More Unnecessary Vlogging

By 14 Comments

Swim Lesson #1.

My pool is roughly 30 feet short and it takes 88 laps (down & back is one lap) to swim a mile. Of course I haven’t done that yet because I haven’t found an ample supply of air in the water.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Swimming is not my most favorite thing to do. I am 100% totally unnatural in the water. Be prepared for some really scary close ups. And yes, I know my neck looks fat. And yes, I am still working on the quality. Any ideas on that would be appreciated too.

Video Blogging: Leg Torture Session 5 & 6

By 17 Comments

A few words about what you are about to witness:

  • Leg torture is an hour long class, these are just snippets, which over the next few months, I hope begin to see an improvement in my strength and my running
  • Posting these videos – not the smartest thing I’ve ever done – you can laugh if you want
  • I can guarantee you the most boring 8.41 minutes of your life
  • These videos are not for the squeamish – you are about to witness a whole lot of ugly
  • A pancake is 5 lbs, a waffle is 10 lbs, and a blue is 25lbs – technical lingo I want to make sure you understand
  • In the leg torture session 6 video it looks like I have a penis when I’m squatting, I assure you I do not
  • The quality stinks – I’m working on that
  • My editing skills stink – I’m working on that too
  • It’s totally obvious I gained 5 lbs on vacation

Go ahead, mock me. Watch this video while I figure out why Photoshop is crashing on me – I’m working on my food photos for the week and, for some unknown reason, Photoshop is smiting me. Oh, and my voice doesn’t really sound like that. Really.

2007

January 2007

I began video blogging while failing at the infamous master cleanse.

I bought my favoritest t-shirt and talked a lot about my boobs.

I declare my war on organization, which is the only one of my resolutions that stuck throughout the year. I might try the video blogging again in 2008, it was fun while it lasted

February 2007

Michael and I began what will forever be known as “The Knollie Witch Project” and the most beautiful girl in the world got braces.

March 2007

My mother gave me some old photos, and Retro posting began. I also drove all the way to Indiana to run a 5-mile St. Patrick’s Day race with Sister Runner Amy – only to find out they had no green beer.

April 2007

I discover that if you wear too much eye shadow, you’ll gain weight.

May 2007

I entered my name in the NY Marathon lottery. I never win lotteries.

My precious little girl turned ten.

I run the Indianapolis Mini Marathon completely untrained, while in the meantime, Mother Nature builds Donkey a pool in my backyard.

June 2007

I get another year closer to 40. My lottery was chosen for the NY marathon.

July 2007

It’s too hot to handle and a nice RBF meetup.

August 2007

We move into the Knollie Witch Project and I go into withdraw because I spend 15 days without internet. My baby starts 5th grade.

September 2007

Septemberathon takes place in an effort to make up not training for 3 weeks while we move. It was hot, hot, hot. I also ran the Tour de Fleurs 20k and organized my new bedroom closet.

October 2007

I buy my most favoritest pair of boots ever in the history of boots. I love them so much I want to sleep in them.

I love my husband and Kenza is darn scary.

November 2007

The guest bedroom closet becomes my running closet.

I run my fifth marathon in five hours.

I cut off the hair I had been growing out for 2 years.

December 2007

Sister Runner Amy and I run our first half marathon together. My only 5k of the year was run this month and I decide to become Strong Like Helm.

It’s shocking, but Kenza can’t stay a baby forever and I realize puberty is around the corner.

And I finish out the year with an apple and by organizing my pantry, which, actually, is more exciting than it sounds.
