This view just warms and breaks my heart. I get to see it all the time.

Did I mention I live in Alaska?

In Alaska, we have all sorts of fun weather. All week the high temperature has been -2, the low, a chilly -10. Saturday morning it was kind of in the middle, [Click here for the rest]

When things don’t go your way

…do it anyway.

No use crying over split milk, as they say

Sure it won’t be nearly as comfortable, running in your regular leopard print underwire bra instead of the soft cup that you designated for working out. Sure you wore that shirt last week to work, but forgot to take it out of [Click here for the rest]

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:16:22 +0000

I was kind of remiss in my blogging duties after my trip to California, visiting the ASICS America headquarters as the winner of the Gel Nimbus 13 Sweepstakes. While my friend Rachel and I were there, we picked up a little swag, but I neglected to share pictures of the goodies with you. So today, [Click here for the rest]

Finding Balance, or School Started Today

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 07:34:13 +0000

School started today. Last semester I didn’t even try to attend. This semester I’m much more motivated, but things are not in order, such as I haven’t got my financial aid to purchase my books. Currently this is causing me a lot of stress.

Not going to the gym in nearly a week is causing [Click here for the rest]

The Plank Row

This is the last week I have before classes start so I really want to kill it at the gym before I become a slave to text books.

I’ve been noticing that I’m losing my concentration pretty quickly; I don’t want to stick with anything longer than 20 minutes or so. [Click here for the rest]

Self Sabotage and Commitment

Yesterday I finally made up my mind to go to the circuit training class at my gym.

Every day I think “maybe today will be the day” but yesterday I really felt it.

It was basically like any other day. I was running a bit behind; my boss had stepped out of the office [Click here for the rest]

Tuesday Lunch

I didn’t go to the store yesterday and prepare my meals for the week, so I did it today. Really what that means is, I ate out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

How did this Pepsi sneak in here?

Breakfast was my usual skinny mocha with sugar-free orange, and a blueberry muffin.

For lunch [Click here for the rest]

An Ice Carving from 2011

I’m not really big on making New Years Resolutions. Do I set goals? Yes. Do I follow through with them? Sometimes. Last year I didn’t set any real goals for myself, and I think last year was a complete success in terms of how awesome my life was. I [Click here for the rest]

Running toward 2012

Its a new week, and soon it’ll be a new year. I’ve been thinking about making a recap post of this year, because lets be honest, it’s been pretty damn epic. I’m sure I’ll get around to it soon.

In the mean time, my schedule for this week goes as followed:
