As I was randomly searching college scholorships (don't judge) I cam across the "Doodle for Google" which has 5 age groups, from K-12 grade, that design and draw a google logo. 1 winner recieves (I always have to remember the "I before E" rule on that word.....) a $15,000 scholoraship plus tons of other cool srtuff and then 4 others recieve the same stuff but "only" $5,000. The art is amazing......http://www.google.com/doodle4google/index.html. I like the ones in my age group :)
I discovered this totally awesome organization that, when to list of volenteers is cmplete, they send you 3-5 names of athletes competing in the olympics to pray for. I signed up and am waiting for my names :) I can't wait! I encourage you too sign up too. http://olympics.athletesinaction.org/prayer-strategy/ Comment on whether or not you're in :)
Lately I've been seriously training for fall racing and then freshman track in the spring. Just base training, but boy is my plan hard. It's only 3 runs/week, a speed session, tempo, and long run. Plus lots of strength training and at least 2 x-training session. I'm really working on my diet. I've read some interesting stories of runners who became vegan and their performance just jumped to a whole new level. Then I faced reality: there is NO way I can give up meat. I eat it at least 5 times a week! I LOVE IT!! :) So I decided to just focus on eating a aplnt based diet. I'm very proud that i've weaned myself off of junk food. I don't even crave it! Now to work on those treaties.....
Camp Patriot 5K: In 19 days (July 4th)! Can't wait! I don't really have a goal time.....I'll only be half-way done with my training plan at the time so no slower than 31:00 is my goal. At the end of my plan I want to finnish in under 30:00, maybe a few seconds away from 29:00. It will be hot at the CP 5K so I have to account for that. Just want to enjoy it, as it's my first 5K! :) Plus it's $25 going to a great cause! (http://www.camppatriotfunrun.org/index.html)
This. Is. EPIC.
Just thought I would brighten your day.
My aunt and uncle are looking for a "little buddy" (*cough* dog *cough*). They've applied for two dogs but they got adopted :( Theyr'e still a searchin'! I guess they're wanting a small lap-dog, leaning towards a girl. Can't wait intill they get it....um, I mean her.
Tonight we went to Anthony's......my first time! I got a bowl of clam chowder and shrimp cocktail! Yum. The shrimpies were so tine and cute. I took pics and will upload them within 3 days......(not tomorrow.....well, probably not).
OK, I have to go make the last few things for the picnic! Elvada! (That's "goodbye" in turkish.....mwahaha!)
