HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay so I am going to make this a quick post! BUT

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I ran the Murray City 5K and I actually managed it! I mean I did not literally run, only for a total of 5 minutes of the whole thing, but the fact that I finished it, is just amazing! Ashton found me at the end and walked/ran the rest of the way with me then my uncle meade showed up and helped out too. I felt like throwing up after, but once I got some water and a banana, I felt SO accomplished! It really makes me want to work on the next year. But one thing I do not suggest... wearing shorts that are too shorts, or you will chaff! So I have been inspired to write what I suggest for FIRST time 5K people who may only be walking it at the least:

1. Work out at least twice a week. Start out at least three months before the actual 5K that you intend to do. For the first 2-3 weeks walk/run a mile. For the next 2-3 weeks walk/run two miles. Then the last couple of weeks before do 3.1 mile walking/running. You know that you do well for your first time if you can walk it in under 1 hour. I did it in 50 minutes and I ran about 5 minutes or so. (but I was also chaffing [tmi i know] and got water in my shoe somehow and I got a blister on my foot, so I am sure had these two factors not been in I would have cut at least 5 minutes of my time off). 
2. Its OKAY to walk! I mean I read about it everywhere, seriously I was in panic mode because I did not train AS much as I would have liked to, but it is OK! Just speed walk! 
3. You are NOT going to be the last one to finish, there are always those couple of people who just stroll the 5K! 
4. HYDRATION!!!!! Seriously the day before NO soda and the morning of drink some water before and after, but not too much, you do not wanna get sick!
5. Stretch BEFORE and AFTER! You will thank yourself later! Stretches to do: Promise you will like them!
6. I would go for one last training run/walk two days before, and take a break the day before. No heavy working out or anything, just hydrate yourself! 
7. Mentality. YOU CAN DO THIS! I found my downfall when I said I was not going to be doing it. Just tell yourself that you can do it. Even if you think you can't, trick yourself into doing it! Its the THE SECRET! 

If I can do it, you can too! I am not the skinniest chick on the block, and I hate exercising, it seriously takes a LOT of motivation to just go out for a 15 minute walk! But I did it! You just have to tell yourself that you love walking/running, and then afterwards you will be so high on life, that that doughnut that you wanted 30minutes prior... seems like nothing! 

Don't be a Homer Simpson...

Until Next Time!

Somethings I have learned from being a superhero GEEK!

I am a NERD! But not like this guy from The Simpsons!!!

I just saw the green lantern (LEGIT and Ryan Renolds is so hot, and totally deserved sexiest man alive), and some of my best life lessons that did not come from family or friends... came from superhero and action and fantasy movies and comic books. Now This is a side that people may or may not know about me, but superhero movies and action movies like Transformers and Fast and Furious, really make me more excited than a chick flick!!!! So I may miss some, and I will probably edit this post throughout time but here they are (some are my interpretations, feel free to add more):

• Green Lantern: WILL is stronger than FEAR! 
• Superman (Smallville): Sometimes the best hero is the hero within yourself! 
• Harry Potter: The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself! 
• Thor: Sometimes it is best to fight for what we love, even if they may contradict what our family and loved ones think! 
• Batman: Darkness never prevails in times when life needs a beam of light, even if that beam of light evolves from our darkest time. 
• Fast And the Furious: Sometimes you gotta have the drive to stay alive! 

There will be more as I think of them! But this is it for now! 

Until Next time... 

Just a little follow up on the last post! [read the last one to get this one]

I just wanna put a disclaimer : I LOVE SUU and Cedar and I am not trying to wish my life away, there are just moments (like with the whole roommate issue) that I am really excited to go. You cannot tell me you have never wanted to leave a place when something bad happens right?

Well I will update after the 4th of July... if I am still alive after the 5k! :-) 

This week... I tell you...

This week has been super stressful! I had a wonderful weekend with my family and I came back to Cedar and then that night roommate drama! I am so sick of having roommate drama this summer. I have never had such a serious issue with my roommates. So anyway I am not going to into detail about it all, because it is so stupid! Lets just say we figured out some solutions, that everyone agreed upon. Well the Monday my car decided it wanted to something funny -- like not  starting properly. So of course when the mechanic checks it there is nothing wrong with it at all. Go figure. So then that night there is another roommate drama thing, and ugh I am so sick of it! Can I say .. DECEMBER I AM SOOOO DONE!! :-) Of course I will miss those that I care about here in Cedar (you know who you are) but I need to get me out of this place lol and be adventurous! So then Tuesday I got a phone call from Lins (I had an interview there last week) and I did not get the job. I once again "did not meet their qualifications but they will keep my application pulled". Okay how hard is it to be a stupid BAG GIRL!? Ugh. So mad. But whatever. So this weekend I am going home and I am walking in the Murray 5k, and honestly I am gonna die, but I am so going to conquer this. Like my dad said... this too shall pass!
Today I had my final for my comm graphics class, then I have tomorrow as a work day and then Friday it is show our portfolios and websites to the class, and then I am done. I also got the information to finish my comm theory class with and I want to die. I am so sick of that class! I really am. It is the never ending cycle of doom. I just feel like this week I cannot catch a break, but I know things will have to get better... they will right?
Well I am done venting...
Much love.
Until Next time.....

I have the best internship EVER!

Things have been looking up a lot lately! I have the best internship! So far every Tuesday and Friday I go to work at Intermountain Hearing Clinic and I do office stuff with Lonna who is my "boss" I simply love it! I look forward to it SO MUCH! Tomorrow (well I guess today) I have a job interview! But here are some things I am looking forward to:

• The fourth of July
• Harry Potter
• Megan's Wedding (I am a bridesmaid)
• And HOPEFULLY (cross your fingers) I can go to her bridals! 

Anyway I must be getting to bed! I just thought that I would give you all a little positive note! I will expand more on everything else! I might even start the "people I met today" blog on here! You meet some interesting people here in Cedar!

Until Next time...

Things I am thinking about!

Getting a job in Cedar, and trying to figure out what to do job wise after I am done with school!



Thinking about Basshunter, and all my other niffty Music that I love... going back to being a little tween and putting pics up :)



Travel fever! I miss Paris and England! Its been almost five years since I went! I have an ITCH to go back! :)



Fourth of July!!! (and this 5k I am going to run/walk eeep!!!)

Anyway I feel like I have done enough thinking for one in the morning!
Until Next time!!!!

Oh Cedar City ...

I am getting frustrated. All of these job interviews and not getting them. I am trying to stay positive and trying to look at the bright side of life... but you cannot do that for much longer.

So for now I am in school, and I am just taking it easy and applying for jobs like there is no tomorrow.

That is the update for now!

Until next time!
