Hi! I’m so excited currently. I have a half marathon tomorrow and I am so ready for it. I even spent, like, $128 on running clothes today. It’s not like I don’t already have twenty Nike Tempo shorts....
Well, hello! I know… who am I to show up after being gone for over a week? In my defense, I have been super busy. Frankly, I had no motivation to blog anyway because I felt like I was constantly comp...
Hello! I have twelve more days in Virginia then I am home in Portland for a while before I head to… Okinawa, Japan! No joke. I am going to Japan for, like, two years for my first tour of the Marine C...
Hiya. Long time now talk, eh? I apologize for never updating. But I’m here now and that is what matters, right? Let me rewind a bit and tell you what’s been going on in my life… Last Friday I had to ...
Hi! Sorry I have been lacking on posting over the weekend, but I have actually been busy. I spent Friday and Sunday cleaning up at the NASCAR event (more on that later). I got three hours of sleep Sa...
Hello, hello. I never wanted a blog that solely focused on my past eating disorder, how I’m still struggling, and how much I love running. Well, that’s a lie. My blog is mostly about how much I love ...
Let’s just get this out of the way… Monday: 6.79 miles @ 7.28 + 10 minutes on the elliptical + 4.10 miles @7:07 Tuesday: 8.82 miles @ 7:06 Wednesday: Field Day Thursday: 8.88 miles @ 7:06...
Happy Saturday! I haven’t done much today besides run (duh), sleep, and eat (double duh). I am even eating Chinese food with lots of soy sauce as I write this. And what’s even better is that the barr...
The Paleo Diet for Athletes: A Nutritional Formula for Peak Athletic Performance I first heard of the Paleo Diet through runner Dean Karnazes. I was always very interested by the diet, but I knew I c...
Hello! I wish I could update daily, but it’s really difficult to fit in with four hours of liberty. During my time off after school, I work out, eat, call my mom, and get ready for the next day. I co...
Happy Easter! My Easter started off with a good breakfast. This is my normal breakfast… I usually eat melon or cantaloupe with a banana, apple, and/or pear. I don’t eat all three. I eat a banana and ...
Hello, hello! I know it’s been like another two months since I last talked to you guys. Let me fill you in… So, I left for MCT (Marine Combat Training aka a Miserable Camping Trip) February 14th in N...
Hello! I know I said I would be back in 29 days from MCT, but I still have not received mu laptop in the mail from my mom. No blogging equals a disappointed Christy. However, I’ll b back in no ...
Before I make you depressed that I am leaving for 29 days for MCT in North Carolina, where I doubt I will be able to blog, I will talk about… As you may know, I signed up for the 45 mile challe...
Happy Saturday! I started my day off with 15 minutes on the elliptical, an hour spin class, and a five-mile run. I felt fast so hopefully my pace was up there. It will be my last run until God knows ...
If there is one thing I learned from being away from home for three months is that you need to appreciate the small stuff. There are so many things we do take for granted and I know how cliché that s...
It’s Friday! It’s raining here, but my mood is high. How is everyone doing today? Well, I have been tagged by Sarah for the 11 things survey. Holla. She’s beast. 11 things The Rules...
Hi! What’s up, ya’ll? I’m such an awful blogger. Not only do I leave for three months, I come back and I don’t even bother blogging. Truth be told, I don’t know what to ...
There is so much to say about my experience at boot camp and there is a football game on that i would like to watch as well. Honestly, I don’t remember much about the beginning of boot camp. Re...
And I am now a Marine. I’m back, guys. I won’t be back in Portland until February 4th, but still. I’m back and I am so excited to be home. As lame as it sounds, I am also excited to...
This will most likely be my last post so I decided to the accent vlog since I promised you guys a video a long time ago. Officially, I leave for boot camp on Monday and will be gone for three months....
Hey there! What is it now? Like three days until I leave? Man, I better my eyebrows waxed. Forget my legs. It’s No Shave November, if you didn’t know that already. I wish I wasn’t. ...
In my head, I say WIAW as “wha-yah”. Whatever the reason, let’s ignore it and get this started. Breakfast: Cottage cheese + peanut butter Puffins + banana Insert 12.55 mile trail ru...
What up, fellas! It is now seven days until I leave for South Carolina. Expect a countdown everyday now. I don’t want you guys to forget. I don’t have my life planned out at all. I have ...
One week. Next Monday I will be on a plane for boot camp for the Marines. Oh my gosh. I can’t believe it. I have these moments where I am deadly afraid and today I actually wanted to go. I...
Hi ya’ll! I have some exciting news. Yes, it has to with running. What else would it be about? Last week I covered 49+ miles. Or maybe it was 47. All I know is that I am slowly coming out of my...
Recently I read You Are an Ironman: How Six Weekend Warriors Chased Their Dream of Finishing the World’s Toughest Triathlon. I bought this book because it was actually recommended… on Th...
Who am I? Seriously. I am not a lazy blogger. I think about blogging a lot, but unfortunately the majority of my day is spent at work behind a bakery case or an espresso machine. It’s either I ...
You guys should really get use to me being gone all the time. In a few weeks I will be gone for three months. Sorry to disappoint you. I know how much you all (maybe like two people) love me and my b...
Heya. Since I’ve been gone… I grew a mustache. Since I’ve been gone… I shaved it. Since I’ve been gone… I was called cute by one of my (male) coworkers after I sha...
