Well it is Thursday again. Even though I think a few Thursdays slipped away with out me posting why my life is so wonderful for the rest of the world to read!

  • My family is freaking awesome even though they are all total crazies. Rather than explaining them I shall just post photos as evidence. Luff you all and you are welcome for me sharing these photos with the world. I can not find any funny photos of my parents so I can just say they are the coolest people in the world. Ever.

  • I have been racing the spring Wednesday night cross country races. I have been beating my times from last year by a lot. Great success. Training is paying off.
  • I am going back to Vegas in June. I am so so so so so excited we are staying at the MGM signature and it is so fancy and so much nicer than where I stayed last time. I am going to get my serious tan on and shop.

Oh HAI Vegas.

In other news

Life is pretty dandy. My job is amazing and the weather is finally stabilizing in poo hole Edmonton. I have been training 30km plus a week. Last week had a bit of well A) a really shitty week and B) my body felt decrepit. Everything was sore all the time and I did not even want to move. So I only ran 20km and took three days off. I had a minor heart attack because I wasn’t making mileage and thought I was going to get fat and die. WELL none of those things happened and that taught me a very important lesson. Take time to rest and listen to your body. 3 years ago I tore my right quad really badly. I was out quite awhile, arguably I came back from training too soon but it all worked out. That was the crappiest thing ever because I couldn’t run at all. So last week I just kept telling myself, rest or injury? Obviously rest was the best thing for me this week I am back in full swing and my training times are banging fast. This week of training looks like this,

  • MONDAY 5km TUESDAY 5km WEDNESDAY 4.5 xc race THURSDAY lift FRIDAY 8km SATURDAY 5.4 xc race prerun SUNDAY 10km 30×1 w/1 intervals = 37.9 km

Well that is all for now

BYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYE

Why Pinterest Is Evil…..and wonderful.

We all know what Pinterest is, the site women go crazy over because they can sit at their computer and look at pretty things over and over and over. Now I am not hating on Pinterest I am also on the wagon; I have made a magical wardrobe online, it is like a reference point for when I go shopping. There is also really cute pictures of animals and I luffs myself a tute animal photo.

Why is Pinterest evil?

Because of the “motivational” photos all over it. Some of them are very positive but I find a lot of photos that girls will just sit there and look at and wish they could be that. Some of the photos allude to thinspiration; which is something that people with eating disorders obsess over. Trying to be that skinny, or that fit, or that small. Also staring at “hot” people on a computer screen won’t get you in shape; I find it easy to waste time on Pinterest and that could be valuable time for some people to work out. I use to be super addicted and now I just “Pin” if I am bored or have free time, like my day off from running. Also under many of the picture girls pin they write “one day”. It is the purest form of media influencing people to hate themselves.

This girl is shredded. She also probably only eats chicken, celery, and egg whites.

Many of these girls are fitness models, who live and train to be shredded and super fit. The everyday person is not going to look like that from working out a little bit. It is also important to find targets that your body can actually meet because everyone is not born super tall and thin. Below are two of my favorite “fitness” pins.

This is fairly accurate.

Hahahahahahha so true.

Now for some more positive words about Pinterest; you can find fancy outfits, funny things, and cute pets; here are some of my favorite pins.

No one would mess with this super cat.

Hai GURL, just working on my fitness.

hahahah

I get han-gry all the time haha

That is all for now, time to be productive and all that stuff adults do.
