Stairmaster Challenge
I challenged Allie to a duel. On the Stairmaster. Most flights wins (I think?).
We may or may not be friends after tomorrow morning.
Feel free to join in on the fun!

I want to run.
It’s so hard to know what your body is capable … if it was healthy.
I ran a half marathon in 1:53, and I know I could’ve broken 1:50. I accidentally took it easy, not knowing what to expect. (I ran the last 1.3 miles at a 7:30 pace.)
I ran a mile in 6:32 on May 25. That was even before I started my half training and got “fast.”
I ran 30+ miles a week. And I loved...

runlong replied to your post: Bizniz
Don’t you have a language arts degree, though?
I have two BAs: print journalism and Italian. Very useful.
I’ve always wanted to own a business, so the idea has been in my head for a few years. But my new writing venture delves into the marketing world, so I think it’d be beneficial to gain some business insight.

Let's play a game!
It’s called …
How offensive does my lunch smell?
Today’s contestant: curried lentil soup. Delicious but deadly.
How does it stack up against past challengers veggie scramble, cinnamon oatmeal and tzatziki chicken salad?
My students are going to be. So. Pissed.

My life just got easier
My gym parking validation now covers three hours instead of two.
This means …
I can get in a sweat-inducing workout in the morning AND shower!
Before, I would only have about 70 minutes to work out if I wanted to shower at the gym. (I have to factor in parking, getting to/from the garage to the gym, dressing, etc. The downside of having a gym downtown.)
And let’s be honest:...

The past two days have been exceptional.
I’ve started the mornings with inspiration and ended the nights with appreciation.
Did my positivity draw these incredible opportunities to me? Or am I brimming because of this week’s promising events?
In any case, I hope this cycle continues.
Here’s to industry innovation, sweaty workouts, supportive friends, loving husbands, Fox Mulder and passion—in work and play.

Ready for the week
Today I woke up feeling refreshed and hopeful. It’s an odd occurrence for a Monday morning.
Changes are coming my way in the coming months. I’m at peace with this for a very particular reason.
Too often I’ve let change happen to me instead of creating it myself.
Spring break was exactly what I needed. Time spent with our best friends in a new city. Cleaning—both the...

The only woman in the gym
At least two dozen bros surround me.
(And I guess I can’t forget the Suns dancers in the fitness room.)
Now I know why all the bros are here on Saturday night.

Cortisone shot 2
The first one was a breeze. Cotton candy pink steroids pleasantly pumped into my foot.
Number two? I’m about to amputate my foot.
It hurt during the injection. Seemed a bit odd, considering the first was painless.
It hurt leaving the office. It hurt last night. It hurts today.
Like a mofo.
Imagine a debilitating foot cramp … for eternity. That’s been the past 26...
Dear Allie
I turned down my sister’s extra Hunger Games ticket so we could bake protein bars.
YOU BETTER NOT DISAPPOINT.
Love,
Celeste

My shorts still fit!
I’ve been dreading trying them on. I last wore them about 6/7 pounds lighter.
Phoenix’s beautiful weather today warranted shorts.
And they are just fine.
Whew.

Flying standby means
Last one on the plane!
I got a seat next to a large and in charge businessman.
Let’s just say I have no elbow room.
Or really any room at all.
I’m incredibly sad to be leaving my Sara and Amanda on the east coast. What are the odds that my two best friends both moved to Baltimore?
I had so much fun (and so much food) this week. I’m leaving with a heavy heart, but it...

Follow these three steps and you, too, can gain pounds at an earth-shattering pace.
Run 40 miles a week.
Stop running.
Continue eating as if you run 40 miles a week.
You’re welcome!

Josiah's adventures in packing
Apparently I married a woman. Oops.
What about all of my hair products? And my shampoo and conditioner?
I never bring enough pairs of shoes when I’m on vacation.
I wish I could bring my cologne … actually, I think I’ll just spray all of my shirts.
He then proceded to unpack his entire bag to pre-spray his beloved Yves Saint Laurent scent all over his clothes.
Another...

Tonight in Illville
Watching Indiana Jones. Somehow I missed this one growing up.
What a great day!
…I think I spent 98 percent of it in bed.
P.S. - Why did no one tell me that Harrison Ford used to be a serious babe?

Sweating bullets, feeling awful, can’t sleep.
Thanks to Jo for passing along this lovely illness.
Did I mentioned I have progress reports this week? And a week-long vacation to prepare for?
I hope I make it until Friday…

A sobering read on disordered eating in the running community. I have a feeling a lot of us (including myself) can relate.

"We have a bar problem."
I’ve spent the past hour texting with Allie.
30 about different protein bar flavor combinations
5 about pooping
…now back to bar recipes.
