Marathon Training Update

Things have been coming along with the Marathon training. I feel like every day I get in better shape and the miles that I put in are becoming easier. My dad and I talk about 2x a week on how many miles that we have put in and how we are feeling. He has ran about 4 half marathons. I just found out last weekend that one of my best friends from Phx. is going to be running the half marathon. I am really excited for her. I have about 16 1/2 weeks left until the 26.2 miles gets me. It is something that I am really glad that I am pursuing. I like setting goals and working towards them like how I trained for Whitney. So I am still putting along and trying to get mentally tough.

Going Green

Go Green! This is something that I have not done very well. I was really never conscious about it. Since I have moved to California, I have noticed that all around me, people are going green. And now it is becoming a trend that is sweeping the nation. I have been trying to do better on going green. Every Sunday, Raul and I go to the farmer's market and the grocery store and instead of getting plastic bags we use reusable bags. I just got a really cute red canvas from Trader Joe's for my birthday. We have a recycle trash can but I have not been very good about recycling. Our house is really small and we have to put the regular trash on top of the dryer because our little Wilson loves garbage. That leaves no room for an extra trash can. I try on the weekends to get a paper bag out and put recyclables in it but that is the only time I recycle at home. Does anyone else have any go green suggestions? I just feel like I am not doing enough for the environment.

Question for my blogging buddies

I've decided that I want to be a bigger impact in people's lives. I want to put together a blog site that is all about healthy lifestyle management. The blog would have information about weight loss, healthy eating, healthy recipes, exercises, core workouts, etc....I have all of this education and experience with health promotion and I want to put it to good use. So here is my question for you all....if I build it do you think it would be used or even viewed? I need some feedback.....

Fake Dodger Fans?

We have been pretty busy lately with work so Raul decided to get six tickets to watch the Dodgers play against Arizona. We invited a couple of the track coaches from Long Beach. I was really excited to go because I have become a Dodger fan. I use to really be a big D-Backs fan when I lived in AZ but since I haven't been an Arizona resident for the past 5 years my love for D-backs baseball has slowly deminished. My new favorite baseball team are the Dodgers....the funny thing is Katie calls us fake Dodger fans....seriously, we even have our authentic fan gear when we go. Lets go Dodgers!
Anyway, we had a great time with Corey, Melissa, Katie, and Patrick. We all packed up in the Avalanch like sardines and had a ball of a good time at Chavez Ravine. Thanks guys for putting up with us.
By the way, it was pretty funny when Manny Ramirez got up to bat...everyone cheered "Less, go Manny" there was a girl about six rows down who was saying the same thing but throwing her hands up like she was a rapper or a gangster. Now...that is the way Raul and I cheer..."Less go Manny."

This just sums me up huh?!

I belong in 1995!

I did this little quiz on line. It is perfect. I had a great time in 1995....

City of Angels

This past Sunday, Katie invited Raul and I to go to an Angel's game with her and Pat. It was pretty neat. We have been wanting to go to an Angel's game since we moved to Cali but never committed to it until last weekend. I would have to say that I am a Dodger fan but a good game is a good game. We found tickets at a really great price and had great seats. They played the Texas Rangers and ended up losing but the game was still fun. My favorite part was in the 8th inning where if you cheered for the Rally Monkey....believe...and he will come. Monkey???!!!!
