weekend in review...
Okay… where to start? How about with the fact that for the first time this year I have flaked out on a long run because I didn’t want to go alone… but… I think it was just what I needed. Instead of running long, I ran fast on the treadmill and did 5.25 miles on Sunday morning. After the 3 day weekend the week before, my training schedule was slightly off kilter anyway. So I...

Colorgenics (via whenmysexyisright) →

Every few months I take the colorgenics test (click here if you want to try it). The colorgenics test is done “by simply choosing the colors you feel most drawn to…. you will be shown an insight into how other people see you and how your inner subconscious mind is truly feeling about yourself…
Here’s mine:
Enough is enough - and you feel that you’ve had...

best roommate ever!
I came home to dinner, plated and ready for me!! Roasted pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes, and cucumber salad - Lizardeebee is the best!!
As for tonight, I found some time to swim between swim lessons and my second round of dive. I did a quick 800 yards of mostly freestyle. I am hoping to work back up to 2000 yards in an hour…

Thanks for the abs love!
Okay, so I got on here to write about my run, but I am just so overwhelmed by the love you guys gave my GPOYW abs picture! Thanks soooo much!!! I really don’t know where they’re coming from, because I am really only focusing on running. But hey, I’ll take visible abs! (it must be fat loss and the support they are providing for running)
Anyway, tonight I ran in between lessons...

if one is good, two must be better...?
It’s been nearly a year since I started my credit score/financial rehab - and it’s going well! I still get caught up with a little more spending than I should, but I think I am really on the right track. I wouldn’t say I am good with money, I would say that I am not too bad anymore. I would also say that I have a good understanding of the way that money/credit/everything works.

long run, diving, babysitting, and redecorating...
Yesterday Jenny and I did a long run of 9.65 miles at an 11:45 pace. It was nice and comfortable, though it was very cold in the morning, and there was a lot of ice. There were some close calls on the ice, but luckily all were during walk breaks! It was a fantastic way to start the day.
I also coached my dive lessons yesterday, and am about to head out to sub for the other diving instructor...

5.1 mi run tonight
I hit the treadmill at HCC in between my lesson with Addy - the cutest little kid in the world and daughter of a super awesome paleo caveman - and high school dive practice. I set the mill for 30 minutes and started out for a 2:1 at 8.5 and 4.5. I ended up doing a 4 min run as my third interval, and at 3.08 miles grabbed my shirt to wipe my sweat and accidentally stopped the treadmill - UGH! I...

Tuesday's workout and run
With impending snow, FCPS canceled after school activities, so my dive practice was canceled, but Herndon did not cancel classes, so I still had to teach until 6:30. After dive I booked it home to change, then over to sport and health for an in door workout.
I started with some weights - 3 sets of 10-12 of chest press, chest flys, military flys, tricep extensions, low rows, lat pull downs - then...

sharpied my 'stylewatch' - now I feel better
what do you mean, what do I mean? I sharpied it. I went through and circled what I liked to come up with a list of things I want for my wardrobe. That isn’t normal? Oh… well you should try it! It’s fun to write all over a magazine with a sharpie and get inspired by trends and how to work them into your own personal style!
afternoon dreams
While we continue to wait for snow this evening, I am sitting a work a little pissed that I still have to teach at 5:30 (when the snow will be falling/roads will start getting dangerous), dreaming of running when it’s warm and of all the wonderful warm weather outfits I will be able to wear. I’m layered like crazy today and freezing.
I really want it to be warm. I also really want to...
Blonde on Blonde
Last night I realized that I have let pop culture influence me just a little too much. I love pop culture… I AM pop culture. But you have to have a balance. I used to have to read literature, for school. Then I did it for fun, but somewhere along the way, I lost my path and have been filling my brain with 100% pop culture! Lauren Conrad’s book, Britiney’s new single, Bravo 24/7...

oh Monday!
I woke up early this morning and in a wonderful mood! I got dressed quickly, not one of my best outfits, but it’s cozy and warm, and that is all I can ask for today, and then went over to see Rowan and visit with my mom. She’s pretty excited about being a full time seamstress! It’s awesome because I sent her a link to a really cute dress from modcloth and she found a vintage...

first long run of 2011
I just got back from a 9.42 mile long run with Jenny on this cold and blustery morning! Weather.com said that with the wind chill it felt like 12 F. We just layered up and went to it, trotting along at a nice and easy 11:54 pace using 2:2 intervals. It really is a great way to cover a nice amount of distance! I am hoping though our training that we can get to a 3:2 interval and maybe drop...
Saturday....
Quick (I took it easy too) workout with Jillian via 6 week 6 pack. My upper back/shoulders are still pretty sore, so it just focused the whole workout on my lower abs.
Now I’m off to coach diving for 3 hours. Hopefully I will remember to take it easy and not feel beaten up like I did last night!

Great Illustrations! →
My (well, Lizardeebee’s, but I stole… I mean adopted him) Popop is selling some note cards of his illustrations for only $15. They are BEAUTIFUL! I totally suggest that you bring letter writing back and get some!!
thoughts on highlights...
I was talking with my dear Erin over gchat the other day and she asked me how often I touch up my highlights. The back story here is that I like to pretend to be a hairdresser. I worked in a salon when I was younger and learned how to highlight/dye hair. Before that I started colouring/highlighting my mom’s hair when I was 13. (I really don’t know what she was thinking letting a 13...
