I am so crafty. I made this baby tonight for $20. Yay I finally have a real medal hanger for my half marathon and warrior dash medals!
I think it is funny that I can actually feel myself change from bitch-mode to happy-camper after I eat a healthy breakfast.
Went on a 7am Camelback Mountain hike :) (Taken with Instagram at Camelback Mountain Summit)
IT’S AMAZING…
…how many bad boyfriend-broke-up-with-me food choices can be presented to one person in a matter of a week. Guess I better stay focused on the gym.
ARIZONA, YOUR HEAT IS BRUTAL
I did 4.0 miles of intervals in 102* heat. It is amazing how well it kicks your ass.
WEIGHT LIFTING LEADS TO GOOD BLOOD-DRAWING VEINS
So said the lady drawing my blood for my physical this morning. Well, that’s good to know… I have noticed that the veins in my arms pop out a bit. Huh.
GPOY… Took this pic before work this morning. I think I see progress in my midsection?…
LIFT TO LIVE LONGER
A decent article considering it is from Yahoo… I do find it weird that it starts out talking about lifting to live longer and then turns into an article about how we sit too much, but it had good intentions. The references come from Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove, who are the people that wrote “The New Rule of Lifting” and “The New Rules of Lifting for Women”.
Notice that he talks about ladies lifting heavy? YUP.
