My Life as I Know It

So I've now run 5 half marathons!
The Seattle Rock n Roll --what a blast that was!--was this past weekend and I'm not even stiff.
In fact I ran a fast 5K with my running group today quite nicely.
The only down side during the weekend was when I put on my bikini (the one that displays a really nice cleavage) to sit in the hot tub and my boobs didn't really fit in the cups quite as well. They sort of kept floating out when the suit relaxed in the warm water. Yikes!!
How come all the outfits you thought would look fantastic after losing 20 lbs suddenly look downright nasty?? Very strange. Very mysterious.....oh well, nothing another shopping trip won't fix, right?! :)

• I am now 119lbs, a scant 4lbs from what should be my ideal weight!
• My abs are coming along though I still have a tiny bit of belly fat over them--but no muffin top!
• I have arm definition.
• My half marathons are a breeze.
• I'm positioning myself nicely for a couple of A+'s in my summer classes (for my BBA).

Life is coming along just fine about now for the most part....and anything that's not I can handle.

On Your Marks, Get Set, GO!!

I have now run 4 half marathons!

Delta Half Marathon-August 2007- 2 hours 27 min
Whitbey Island Half Marathon-April 2008 - 2 hours 46 min
Disneyland Half Marathon-August 2008 - 3 hours 4 min (recovering from injury)
April Fool's Half Marathon-April 2009 - 2 hours 37 min

Not bad, huh? A little on the slow side, but I think I can get faster now that I'm going to the Wednesday night running room tempo training sessions.

Next up on the agenda:

Run for Light 5K
Science Fair Run 5K
Seattle Rock'nRoll Half Marathon
Harrison to Haney 100K relay-team of 8 girls



Okay now I have a bone to pick with some of you ladies out there! How many times have I heard some dimwit say "just eat the fries, drink a milkshake. You may as well enjoy yourself because you'll never look like you're 16 again."

Yah? Well tell that to my ass which is getting smaller and firmer by the month! I weigh 129 lbs with a goal of reaching 122 by May 31 and I look pretty damned hot already. A little consistent ab and butt work on the ball and some weigh training every day is beginning to pay dividends as well. So go ahead, eat your greasy fries and guzzle your milkshakes. Ain't no way YOU'LL ever look good again.

As for me, I'm headed for hottyville! Yippeee!

Oh and if you want to tell me off, I'll be the one out running in the skimpy little top and that cute little running skirt.....

Okay so I know its been a long, long time since I've been here but, hey, I'm here now!


Here's the scoop:

1. I am now in my 3rd year of my BBA in Accounting program
2. I have run 3 half marathons and am in training for my 4th
3. ummm....oh! I got a new haircut that is fabulous!!!
   

But what I really wanted to talk to you about is "men". You know how they are always kind of a mystery. Well actually you don't realize they are mysterious because, as women, we think we understand men. Only I have to tell you ladies, we actually don't. We think they think like we think. They don't. We think they are as complex as we are. They're not.

On that note, I am now going to direct you to this well-known missive (this word is indicative of the impact of my college education! cool huh!):

"He's Just Not That Into You!"

--by Greg Behrendt & Liz Truccillo

If there is any book that every single woman, young and old, should read, it is this one.

I kid you not.

Here I am!

All right then. Here I am again to tell all of my fans and admirers (oh I know you're out there! don't be coy!)just what I am up to. So, I've now run two half marathons (badly), had two running injuries after each one (damn), finished half of my four year stint of university towards my BBA in Accounting, won a renewable $4000 scholarship (that's $8000 smackeroonies people!!), and already worked 6 full time weeks through my summer vacation. I'm only going to work 7 weeks total and then live the life of Riley as much as humanly possible. Perhaps I'll go shopping, have Tim Horton's coffee three times a day, work on my tan.... Anyways, I've signed up for the Disneyland Half Marathon on the labour day long weekend this year which should be very exciting. They have this "thing"--a megatron, or meglatron screen or something --that projects a gigantic image of your humble person sweating and groaning as you weave and sway drunkenly down the third base line in the Angel's stadium to finish the race. That should be memorable. (oh lord.)

As far as my spiritual life goes, I must confess that I am not attending church at all now. I am tired of feeling manipulation in any form and am particularly rebellious these days. I have decided that I will go when I feel like going and not when I don't.

Car Accident

In other news, I had a car accident. I have this motto for my life. It goes "If you are going to sin, sin big!". I kind of borrowed that from Martin Luther.... In other words, why smash into one car when you can take out two?! And how, you ask, did I manage this extravagant feat? Well, I'll just tell you. I was leaving the entrance of my complex one morning. There were cars parked all down the street to my left and to my right blocking my view and a zillion cars whizzing back and forth. In order to get out, you have to wait for an opening and then floor it. So I look to the left. I look to the right. I look to the lefttt. I look to the righttttt, look to the right, there's an opening, looking to the rightttt, FLOOR IT! Right into the rear quarterpanel of this little Mazda truck coming from the left which coincidentally is the exact same color as the wet pavement. I stop dead but the spiteful bastard in the truck keeps going. in a clockwise semi-circle. kind of like in slow motion with his rear end circling around more and more until he finally is stopped by this ridiculous parked car in his way. Everyone is fine. Both of those vehicles are in sad shape. Mine is perfectly fine except for the licence plate torn off the front and laying in a somewhat twisted condition beside the truck hub cap. The two men whose vehicles I have likely totalled are nice and philysophical (sp). "No one is hurt. That's the main thing." I wonder if they will be saying that tomorrow...? I'll be long gone by then, thank the Lord. Anyways, there you have it. Dot the scourge of the road... stay out of my way if you know what's good for youse!

See Dot Run!

You can congratulate me now!! I ran my first half marathon on August the 12! That is a big "21K" for the uniformed in our midst. Nevermind that it took me 2 hours and 27 minutes and I strained the thing that runs along the side of my knee...I did it! The medal sucks but at least I got one anyways! Hurray for me! Now I have to bike for a week or two until my knee is back to normal. Oh well, that's the way it goes. I'd swim too except for my NEW TATTOO!!! What a wild woman, hey!?! And no one better call it a 'tramp stamp' either or they will have to deal with me, okay? On the other hand, what do I care about the opinions of the uncool anyways! All the same, keep it to yourselves unless you have something supportive to say.

I DID pass my first year by the way. For the second term, I ended up with the following:

Business something------- A-
Computer Systems--------- A
Financial Management----- B+
Macroeconomics----------- B+

Not too bad, I'd say.

My weight is now down so far, I only really have another 10 pounds to go before reaching my ideal weight!

Off to the Races!

Ummm...okay, so I lied. I never did reach the "Imgoingtoacethesetests" phase and second midterms are upon me. Very dismal, really, but I'll pass, don't worry.

Now I will impress you with my progress in the running department! I have run 2-5K races and 1-8K race! I was safely and securely ensconsced well within the middle of the pack each and every time which is very respectable. I am signed up for another 2-10K races in April as well. And I continue to shape up and drop pounds--you'd be very impressed if you could see me.
