Gold's

Working full time and having a life and trying to train for a triathlon (see my older post about doing a triathlon in November) don't exactly mesh. So my co-worker and I have taken to going to the gym two days a week on our lunch break. At first I thought it was ridiculous and gross. However it is awesome! Where has this idea been all my life? We have a snack before we leave and change clothes at work and with the Gold's being 7-9 minutes away we essentially have a 40-45 minute workout! We don't do anything too overly exertive or sweaty just ride the bike for 15 minutes and then lift weights, do crunches, stretch, and in general just bask in the fact that we aren't at work. It's really great, it gives me an excuse to lift weights (which I normally never do). But now that Biggest Loser has started I am even more gung-ho into exercising. Before I hurt my ankle (March 2008) I was running 10+ miles a week and I would love to get back up to that!

Rock Climbing

A couple of weeks ago Jake bought me a rock climbing harness that was such a good deal on sale so we could go rock climbing together. The first time I tried to belay him down, this was a test run mind you-he was only 6 feet off the ground, I got yanked into the rock and scuffed up!!! He was scared I was going to drop him and frankly so was I. But I got it together and we had fun. I even completed a 5.6!

For Monica's birthday we watched
Kaydince! And College Football!

Sept 11

It's September 11th and I feel very disconnected from everything going on in NYC. It's hard to imagine what those people were and still are going through when I am so far away. I really want to visit New York sometime soon (never been always wanted to go). It is a very sad thing that we are being attacked because of our freedoms.
