"I've had bowls of soup with more depth than you have. "

I have found myself becoming too overly ambitious. Anybody else ever have that problem? I'm definitely running out of burners so to speak so nothing really goes to the front or the back and because of that nothing is sitting on the counter to cool yet. As you may or may not know, I've created quite a bucket list for myself. I've often been told that I don't need to worry about this or that yet but I really don't think that's true at all. If you don't start early, how on earth can you expect to get everything done? In case you think my bucket list is comprised of things like "buy a new car, learn to snowboard (check!), learn to sew (hmm...maybe I should add that...)" I must inform you that that's not the case. Even though those are certainly worthy goals, I have a problem with thinking a little too big. Latest additions to the list include: write a book, complete a triathlon and start a small business. WTF IS WRONG WITH ME? On the bright side, there certainly are things I've already crossed off the bucket list like complete a marathon, leave the country, take a Spanish class, and finish college. Regardless of how long the list is, I should spend more time being proud of how far I've come instead of how far is left to go.

P.S. - I've lost 11 pounds! Woooo hooo!

Lovin the Hills Race Report

Guess what I did this weekend??? I was a very good girl and asked my coach very nicely if I could please please please do the Lovin' the Hills 6 mile trail race and because he's the best he gave me the green light to participate . So, I did my very first trail race on Saturday! I'm not necessarily a stranger to trails but I definitely wouldn't say we're friends. Trail running goes on the same list as all of those really great athletes I "know" and am Facebook friends with and want to be able to be real friends with but I'm too intimidated to try. You know what I mean right? Anyway, I've run trails before and volunteered at many a trail race but I've never actually "raced" myself so this was going to be a fun new experience. The site wasn't far from my house and since I'd waited to sign up for various reasons, I didn't have to get up too too early to get there in time for race day registration. I drove to Jeffer...

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 10K Race Recap

Wow, what a title right? Although I also could have titled it the greatest race of my life. Wanna know why? Yeah I thought you might. The week leading up to the race wasn't a great one. Stress at work, general grumpiness etc. etc. etc. So I really wasn't expecting much as far as performance but I wanted to get a 10K in really badly before the marathon relay this Saturday so I thought What the hell and signed up. The atmosphere at Komen events is like none other. Pink everywhere and people....so...many...people. For someone who hates crowds (i.e. ME) there are few things that will lure me to a crowded place. Races just tend to be one of those things. Anyway, there was a great survivors parade and all kinds of booths and music and general funness. What there wasn't plenty of was parking. Which I guess is the norm for an event of this caliber. Survivors' Parade Great Ladies I never got the chance to meet... Seriously packed at the start! Autumn Alexis, The Colonel and I g...

My Life is Awesome

Do you ever just wake up, take a big breath of fresh air and feel totally grateful to be alive? Ok, so I don't. But I also don't wake up wishing I hadn't anymore and that is certainly something to be grateful for. You see, I went through a very long, very dark phase in my life where every day was not a blessing, I couldn't enjoy a pretty day and I begged the earth to swallow me whole. I had things on the horizon and did a pretty damn good job of faking every normal human emotion so no one knew what was going on. The only one I didn't have fooled was myself and unfortunately at that time, mine was the only voice I heard and the only opinion that mattered. Without going into detail I'll just say that there was a point when I hit rock bottom. And as I sat there and finally felt solid ground under me I realized that I was no longer falling. What was more important was I realized the true benefit of rock bottom, the ability to put your feet on the ground. When I ...
