Happy Saturday everyone! I just love having a big test on Friday because then you get the whole weekend to not stress about anything! Test went great, I think I got at least a 90!
Thanks for you patience with the posts, but I definitely owe you guys this week! I’m headed to the mall today to do some research for a few installments of MODEL UNIVERSITY I will get one up tomorrow and a few more in the week. I am leaving on Friday to go to Colorado so this week will be a bit rushed but the blog is my number 1 priority so you guys won’t get the shaft again I promise J
I don’t usually wake up a second earlier then I have to on Saturdays to make it to work on time and this morning was no exception, so I am enjoying my breakfast at my desk, instant oatmeal:
I’m reading this amazing book right now called The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. It’s about the history of the worlds fair in Chicago, that may sound dull, but it is actually really interesting, and I like reading historical novels so it’s right up my ally! Half is about the way the fair came together, and the other half is about a murderer that terrorized the city during the fairs construction. It’s all true to which makes it extra creepy!!!
Yesterday’s run was, well, it was rough. I think it was a combination of the heat (about 88 when we went), the fact that I was hungry, and I was pretty sore from the last few runs. I felt like I weighted 500 lbs and I felt every step on my legs and knees! It was very uncomfortable and slow but I pushed as hard as I could and ended up running about 2 miles total broken up by .5 miles of walking. I’m proud I made it that far though with how I felt. I think I’m going to give my knees a break and hop on an elliptical instead on Sunday, I need to do some gym searching anyway so that’s a perfect excuse.
I was also going to share with you guys my super motivational playlist I listen to while running, it’s mostly rock because that’s pretty much all I listen to, it’s fast paced and really pumps me up!
My running playlist:
- Like a stone – Audioslave (warm up)
- Doesn’t remind me – Audioslave
- Next to you – Buckcherry
- Psycho – Puddle of Mudd
- Animal I have become – Three Days Grace
- Respect – Pantera
- Show me how to live – Audioslave (I LOVE Audioslave if you haven’t noticed!!)
- Sin with a grin – Shinedown
- Siva – Smashing Pumpkins
- Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide – Shinedown
- Animal Bar – Red Hot Chili Peppers (cool down)
And as promised I got a new sports bra, I was going to get a couple new ones but they only had extra smalls and larges at Target so I got the only sm/med I could find:
I can’t crop or edit pictures at work so sorry if these are a little shotty. Any way the bra is champion brand and it’s awesome! It fits like a swimsuit but is tight and gives great support! (can you see Bret trying to duck out of the way in the bottom right corner? haha)
And speaking of Bret, he was upset that I posted a unflattering pic of him on his 21st so to even out the score I’ll give you guys one of my embarrasing pics from my 21st:
That was toward the end of the night…you can probably guess what took place minutes after this picture was taken 
Friends don’t let friends take “3 wise men” shots!!

lol, glad to see you celebrated your 21st the right way. i’m sure i’ll have many many pics.
i bought a sports bra at target a looong time ago.. like back in high school. it shrunk a lot after washing. Maybe the quality has improved since then though?

Did you guys notice how weirdly big my arm looks in the sports bra pic? I took it in a mirror so hopefully it’s just from my arm being closer to the mirror then my body, otherwise I’m pretty out of porportion

oh and Grounded fitness, I’m sure your boobies are lovely
I used to be really flat chested in high school and I LOVED being able to get away with not wearing a bra! I kind of miss it now.

So glad that the test went well – hooray!!
Love your playlist!!

Thats so funny that you can even look glamorous while about to hurl!
August 3, 2008 at 9:21 am
i agree about the glamorousness!
as for the run i definitely think it was likely the heat. running in 85+ degree weather is SUCH a different experience from 60s or 70s. have you tried going out early in the morning at all? i bet you will be surprised at how easy it is in comparison!
August 3, 2008 at 9:32 am
Nice playlist. Looks like you copied mine.
August 3, 2008 at 9:34 am
Haha I love anything that includes glamorous and hurl in the same sentance
Thanks for the compliments!!!!
As for running in the morning…yes I have tried it, and yes it was much cooler, but I’m just not a morning person and if I depend on getting up early to get my runs in I don’t usually end up going. I just need to get my butt to a gym!!!
