“I examine my own being, and find there a world, but a world rather of imagination and dim desires, than of distinctness and living power. Then everything swims before my senses, and I smile and dream while pursuing my way through the world.”

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | The Sorrows of Young Werther (via blogut)

Monday: Work all day then gym with the coworkers. Ran a faster 2 miles than usual. Lifted some weights to work on my legs and arms.

Tuesday: Work all day then hills and more weights. Nice and sore.

I think I may have convinced another crazy person to join our Tough Mudder team. I’m excited that some people want to do this.

2.9 miles today. Nice.

Challenges

Sat, 18 Feb 2012 18:27:02 -0500

This year is shaping up to be the one where I feel that I have been the bravest. I joined a team for the Tough Mudder challenge, I asked out that boy, I applied and go accepted into a pre-vet program.

I have no idea where all this has come from. It is causing me anxiety though but if I can get through all of these new challenges then I will only be better for it.

Oh PS, I ran 2.3 miles today. The farthest I have ever run before. I am so proud of myself. I better be in super shape for October. One day at a time.

Bravery

I was brave for one of the few times in my life a couple of days ago. Granted I wanted to puke and pass out in the process I managed to muster up all the courage I had in my 62 inch body. I’m not sure where it came from and I’m still surprised.

karmaplus:

“Our story is the story of the universe. Every piece of everyone, of everything you love and everything you hate, of the thing you hold most precious, was assembled by the forces of nature in the first few minutes of the life of the universe, transformed in the hearts of the stars or created in their fiery deaths.

And when you die, those pieces will be returned to the universe in the endless cycle of death and rebirth. What a wonderful thing it is to be part of that universe. And what a story, what a majestic story.”

Professor Brian Cox, Wonders of the Universe.

New Year

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:39:09 -0500

Let’s see, well since my last real post, I have lost a few pounds (like 2-3) with diet changes and exercise which is nice. I have been using the Nike Training Coach app which is pretty neat and it kicks my butt too. I’m working on strengthening my knees and legs to be able to run a 5k. So far I am able to run two miles. That is a pretty amazing feat from that girl in high school who could barely make half a lap around the track. I will get there eventually.

I also have been working on a my list of resolutions. I am going to have trouble with the reading 40 books one because I’m in school and the books I am looking into are 300-600 page books so perhaps those can count as 1.5 or 2. I am currently reading At Home by Bill Bryson and am in love. I was in love with his style and subject matter when I read A Short History of Everything.

Lets see my list includes doing an international bar crawl in the city, the usual go travel to fin places, go on my second World Vets trip and dance. I think these are reason able goals for this year.

By the way, I’ve been having a lot of zombie nightmares lately too. I think this 2012 thing is getting to me.
