Current Mood: groggy
this weekend i...
got to see some of my closest friends in one place which is very unusual.
i learned what i did to my arm and what i need to do to help it heal.
was also given a wonderful gift and the opportunity for release, and to show a part of my self that i usually have to hide.

great weekend i will be smiling and slightly giddy for at least the next week.

Jan. 8th, 2008 @ 06:40 pm i love being healthy
Current Location: gillette
Current Mood: chipper
i love taking care of my body. today i did 10x20s (200m) sprints plus my lifting work out for vaulting. it felt good to drip with sweat. i have completely cut all refined sugar and simple carbs out of my diet, and yesterday i made a trip to the store and picked up a protein shake/bars. with the change in diet, the higher intake of protein and the return to my work out regiment, today i noticed how great i feel, and how well i am sleeping.
i love taking care of my self.
and i love the gym,
and just being healthy.

i'm also excited to go out and dance for hours tonight!

Jan. 3rd, 2008 @ 09:49 pm last day in idaho
Current Location: hailey, Idaho
Current Mood: content
today was my last day in idaho and also my god sisters birthday
we didn't have time to go skiing so instead we...
took a 3 mile snowshoeing adventure, breaking trail, we went where no one had been since the winter snow settled in.
then a quick shopping venture where i got my first set of gaiters-which means a lot of winter hiking to come.
the birthday dinner was homemade pizza and homemade cake.
i love it out here and i will miss it when i go home but two days of skiing ahead of me with my best friend and little brother.
this has been an amazing vacation that i will remember for a while to come.

Current Mood: okay
Today was a late start, 9.30.
We worked in the morning setting up for a Santa visit to an elementary school.
At noon the children started coming in.
I...
signed books "merry christmas, from santa"
handed out presents to lots of little ones [pre-K-1st grade]
At the end of the day we were fed some amazing homemade food in thanks.

Kids who for the most part have been living in FEMA trailer parks for over a year, and most of them within the next month are going to be kicked out with their parents.
The majority of them will have nowhere to go.
We made sorted and handed out presents to 700 of these children.

Current Location: New Orleans
Current Mood: okay
9am-2.30pm walked, played with and made food for rescued dogs
3-4.30 drove to the brad pitt pink town to find RUBARB bike shop got lost and finally found it
4.30-7 picked up two x-mass trees one for a family that has 6 kids, so eight people living in a 2 room apt. they were here during the evacuation and we listened to the father's first hand account of what it was like to be evacuated to the superdome
7-8 moved stuff into the new condo and set it up for the newly arriving volunteers, including the other x-mass tree.
8.30 went out to eat with my mother and had the a meal at Dick and Jenny's that would definitely rank in my top 5 favorite meals.

tomorrow i get up at 6.30 to go on a run. work starts at 8.30.

Nov. 19th, 2007 @ 08:05 pm i'm really excited!
Current Location: campus center
Current Mood: happy
Current Music: gladiator soundtrack
break is in a few days and i am having now 5 people over for t-day, 4 smithies and one bf of a smithie. it makes me very happy that i can share my home with people who are staying on campus over break. some of them are even going to come early and cook w/ my mum and i!!! the others are going to be preparing something together on campus and bringing it over later in the day.
i am also over winter break going to be going to new orleans to do volunteer relief work with my mother then coming home for x-mass day and i think that owen will be home so i plan on going skiing and camping with him. best of all i'll even make it back in time for track.
track is making me extremely proud of my self, in a good way. i am proud that i have quit smoking and that i though at times when i am running all my muscles are burning, my calves cramping up, i can't take a breath and i feel like i'm going to pass out and puke (all this at the same time) i push through and keep going. after each practice i look back and i find my self thinking "yeah j you actually did that, you pushed your self beyond the doubt."
today we did 6x300 (6 300 meter sprints, that 1 1/2 times around the track at sprinting speed with 2 minutes recovery walk). our goal time was 1.06 and we ran them all under time. also...i start pole vaulting tomorrow.
mmm...and ya gotta love the ice baths after each practice....

so much good right now and so much to look forward to.

when your brother comes over
you eat some chinese food and drink good beer,
thus making a shitty morning into an amazing day.
then to top it all off an amazing girl sits down and spends the day with you,
and in the end agrees to a date.
