Eye of the Tiger

Runs

World, I did it! I finished my first marathon in 6:11. Ran 19.5 miles and walked/limped 6.7 miles. What an incredible experience filled with rain, tears, blisters, and laughter! Once November comes around I'll be training again. Goal for 2011: finish under 5.

Songs

Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars - these words...wow.

Current Obsessions

Toning up - back to the squats, dips, crunches, etc

Women of Influence - Michelle Obama, Queen Rania of Jordan, Donna Lasit, Evelyn Santoso. These women prove that it is possible to have it all and be successful: God (don't know about QR and MO, but I know DL and EW do), family, love, career. Something these ladies have in common is they all have supportive, like-minded, influential husbands. This is what I'm praying for. Prayers are powerful people.

Water - my body yearns for it in mass quantities still, post marathon

Getting on The Amazing Race - JoeB is editing the vid now.

This person who'll remain nameless for now - prayers are powerful people.

Orange of the Day

Runs
In just a few days I'll be completing my first marathon. I'm feeling all sorts of emotions now - I'm anxious, nervous, excited, scared, and more. My goal of finishing will hopefully be accomplished. Pretty sure it will, 90/10.

Movies
Have not seen any lately, haven't had the time! But my list of movies to see is growing like a plant on steroids (aka MiracleGro).

Songs
Putting a playlist together for the marathon. If you have any upbeat songs send them my way por fa!

Current Obsessions
Peaches - nice crisp ones
Clean spaces - which means my room and closet need work
Nipping procrastination in the bud's behind - its as if the mere sight of textbooks make my brain think procrastinate now
Living with exciting uncertainity of what will happen next - but knowing that everything will be exceedingly alright with God by my side

Reads
My A+P textbook has become the read of the moment. Though I have so many books on my list to read once I get the time.

Wishes
Thank you for all the beautiful birthday wishes! I really appreciate each and every one of your friendships!
