's Day and all through the house, the only creature that was stirring was - - MY BROTHER'S BRAND NEW PET LIZARD. So my brother got a new lizard today and it's a BAMF for sure! I proposed he name it Geronimo, but he has yet to decide. haha
So as you can probably tell I came home to visit this Valentine's/President's Day weekend for a little bit. It was a much needed and actually well desevered break to come home for awhile. Not only have I been feeling a tad homesick since it's been 6 or 7 weeks since I've last been home, but I've also been working my ass off this semester to keep on top of things and it's paying off! This weekend came at a great time and I luckily happened to have today off work so I thought I'd come up for a visit. And it's been great! I'm really happy to be here! :)
Today I tried yoga for the first time... my dad does the P90X workouts pretty religiously and today was yoga so I did it with him. It's actually kind of funny because earlier this week I was talking to "that guy" about how I had never tried yoga before but I wasn't in any hurry to either, so it was pretty ironic that 2 days later, my dad asks if I want to join him! As it turns out, I suck at yoga. I did not find an inner peace, my balance is horrible, it really hurt my knees and hip flexors, and I did not find it fun at all. Don't get me wrong, yoga is not as easy as it looks and for anyone who does yoga and loves yoga - kudos to you, man. Caaaause it was simply not my cup of tea.
Watching Inglourious Basterds for the first time tonight too! And it was AMAZING. Nothing like what I had expected, a hell of a lot more entertaining and sooooo incredibly well done! The acting, the score, the cinematography, the story line, the editing.... all stellar. I can see why it was nominated as Best Picture for an Oscar!! And honestly, I kinda hope it wins! Definitely going to have to see that one again... maybe I just ought to buy it... hmm. But anyways, yep, I'd recommend it to anyone!
One last thing - - I'm still smitten as hell this weekend... and it's a great feeling. :D Laters!

"I just felt like runnin'..."
Aight. So I went running and talked to *that* guy and now feel a hell of a lot better and less stressed AND smitten. haha Also, with the gorgeous 40 degree weather outside, how can you not be in a great mood?! That is all. :D
Und-ah Pressh-ah
Pressure, pushing down on me, pressing down on you no man ask for...
Yeah. I realized today that I have a ton of shit that I'm behind on this week and not a whole lot of time to take care of it. Later this evening I've got to really crack down and not get distracted and use my time wisely. Aahh I hate being stressed out....

Off right
Aahh - couldn't have started this Monday off better. 7:30 am spin class to work off all the junk I ate yesterday, delicious cup of coffee, and nice steamy shower - all before 9 am. Looks like it's going to be a gorgeous day!! Sun is shining, supposed to be mid-40s today and I'd say it's already there and it's not even noon yet! Sweet. Wish I didn't have to spend 7 of the next 9 hours cooped up inside... Aw well. Tomorrow! I still haven't gotten the new Facebook yet, which is kinda awesome. But at the same time I'm feeling kind of left out! haha
Leg feeling way better today. No pain when I woke up this morning, which is the first time in awhile so I'm glad that little blip is about over. At least, it better be about over.
Aight. Well I gotta get some chow. My blood sugar must be pretty low cause my hands are shaking like crazy.. I also need to wash my dishes and clean my bedroom but I don't know if I'll get around to that today cause my Mondays are go-go-go. Hate that. And also kinda love it... :) Laters.

Oh the fury.
So incredibly f*cking pissed off right now. But you know what, besides the stupid Saints winning, it was a pretty fantastic day today. Man, I'd love to just take someone out right now.
Christmas Day
IT'S [practically] CHRISTMAS DAY TODAY!!!!! I am so so glad today has finally come! I've been counting down the hours til kickoff since yesterday morning and am just sooo excited!! Also, got this day off to a good start; I got a new pound of fresh coffee at RoCo last night - the Peru - and it's pretty damn splendid. :) GO COLTS!!!!
Unfortunately yesterday I didn't have time to strength train. After work I headed straight over to mass (since today is for solely praising the football gods and all their glory haha), then to the grocery store to pick up the Super Bowl goods (BBQ pork sandwiches anyone?), then over to S's for a beer and chat, then RoCo to study til midnight, and fiiiinally home where I chatted with the roommates til ~2am. So it was go go go, I should have just gotten up earlier that morning to get 'er done, but it's whatev. I AM going running for sure today. The sun was just out a minute ago, so I'm hoping it comes back out or is not too chilly so I don't have to make 30 laps in the gym.

Saaaaaturday
At work today, got all my homework here to work on, but it's not really going that well. I'm finding other things to do that are just much more interesting! Which is fine cause I've got all weekend and am going to study with a good buddy at RoCo tonight... but I'd be awesome if I was a little more on top of it. Oh well.
So I've taken the past 2 days off to rest my shin splint/stress fracture and it has been awesome cause it doesn't hurt near as bad as it had been first thing in the morning. But I've got to get going again, I don't like not working out cause then I'm just a cranky-pants and don't feel nearly as good as when I get those endorphins going! Back at it today - just weight training - but we'll see how it goes.
Last night had a great discussion with the roommates about some shit that has gone down. Actually "great" might be a long shot... it was a much needed discussion that ended well.... but I guess I wouldn't say it was "great." Anyways, there's a lot of changes that we've all got to commit to and actually make happen, and to be completely honest, I have got to stop being such a bitch. Not that I'm even a bitch, but I've just got to cut it out and actually try. As of right now - 11 hours later - I can't entertain the idea cause I'm still pretty damn bitter, so I've got to work on changing my mindset this weekend.
I must have slept funny last night cause today my neck is so sore. I can't think of anything else I did yesterday that was weird to cause just the one side to hurt.... but it is actually the side of my neck that I usually hold my phone to my shoulder with. Maybe the fact that I do hold my work phone there in the crook of my neck is finally having an impact - like my PT told me it would - 1.5 years later. Damn it.
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!! Tooooootally cannot waiiiiiiiit!!! Gonna be an awesome game, my Colts are gonna rock the house. Can't wait. Favorite day ever. :D

Effin' Friday
Oh my God, this day... Got off to a horrible start - which is my fault - which in turn has put me in a shitty, pissed off mood. And it's only ten freaking thirty. I hope it turns around... cause I already just want today to be over. Also last night, I had a ton of dreams that were all relevant to today that I hope do not turn out to be true. It was so weird.... Anyways. I hope the day gets better!
